Brown Crowned Labour Leader

Category: In The Media,PersonalChrisM @ 9:48 pm

Flicking around the news channels, I managed to catch some of the conference where Gordon Brown was officially put in place as the Labour Party leader over in Britain. This Wednesday will see him become the Prime Minister, but for now, it is just the political party that he rules.
It was interesting to hear him talk, and he appears to be more closely leaning to the old ‘real’ Labour way of thinking than Tony Blair’s New Labour of the past decade. Many people are entirely cynical when it comes to politicians, but I have to admit, I do still have a small hope that the direction this government will take will be for the better…

No Great Surprise…

It appears that Gordon Brown will be the next Prime Minister, without the need for any real (fresh) campaigning on his behalf.
I think it is time for Tony Blair to move aside, for one, his lap dog status to George Duuuuh-bya Bush in the left-wing press is doing the labour party itself no good. I’ve heard some younger friends moan about the Labour party, and where Britain currently resides in world estimation, but from a selfish point of view, I’m certainly glad that the Tories don’t have cat in hells chance of actually winning the next election or two. Thatcher taught me to be a ruthless profiteer at school, always on the look out for money making schemes. This helped my bank balance, but certainly didn’t improve my way of thinking and approaching the world. Given a choice between another ten or even fifteen years of Blair PMing, even with the sucking up to multi-national corporates so alien to old-school, ‘proper’ labour supporters, and having another Conservative led government, I’d take any flavour of red…
Anyway, check out the article here for more info on Browns virtually assured un-opposed coronation as next PM.
