I wish people would stop going on about the fact that Brown was not elected.
That is not the system that we have in this country. Fair enough, you can argue that people do vote for the leader in reality, but in fact, we vote for a party. Not one person. When you vote for a party, you accept that the leader might change.
When we voted for Labour, Tony Blair was in charge, Brown was Chancellor. So if we want to re-vote when Blair stands down, do we also re-vote if someone leaves as Home Secretary? What about if Brown had stepped down as Chancellor? Because that was what we voted for, a package?
No! You vote for the party, not the leader. Of course, in this day, the leader has become this selling point as we seem to pretend that we move towards Presidential style politics, but we DON'T have that and I wish poeple would stop blithering on about it.
