Glad to see Brown resigning. This is a strategic masterstroke in my opinion. With Brown out of the way there is nothing to stop the Lib Dems from working with Labour - and ensuring the 64% majority in the UK who voted for progression and not the Tories are represented by a government who broadly represents their views.
Maybe with a new leader and some popular policies, Labour might just win an election outright in 6 months time.
Add to that those - like me - who felt that no party met their needs - and did not vote - about 35% of the population did not vote and I would expect that many old Labour supporters found themselves unable to vote for Brown, but also unable to vote for anyone else.
If I knew Brown was going I may well have voted Labour.
This is my main blog - it's been going since 2004. It was originally my personal diary but has expanded to something more sophisticated, thanks to Blogger. Most articles on this site are unfinished and remain so. I am trying very very hard to change this! I have a sidebar on the right - please scroll down - full great web sites, articles, podcasts, etc. The tone of this blog is mostly unfocussed, and long may it remain so...
