Is Gordon Brown any different to Robert Mugabe?

Question

As nobody voted him in either

Answer 1

Oh wow - has he got Cameron and that other one in fear of their lives?  Is he calling an election in which he is the only candidate and brutally beating anyone who does not vote for him?  That would be news.

But no.

Answer 2

Gordon Brown is white, Scottish, has one false eye, and doesn't slaughter thousands of his own people.

Mugabe is none of the above.

Answer 3

And the dead opposition supporters are? No  they are very different.

Answer 4

What a ridiculous statement . Robert Mugabe is a brutal dictator that has murdered and bullied to stay in power.

Answer 5

Gordon Brown has not brutalized the British citizens - yet.

Gordon Brown has not sent hit squads out to keep us all in order - yet

Gordon Brown does not have the backbone to lead from the front  - unlikely to find said backbone.

Answer 6

lol!  Yeah and hes also sucking the country dry!

Answer 7

of course there is a difference,,RM wipes out and kills the opposition while GB has for twelve years taxed the public into submission with one tax after another causing record numbers of house repossesions and people committing suicide as they go under financially,thereby ensuring inflation at ,i think,about 14pc,,while holding wages down to 2 and 1/2 per cent,he thinks,MPS exempted of course they get to vote in their own pay rises,,lectures us on wasting food and goes to the G8 Food summit where has 24 course meals in one day,,,how much of that was not eaten,they then have a 3 month holiday each year and on parliament re convening,the first order of the day is to vote themselves another annual pay increase,the law should be changed if a PM resigns a general election should be automatic

Answer 8

He is white.

Answer 9

He is different from RM GB DOESN'T murder and intimidate the voters. If certain people dislike the UK, they can always go back to their native countries, instead of demeaning the one who educates, houses and feeds them.

Answer 10

um he was voted in by his constituents at the last election.

you don't vote for the leader of the party in elections you vote for who you want to be your MP and hope that the party you want to govern gets the most mps to form a government.

Answer 11

Yes, mugabe was elected, even if it was fraudulent. brown wasn't.

Answer 12

1.) no one voted for Gordon Brown, he was handed power by Tony Blair and no one wanted Brown as P.M, thus an unelected Prime Minister

2.) we has stripped the country away from democracy by not calling a general election when there was one planned, thus he is trying to hold on to power.

When people voted for Labour in 2005 (all 36% of them), they voted for the whole package, including the promise of Tony Blair staying around for a full third term. Two years in, and Tony Blair has resigned, leaving Labour with a Prime Minister who has not gained the backing of the British public. What does that make Mr. Brown?

Nothing short of a dictator.

Brown is also trying to harm/kill the poor by stripping the 10p tax and making the poor more worse off with other taxes

I would say there are similarities

Answer 13

The differences are largely superficial and cosmetic; the consequences and substance very similar !!
