well Tony Blair is soon to be a thing of the past and if you thought he was bad, look what we are getting next, his overweight scottish accountant. Any thoughts on the subject?

I thought Mr.Brown was really popular there. I am not British, but I used to get some British newpapers at my library, and from the news and tabloid coverage on Brown, I thought he was sort of a cult figure there! I would like to know what makes him a bad choice as a prime minster. To me, he has a charismatic persona and communicates well. And I have read somewhere that he has his own strong views and won't be a Bush-Buddy. But since I am not an insider, I am really interested in hearing more on this.

Its interesting how views of people are changed depending on where you live. I wonder if my views of other political leaders in other countries are even close. Anyone want to respond to this? I find the man to be a bland and penny pinching miser who is likely to put taxes through the roof, but thats just my view.

Mrs. Brown (also released as Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown, presumably for the benefit of people who might not understand the original title) is a 1997 movie starring Dame Judi Dench, Billy Connolly, Geoffrey Palmer, Antony Sher, and Gerard Butler. It was written by Jeremy Brock and directed by John Madden.
The film was produced by the BBC and Ecosse Films with the intention of being shown on BBC One and on WGBH's Masterpiece Theatre, but was subsequently picked up for cinema distribution by Miramax, where it was an unexpected success.

I think you are missing the point of the thread, sorry. We are talking about Gordon Brown, Tony Blairs soon to be successor.

I'm not looking forward to gordan Brown in charge of the country, he just doesn't come across as a natural leader like Tony Blair. OK mr Blair made some stupid decisions, namely invading Iraq, but he does come across as a decent leader, he is a fantastic speaker and i think we could rely on him in an emergency. Gordon Brown i'm not so sure about, he's a good chancellor, kept the economy going well, but i think thats as far as he should go
