PM Brown Still In Denial
June 8th 2009 18:12
The UKs unelected Prime Minister, with his cabinet of mostly unelected members seems to be in a world of his own. His party has just been hammered off the county council political map and the results of the European elections have been another rout, and yet he still insists he and his party are the only people who can drag the UK out of its financial and unemployment crisis.
In some areas of the country his party came last in the polls. The results show Labour dropping down to third place in the British contingent of the EU parliament, behind the relatively newly formed UKIP. They even lost a seat to the far right BNP and this is their worst showing in the polls for over 100 years.
And he still maintains he's the right man for the job.
His own party are now well and truly divided as they fight for their individual political careers; many know they don't have any chance in the next general election which must take place by 10th June next year. Some of his back-bench MPs are in open revolt whilst some leading MPs have even quit the cabinet.
He has handed out key, influential jobs to unelected peers, has given a job (and no doubt a peerage) to an unelected businessman (Alan Sugar), and has promoted a further two unelected people into high office (Glynis Kinnock MEP and Peter Mandelsohn). Mandelsohn is, in effect, the deputy Prime Minister.
The longer this non-democracy goes on, the worse will be the state of the UK. As for the Labour Party itself, where has the backbone gone? Where are the MPs with any guts to stand up and kick him out? No doubt they're all in hiding working out how much more money they can steal from the taxpayers before being booted out of office, hopefully never to return.
And yet Prime Minister (unelected) Brown, just like his MPs, thinks of himself first and country second.
