Poll: Should Gordon Brown be Prime Minister?
Gordon Brown, aka the Ignorant Jock, is being set up as the replacement Prime Minister when Traitor Blair finally does the decent thing and resigns.
However, now that Scotland and Wales have their own Parliament and Assembly, the British government spends around 80% of its time dealing with matters that affect only England.
It is for this reason that an MP with a Scottish constituency, unelected by and unaccountable to the English should not be allowed to head up the British government until England has its own Parliament with at least equal powers to that of Scotland.
As things stand, Scottish (and to a lesser extent, Welsh) MP's routinely debate and vote on legislation that affects English people only. In fact, it is quite rare for a bill to come before Parliament where a Scottish MP's constituents will actually be affected. There have been a number of bills passed by the British government since our masters gained their devolved governments that only affect English people and that a majority of English MP's have rejected. These bills have only been passed because Scottish and Welsh MP's (usually whipped by the Labour party to vote in favour of party policy) have voted on that bill even though it doesn't affect their own constituents.
This is wrong and undemocratic. If Gordon Brown were to take the leadership of the Labour Party and the therefore the country, the people of England will have to suffer minority rule by an unelected and unaccountable Prime Minister until the next election. Gordon Brown as Prime Minister would spend a single-figure percentage of his time in office dealing with matters that affect his own constituents and about 4/5ths of his time dealing with English-only legislation.
In my opinion, Gordon Brown must never be the British Prime Minister while England has no Parliament of its own.
