How can Brown dare to expect the electorate of this country to listen to his ‘pledges’ or ‘vows’ if he always fails to listen to what the electorate has been telling him all the time…

If the Labour Party is interested in victory of the next general election Gordon Brown PM MUST RESIGN instantly and take away with him his bandwagon of incapable senior ministers (provided he still has some self-respect left).

Otherwise, he ought to be SACKED and ousted immediately and replaced with someone capable of trying hard to put this country back on its track. Isn’t there anybody else with some political and administrative talents within that Labour Party for it must have such an inept leader Brown?

New Labour. DO you want to win the next general election, or NOT?
If yes, start thinking and drawing conclusions from your thinking (on condition that you are still able to think!) before it’s not too late. Hurry up before you will have awaked ’with your right hand in a chamber pot!’

Actually, I cannot see how changing leadership will help Labour? I think Mr Brown is a very good leader of the Labour Party. The problem seems to be their policies. For example, they are effective at reducing crime only to a point. On the other hand they have grasped how effective attacking a criminal's wealth can be. Although they have done too little in this regard, they have done more than any other party in this respect. How well do the other parties understand concern about crime? Like the BBC leadership, many UK politicians of all parties find 1980's levels quite acceptable and have only just grasped that not all are effected by crime to the same degree.

You are just proving that Gordon Brown is a very BAD leader for IT IS HIM who is responsible for the policies of the New Labour Party. Mind that Brown wrecked the state’s finances when being the Chancellor of the Exchequers. As Prime Minister his incapability helped him to upgrade the process of the destruction of this country, as well as the destruction of the traditional ideal of the Labour movement, inherited from descending Tony Blair.
The change of the party’s policies is equally necessary as the change of the leadership, for NOBODY in this country (apart of you and some ‘worshippers’ like you) believe in what
Brown says. However, every cool-minded and sceptic person sees Brown stubbornly striving to ‘glaze the arse’ of the electorate by means of his lies wrapped with his never-ever-materialised, meaningless vows and pledges. Even children don’t want to listen to the verbal misery of Brown’s ‘vows’ and ‘pledges.’
Awake, Jim, from your ‘political’ dream. Like the failed and disgruntled New Labour, awake before it is not too late. Otherwise, be prepared to awake a bit later, but with ‘your RIGHT hand in a chamber pot.
