    If he goes, who's going to replace him?

    I just can't see anyone in Labour at the moment that would be a strong leader.

    And who would want it. If I was a Labour MP and wanted to be PM for any length of time I'd let Gordon take the general election loss and then go for the on the leadership, hope the conservatives mess up their 1st term and Labour get voted in at the general election after.

    They would still need a turn around on the 10p tax and car tax to get voters back, which would leave the concervatives with the moral highground and leave labour with a budget that just doesn't balance (even more so ) and in tern would need to tax heavier next budget round after borrowing more.



    He does need to go imeadiatly to give labour a poor chance from no chance.

    I wish they would all go, call an election now and get it over with. That won't happen of course and we will be stuck with them until 2010. Them and their wacky national identity register, tax credit scheme and generally fascist ideology.

    I'd prefer Brown to stay, so he can suffer the humiliation of a landslide defeat at the next election. Pretty much all of our current economic woes are as the result of the policies he enacted in his 10 years as Chancellor, so it would be richly deserved.

    I'm not at all convinced that if you took the best people from every political party in the U.K. that you could form a decent cabinet.

    I think people are fed up with Labour. I know I am.

    labour is screwed now, and brown should really be out already... but can Cameron, the next obvious choice, do much better?
