Is Mr Brown behaving like a dictator?

[NMH]

I don't really understand the hatred towards Brown. He's a bit of an arse, has made a few poor decisions, & struggles to communicate. I don't doubt however, that his heart is in the right place. What's he done that causes people to hate him? I can see it with Thatcher as she destroyed communities, & Blair because of Iraq, but Brown gets way more stick than those two

Thatcher stuck her awful nose out front, and smiled as she screwed.

Gordo was last seen with

Personally I think he should do the right thing and just f*** off now

All well and good, but who actually runs the country between 'now' and when Cameron/Clegg or anyone else gets together and decides who forms the next government?

I have never liked Labour and I don't like Brown but in my mind he's doing the right thing and with a bit more courtesy and dignity than I actually thought he would. In fact I might even start to like him if he publicly assassinated Peter Mandelson

18 million people voted to get rid of gord and still he clings on by his chewed down finger nails.The man will not walk unless his nurse sarah tells him to. He is a liability and should be dragged out by the quenns bodyguards. The man with the most votes should walk in and start getting us out of the mess which gord created over the last 10 years of wreckless spending..He caused it....And as for Clegg!

If I was Cameron I would let Brown and Clegg get on with it because with all the hardship this country is about to go through by next spring there will be another election and the Lib/Lab vote will take a hammering so leaving the door open for a Tory landslide.

But he'd have to step down having lost, he couldn't stay in opposition. Then they will install someone woeful like Osbourne and then they will lose

I get pretty fed-up of hearing this shit. We vote for a party, the parties leader is the Prime Minister - its legal so get fuckin over it. Whether we like it or not has nothing to do with it. Ian Hislop is a smug little prick, if he was standing in front of me now I would stick a pickaxe through his spinal column.

Then you are either being disingenuous or naive.
Yes, we have a Parliamentary democracy and elect constituency MPs; but to somehow pretend that a vast number of people don't vote based on the Party leaders is, frankly, stupid.

Why did the Tories campaign with "Vote Blair - get Brown." in 2005?
Why did Labour make so much of Cameron being Eton educated this time?

Because they know that most people vote according to who they want to be PM. We have a 'Presidential' election in all but name and methodology, whether you're fed up with it not.
