That should come as good news to Brits. :)

But I think this is bigger.

Gordon Brown to resign as Prime Minister (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/gordon-brown/7706876/Gordon-Brown-to-resign-as-Prime-Minister-as-Labour-and-Lib-Dems-prepare-for-talks.html)

bliar, brown... who cares. Theres no shortage of those willing to take the money and fuck over britons.

Id say they have actually accomplisehed the socialist dogma, that there are no people of import, only inevitable historical events.

Indeed, and even worse... the prime minister is elected by the parliament (a parliament filled with incumbents who are corrupt to the core). So the face may change but trends won't.

:confused: Exactly as my opening post said.

[poiuytrewq0987]

:confused: Exactly as my opening post said.

Actually:


The Liberal Democrat leader said: "It must have been a very difficult thing for him to say personally. But I think he's taken it in the national interest and I think his announcement could be an important element in the smooth transition towards a stable government that people deserve - without prejudicing or predicting what the outcome of the talks will be between ourselves and the Labour party."

Mr Brown also re-iterated his commitment to electoral reform, which would also include “reform of the House of Lords”.

If Mr Brown’s plan came to fruition, it would mean the country being led by a second successive unelected Labour Prime Minister.
Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, said: “Labour and the Liberal Democrats are very close together. This will be a partnership of principle.

“We would go into these negotiations determined to succeed. Fifteen million people voted for Labour and the Liberal Democrats combined, only ten million voted for the Conservatives.”

Alastair Campbell, the former Downing Street communications chief, rejected accusations that a second unelected Prime Minister would be undemocratic, saying: “It’s a parliamentary democracy, not a presidential system. The Prime Minister is chosen by parliament.”

Actually, there is no election for the PM at all. He is merely the one deemed capable of forming a government. He can be de-elected by parliament, however, in a vote of no confidence.

[Wulfhere]

Yeah, I found that odd. The Telegraph said that he's resigning as prime minister but the yahoo link said he is only resigning as leader of the labor party.

Assuming Labour were still in power, one implies the other.

Not really, we now face the worst possible outcome……a Lib-Lab coalition, which means a minority government and the prospect of another Prime Minister that no one voted for.

That's two unelected PM in a row and a government that doesn't even qualify for a mandate by the nonsensical criteria of British elections.

And British men and women are dying in Afghanistan for this?

Anyone who calls the UK a democracy after this farce wants a bullet in their skull.

I'm sure he's a multimillionaire by now as his salary is quite generous. He will probably retire in a nice villa outside of London and hire prostitutes to come by every night. He's in a good position right now... at the expense of the British taxpayer, of course.

[Beorn]

Actually:

It read differently as I posted it. Perhaps it is updating after a certain period as new "news" comes through?

[poiuytrewq0987]

It seems like his resignation was not solely his decision but rather had a little "push" by the ones higher on the ladder.


''This morning, I had conversations with the president of the European Council, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund and the president of the European Central Bank.

Right, because the British Labour Prime Minister resigining, which will have effects on all of Britain, only deserves a space in the Scottish section?

John, I think you care more about the fact that Brown is Scottish than the fact that he's a cunt.

[Beorn]

1) He is Scottish.
2) He is an elected Scottish MP.
3) He...?
4) .........?
5) Profit.

He would have been put in the Wales section if he was Welsh.

[Murphy]

He's the British Prime Minister.

[Beorn]

Yes, of course, but he is also Scottish.

[Murphy]

Yes, of course, but he is also Scottish.

His being British right now is more important than his being Scottish.

[SwordoftheVistula]

Not really. The Conservatives would have a clear majority if not for only winning 1 out of 59 seats in Scotland.

[Graham]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Ruled by a bunch of toffs and loads of budget cuts. Doesn't sound that great
wheesht!!

[Treffie]

^For every £3 made on revenue from taxes, Gordon Brown was spending £4. This is obviously unsustainable, so no wonder we're in a worse situation than Germany, France etc.

[poiuytrewq0987]

I read a telegraph article yesterday, and it said that Cameron was going to replace Brown for premiership. Is that true?

Yep, Cameron is our new leader.

[poiuytrewq0987]

Yep, Cameron is our new leader.

Is that good or bad? However, considering that he is a part of the "LibLabCon" so I can't imagine it's even good at all.

Good so far as with the “modern” “progressive” Conservative Party you get what you would get with Labour but a bit slower………good/bad in the sense that Davey boy must have taken Clegg’s pecker right up the ass to walk into Downing Street, so gawd alone knows what legislation proffered by the Lib-Dems (who incidentally have made the Tories sign an agreement, which means if the “alliance” doesn’t work out the Tories can’t walk away and call another election, so with Clegg as second in command I have a nasty feeling we will see a lot more hippy-dippy stuff coming out of Westminster), the benefit of all this is that the last remaining real right wing Conservatives in the party may rebel, may force the issue, may even leave the Conservatives and form a separate party.
