Opinion of Gordon Brown

[You kip if you want to...]

Jumping onto the international leader polls bandwagon and voting FF.

My thoughts exactly really.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Coopted some of the Blair policies concerning war on terror and seemed very disliked by his fellow Labor members.  Hope someone challenges him from the left, because I don't see him being reelected.

Horrible Person

It's virtually impossible at this point, but David Cameron's hardly wildly popular either.

I'll agree to that. He's better than the alternative.

[afleitch]

Woeful. Utterly woeful.

But the joke is really on those in the Labour Party who thought he would be good. He was essentially marketed as 'Attlee 2'; a breath of fresh air after Blair but he really has been dreadful. He is more opportunistic than Blair, because Blair was so smooth you didn't know whether he was genuine. With Brown you know he isn't. He is a man who looks uncomfortable in his own shoes with the flashbulb smiles and the announcements on England winning this and that, or the death of a celebrity going hand in hand with silence on the important issues. He single handedly mis-managed our economy as Chancellor and set the ground for our recession and couldn't stop tinkering when he was PM so that now we will be the last major economy out of the recession with a doubling of the national debt.

He spent his whole life in the shadow treasury and treasury, never tackled any of the tough 'public target' jobs out there like health or education and brought his bullying seiged cabal mentality with him into Downing Street.

He will go down as a poor Chancellor and an even worse Prime Minister. And to think of all the Scottish politicans who have left us.

'At least he's not David Cameron' Yes thank goodness he's not!

[Silent Hunter]

He didn't set the ground for the current recession, although he should have done more to prevent it. The real cause of the recession was the "greed is good" culture created by Thatcher.

That said, he's been fairly poor at this. He should have remained Chancellor, I'd say.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

FF

Incompetent party leader

And one of those world leaders who are actually figthing with crisis

You will find that has existed in this country and indeed all 'capitalist' nations for a long time If you think Thatcher was 'greedy' cast your mind back a hundred or so years ago...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

He's been a bad Leader of the Labour Party. As far as being PM goes, not perfect but I prefer him to his predecessor. Meh.

[Antonio the Sixth]

HP, this guy is ruining his own party and absolutely doesn't care about.

[minionofmidas]

A man who came to a post that he's not really suited for, at the worst possible time.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I was tempted to vote FF considering his role in helping ruin the Labour Party. However, since the Conservative Party isn't much better, I still voted HP.

[k-onmmunist]

Absolute HP, one of our worst PM's ever, along with Heath.

[minionofmidas]

Woeful. Utterly woeful.

You think that's what PMs are for? I don't.

It's bad enough they do that sh!t, but I prefer them to be at least real and honest enough to look uncomfortable at it.

[GMantis]

I can't call someone who is willing justice to the wind in order to strike a deal with with Gaddafi anything other than a horrible person.
