The Last Thing The North East Needs Is Five More Years Of Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown has promised to serve a 'full term' in the unlikely event that he wins the next election.

Can the country really put up with another five years of this? I think not.

Does the country really want a Prime Minister in Gordon Brown whose party have lost faith in him. Do they really want a Prime Minister whose director of election strategy and Cabinet Minister said about him before the bottled election in 2007:

"We have spent 10 years working with this guy, and we don’t actually like him. 'We have always thought that the longer the British public had to get to know him, the less they would like him as well."

He was of course right with that prediction.

Another five years of Brown would be catastrophic for the country and catastrophic for the North East.

Indeed, his vow to serve a "full term" sounds more like a threat than a promise.
