Gordon Brown - Coward?

[Fordy]

Yes, he was going full steam ahead towards an election when Labour were 11 points ahead in the polls only for David Cameron to claw back that lead and in some polls even take the lead himself. Brown should either have put up or shut up and not allowed his advisers to stoke up speculation of an election only to back down and this could cause irreperable damage to the Prime Ministers authority

( i was gona jus say i like brown, then thought about it )

i dont think u can blame him, conservatives got the whole inheritance tax thing just as the whole election thing was starting so they would attract extra voters with that and have momentum.

i think brown will be a beast for uk, i like him.

Yep, he's a coward.

Personally, I believe he thought he would romp the election, so went ahead with all the media hype. Then The Conservatives pulled level in the opinion polls, and he thought to himself "Whoa"

To lose The General Election now would be the biggest own goal in political history. Brown waited ten years to get in there in the first place, and to blow it within three months would be disaster, and he knows it! And it's not a risk he seems prepared to take.

I don't think the PM should have the right to call an election early.

I think the rules should be changed so you have a set term time, and an election at the end of that.

Agreed.
Though i do think Brown will make for a good PM, if he's in office long enough.

conservatives superficial policies are headline grabbing but dont add up

their inheritance tax policy only benefits the top 1.5% (earners/rich ppl)

just watch pmqs on bbc2, cameron was jus name calling and trying to make a joke of brown, brown soaked it up then crushed conservatives with real stats, and proved that hes the daddy

cameron got some soundbites in so the media will prob pick that up, but brown easily defeated cameron today with facts and figures to back everything he said up.

Cameron = immature toff who is has no substance

Most of Labour is based on pinched policies from The Conservatives, how do you think they got in in the first place? New Labour? Load of cr@p, it was a reinvention aimed at Tory voters, and it worked. It's what's known as "Spin", hence the phrase "spin doctors", the people employed to make you believe all the garbage that every politician spouts out.

I've been around for long enough to know that they are all as bad as each other, and regardless of who gets voted in, nothing ever changes. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. They give with one hand and rob you blind with the other.

The day one of them actually works for a living, slaving their guts out for 12 hours a day just to put a plate of food in front of the family, and does it year in and year out, so is in touch with how the common man lives, is the day I believe the sh!t they keep feeding us. Let's face a basic fact, someone with in excess of £60,000 PLUS expenses before they even start, would have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what real life on the estates of our towns and cities is all about.......

Spot on mate.

all this 'New Labour' bollocks did is blur the political lines they are, to all intents and purposes, Conservatives.

there is now no party interested in the working class man.

Not going against anyone but if Scotland is there own country then why is there a PM that is Scottish in England
Wales & England share the same rules but Scotland is there own country where's Wales has never been one only apart of the UK so what i'm getting at is that Brown should be with all the other MP's & so on in Scotland
