Re: Coronation
I agree that it's a little strange there was no internal party election, however the UK didn't vote Tony Blair in either.

Re: Coronation
Brown squeezed out all possible contenders so that he got the job. If he had any decency and care for democracy he would call a general election straight away, otherwise I dont see how him and his cronies have any kind of mandate to do anything. After 10 years in office I think labour have no idea that the "people" even exist anymore.

Re: Coronation
It's not like USA where you vote for the president. The Prime minister is only PM because the fact that they are the leader of the party in power. The only possible options for my vote during the general election were Martin Horwood, Vanessa Gearson, Christopher Evans, Robert Hodges, Keith Bessant, Niall Warry and Dancing Ken Hanks so it's impossible to say that Tony Blair was elected directly by the people.

Re: Coronation
Okay I know who you mean now, I just never knew his name. Certainly a more interesting character to have at No. 10 than dull as dish water Brown.

Re: Coronation
He is much more radical and socialist-leaning than Bliar.
I don't think he is going to poodle up to Shrub the way Tony did.
