No Labour election, perhaps a General one?

Well, as we all expected Gordon Brown will be handed the keys to No. 10 Downing Street on the 27th June, after his coronation from the Labour Party.  Whilst some argue this is a natural transference of power it shows that the Labour Party in Parliament is out of touch with its grassroots members – many of which were hoping for a leadership contest.

But moving on from the Labour Party’s lack of election, now attention turns to the question of a General Election. Gordon Brown has no electoral mandate. Tony Blair stated throughout the last general election campaign, and at other points throughout his second term as PM, that he would serve a full third term as Prime Minister. Surely we, the people of this country deserve the chance to have our say on whether or not we want Gordon Brown as our Prime Minister?

Perhaps the Labour Party should realise that we no longer live under the rule of a monarchy, and coronations of our political leaders went out with the civil war.
