Personally, I only judge democratically elected political leaders of a country if they have gone through the democratic process and been elected by the majority of voters. As you know, our dear Gordon has not, something I am sure you have been told before, I consider him like all the other dictators of the world, past or present.
I am particularly annoyed that even if he loses the next general election, provided he does not ban it first and declare it illegal, that as an english voter, I do not even have a say in his status as a mere MP as his constituency is Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, therefore, to english voters he is democratically untouchable as a politician, which simply enforces my comparison with a dictator.
Brown assumed office in June 2007, after the resignation of Tony Blair but I do not like to hear the word 'assumed' in politics, in my opinion it has no place in any healthy democratic process.

So, after giving you a pleasant welcome, you decide to launch into Forum Garden by dissing my Great leader do you??
Right mate, the gloves are off and you join the ranks of that haggis botherer gmc and that Leprechaun galbally.
First of all, Tony lying, Judas, back-stabbing Blair did not resign. I repeat, did not resign. Gordon Brown is Scottish and he had his one eye on Blair's job for years. Do you not read the Daily mail?? If you did, you would know that the Great Gordon ousted Blair out on his sorry backside. The Great Gordon had two choices whilst doing the fantastic job of being Chancellor of the Exchequer. One, he could have resigned. That would have probably brought down the Labour government and he would have had to defect to the Tory tossers to take over the country. Two, he could sit it out under Blair, screwing up the economy just to make Blair look bad, and i for one, applaud him for doing a wonderful job. This is where Brown's Scottish cannyness came in. Gordon Brown had the party faithfull to vote Blair out and him in. The Cabinet voted Blair out in favour of Brown. The Cabinet spoke on behalf of the great British public.
Two, if you had paid attention to the landmark by-election in Glenrothes, it would have given you an idea of how a general election will go should the Great Gordon decide to call a snap election in June whilst riding high on his popularity. No doubt, i'll have that heather muncher from Fife, gmc, on in a minute moaning about the turn-out but here's the result just incase you missed it.
GORDON BROWN 1
SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY 0
CONSERVATIVE LOST THEIR DEPOSIT :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
Before the Glenrothes by-election, cama- 'Moron' was calling for a general election when polls showed Labour 14% behind.
Cameron now has his people on high alert after the Great Gordon's popularity has risen to put Labour to date at only 2% behind and gaining fast.
Of course, he is untouchable as a politician and that's the way we like it and that's the way he'll stay. :yh_rotfl
The Great Gordon has ruled out any chance of calling an election in June but just be warned, after all, he's hardly going to tell the truth is he now??
