Gordon Brown Should Resign
In most polls labour are losing and the conservatives are winning. I did an online survey and nearly everyone said he should resign

Labour need a new leader, otherwise the Tories will gain too much power. Which is a very bad case scenario.

Of course he should resign. It's obvious that, as Prime Minister, he's been one of the most miserable failures in British history.

You can slice and dice it however you like. You can say the public perception is unjust and that, really, his policies are actually great (although they're not). But that's what politics is - speaking to people, persuading them, taking them with you. It's not some abstract thing, like mathematicians doing weird equations in leafy academic bowers.

Part of the argument (or is it just animosity rather than argument) against Brown stems from him being seen as too Scottish. Now he loses a seat even in his Scottish heartland.

No, he should call for a general election so that we can have conservatives - HOORAY!

There are too many people involved in this unprecedented attack on Gordon Brown, who haven't got a clem about politics. The worst thing David Cameron could possibly do is light the blue touch paper to fire Gordon Brown's release as PM. The longer Brown stays in power, the more Labour will slump in all the opinion polls. Why should Brown take all the flack? It was that clown Tony Blair who is to blame for our economic slump, OK, Brown had his hands on the little red suitcase at the time, but it was Blair who was pulling all the strings. If anyone is to blame for the economic demise of our country it is teflon Tony!

 To-day Glasgow East, to-morrow the rest of Scotland, even Gordon looses his seat.
I said Gordon Brown would be dragged screaming from No 10 in a straight jacket, now I am not so sure.
The men in gray suits should be able to talk him into going quietly. It would be too big a price for even him to pay.

No. As long as Gordon is there the Conservatives have a sniff. The Conservatives need to do better.

If anyone believes that it will be better under the Conservatives they are heading for disappointment.
Since Gordon refused to give Britain's a say in the E.U. (As did Blaire) The polls have gone against him. And as for bailing out Banks, don't get me started.
What is even more disturbing for many surveyed is that despite, The Irish no, they will ratify the Lisbon treaty any way. What Nerve. We want Politicians who want us to be in Europe, not run by unelected officials. What have the Tories got to say on this and many other things. Not much.
