If Gordon Brown's Party Has No Confidence In His Ability To Be Prime Minister, Why Should The People Of North Durham?

The Labour Party really is in an unholy mess.

Once again, senior figures in the Party have made clear that they have absolutely no confidence in Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. Once again, Cabinet Members have made clear in private (according to multiple sources) that they have no confidence in Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. Once again, Cabinet Ministers have shown that they do not have guts to 'resolve' the issue of the Labour leadership.

So we have a Prime Minister without the confidence of his party and we have a Cabinet who have been shown, time and time again, to be devoid of guts - all 'off the record' talk and no action.

The people of North Durham will be right to ask one very straightforward question after todays events - 'If his own Party don't even have confidence in Gordon Brown's ability as Prime Minister, then why on earth should we?'
