Brown to quit as Labour leader
Gordon Brown has said he is stepping down as Labour Party leader.
Mr Brown, prime minister since 2007, said he wanted a successor to be in place by the time of the party's conference in September.
Mr Brown announced his intention to quit in a statement in Downing St in which he also said his party was to start formal talks with the Lib Dems.
The Conservatives won the most seats and most votes in the election and have been in talks with the Lib Dems.
Story from BBC NEWS:

He's only doing it because the Lib Dems wont make a pact with Labour with him in charge. Hope they still make a pact with the Conservatives. All we need is the two losing parties running the country under another unelected Prime Minister, probably some twat like Harriet Harman.

frankly why would any party want to work with him, would be signing their oqwn death cert, surely if he were though capable of running the country labour would have won a majority, lets face it Gordon it is over, time to write a book

I can think of several examples of Prime Ministers who weren't re-elected. Despite unbridled success.

 

[Springsteen]

Good news, although it makes a possible deal between labour/Lib Dems interesting. David Milliband will be the next Leader I imagine.

Of course their party was elected with them as Prime Minister in the first place.

You don't elect a prime minister though. Never have. That's the point.

I dunno, think Labour would have done better this time round without Brown in charge.

Maybe. Probably. People turned against him pretty quick. He's not got the charm or slime Blair had to get out of hot water.

Cameron got the most seats yes, but despite facing against the most unpopular labour government there has been for 50 years, he couldn't even get a majority. He's already failed the easiest task lol, get a majority in a country that's broadly conservative. :24:

 

[Ryder]

What'll happen now?

Lol! Love how Labour supporters live in lala land. Conservatives gained 97 seats and Labour lost 91 seats yet Cameron is the failure.:24:

If he'd come out and preached the usual bollocks about no EU, tough on immigration, etc etc.

He'd have won long ago.

But he just went around the country, trying to reinvent the conservative party (which apparantly consists of pushing any 35+ white people out of the way of tv cameras and pushing blacks and asians to the front) and waxing lyrical about "Big society"

And despite the fact nobody knowing what "Big society" is, some people still went out and voted for him, but a lot didn't. After such an unpopular Labour government, Cameron can only be viewed as a failure I'm afraid. Especially since the Lib Dem's lost seats also.

I suppose you'll be telling me me that McCain won the USA presidential election, Man Utd won the Premiership and black is white, next? :24:

Good counter point.

Now that's sarcasm.
