HM current government, what a waste of time you are!

Well, this is Brown all over, saying that he won't change his mind and then he lacks the courage to stand by his convictions. Also, it is terribly demonstrative of Labour policies - you start with a big policy, (e.g. scrapping the 10p tax rate) then you tweak little parts of it to appease certain groups, then you come back and say you will scrap tax rises because of the high cost of living, (showing that they weren't essential to government income in the first place, hence maybe not needed and also showing how Brown is trying to sucker us into a vote for him at the Election) and you end up with a policy picked apart that we'll just have to come back to and completely overhaul in a few years time. (i.e. immediately after the next Election) That my friends is certainly not what I would call consistency.

Brown to abolish tax rises?

Gordon Brown faces a "stalking horse" challenge

Well, this would be the icing on the cake! (if there was a "stalking horse" to challenge Brown) Eventually I'll get round to posting on my blog a long list of things I disagree with about this man, or rather, what he represents at the present time. However, for those people who say "Get him out, he's unelected!" Although technically true, it's also true that our rules state that the leader of the party that has has the majority in Parliament is also Prime Minister. So when the Labour Party voted Brown in as leader, he did nothing unconstitutional to automatically assume the role of Prime Minister too.
