I opened the national newspapers today (18th February) to see Gordon Brown wearing that fake cheesy grin he has lately developed. He was doing the Prime Ministerial thing of visiting the armed forces.
How any self-respecting English person can even think of accepting him as Prime Minister is beyond my comprehension. The contempt with which the Labour Party is evidently going to treat us is beyond belief.
Nowadays, following Devolution, 85% of the job he aspires to is merely to run England. Yet he will have no mandate from anyone to do that.
His Scottish constituents send him to Westminster solely to look after Tax, Defence, Foreign Affairs and a few international matters. They elect some else to deal with things like Health, Education, Transport and Law & Order in the Scottish Parliament.
Therefore he will not have been elected by either the people of England or Scotland to talk or act over all these internal matters that affect the English peoples’ daily lives.
Labour might just as well appoint Jacques Chirac to the post; after all he would have no lesser electoral validity to run England.
