After having endured two years of his “rule”, Labour insiders are finally starting to gather to bury Mr. Brown. He is an unelected leader, a tyrant in sheep’s clothing, it’s about time someone stood up to this woeful primacy.

To those that may not know us Brits, we apparently have an enlightened system where we vote a party into office, not a person. So collectively, the politically correct idiots of Labour have had nearly thirteen years of rule. It has not been pretty.

It seems un-British to have a system where we can’t vote for our leader. Moreover, when Blair was forced out, only Labour MPs got to vote on his replacement. Frankly, I think we should vote for a leader and a deputy. If the first goes, the second takes over and if the second goes, we have a general election, that seems fair.

Mr. Brown is not elected, except as an MP. This needs to stop now, even this close to an election (one has to be called before June). As the NY Times writes so succinctly:

In a radio interview, Ms. Hewitt, a former health secretary, declared: “This is not an attempted coup. It’s exactly what we say in the letter — it’s an attempt to get this matter sorted out once and for all.”

Precisely, it needs sorting out, as do our election and leadership laws.
