ScottishJohn 25 #10 May 10, 2007 It looks like John "2 Jags" Prescott has decided to leave as well. So that makes 2 ministers (John Reid & John Prescott ) to have jumped before Gordon Brown gets some real power and has a purge of Tony's pals. Fortunately I can't see Gordon Brown surviving a general election.

JackC 0 #22 May 17, 2007 QuoteWell, strictly speaking we've never had an elected PM. Technically that's true but people do vote based on who is likely to be the next prime minister. In situations like this where the new PM gets "coronated", many voters feel cheated and rightly so. The honourable thing would be for Gordon Brown to call a general election. What are the chances of that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
