Question for any British people?

Question

How much do you like Gordon Brown?did you like tony blair more?

I'm afraid i don't know much about either and i'm wondering what the public opinion is of Brown

Answer 1

Yeah they made Blair have to resing then cause thieir party was still in power Brown was the person to take over from blair. the thing is mr brown could of let the public vote for parliment but he refused saying he needed more time to show us what he was about lol more like e didnt wana be one of the shortest serving MPs. That made many not like him then they lost millions of personal details finding it on trains and shiit then the credit crunch started and we blaiming him I dunno if its his fault or ot. Then there was some c**p about a 10p tax and lots of people were having a BF about that but I dunno what it is .

Basically Brown is a t**t who never had his name on a ballet and refused us a chance to not vote for him when we could not we have to wait till the next time when Ill be 18 by then and id vote for someone else

Answer 2

I don't like politicians. I like cider,

Answer 3

People over here think he is boring...he also has a poor public image at the moment due to things like the failling economy (he used to be the chancellor) Also the fact that he has not actually been elected mean that his position of PM is under constant threat/speculation.

apart from cosmetic things there are not really any differences between brown and blair and as such i have no real prefference over either

Answer 4

Being English I find them to be a disgrace and hope I never see the like again. No two men have ever in history been able to destroy a nation the way these imbeciles have.

Answer 5

Tony blair was a real person with feelings, yeah he made some wrong decisions but who doesn't?

I have to say i dont like gordon brown one bit

To the person slating the uk, suck out your granny

Answer 6

I don't like Blair and feel very sorry for Brown as he has had to come in and try to clean up the mess Blair left behind! I personally can not wait until Cameron get in!

Answer 7

he is very unpopular. people blame him for messing up our economy but i don't think he will ever be as disliked as blair. but then again, at least blair had some charisma..

Answer 8

i don't really like either of them to be honest but it could be a whole lot worse. it's only natural to make mistakes so i can't really hold it against them for being human. Brown has got off to a bad start but he might be able to turn it around if he tries hard enough, but Blair was just awful. i'd rather have Brown as prime minister instead of Blair.

Answer 9

brown wasn't elected so therefore i think not many ppl like him, he's kind of prime minister by default, wheras blair was elected by the public, so I'd say blair is more favourable than brown, although it could be worse, we could have bush!

Answer 10

I am sorry that there appear to be a number of younger people who couldn't be bothered to take your question seriously. As with all politics everyone has there own stance so if you would like mine as a lifelong Socialist here it is: Tony Blair may have been the leader of the Labour party but his policies were often more right wing than Margaret Thatcher. I believe he lied to the British people and should have been impeached for lying to parliament over the Iraq war. Gordon Brown was left with a legacy from Tony Blair that would have been impossible to reverse even if he wanted to (Juries out on that one) The labour party is likely to tear itself apart in the next short while as the two opposing factions within the party (Blairite-Brownite) jocky for position. For me i think Brown is the better more honourable man but as Britain is heading for a recession, people lose their jobs and their houses, he makes a convenient scapegoat. I think that what is more important is who the American people choose for their next president as believe it or not this will effect Britain and Europe far more than whether we end up with Brown or Cameron. Ps. What a previous contributor asked " He wasnt even elected" shows his political ignorance.  The British vote for individual MPs who are members of a political party which then chooses its leader, not like the American system where one votes for a president.

Answer 11

My mum doesn't like tony blair and she thinks that he left a load of c**p for the next prime minister (gordon brown) but thats just her opinion

Answer 12

How can anyone like him ..... I don't like Cameron much better i could just imagine him with his upper class s****. Friends joking over a pint about how weak the British people are  

Answer 13

They are both able men who were  misguided by the Party Team and never learnt how to say NO .  

Answer 14

I don't like neither Brown, nor Blaire...the queen should take theyr places!!!!!!

Answer 15

Im from England and i dont really care much about the goverment all i no is there both c**p at there job

Answer 16

Aaaaaw

to be honest i feel a bit sorry for him

whatever he does just makes him look even more like an idiot

he never stays awake at meetings, his nails are bitten right down to the bone, he even looks nervous when hes on holiday!

the media has completely turned on him...they take photos of him with the most gormless looks on his face, when hes fallen asleep (!) etc...

as a result his public image is terrible, hes seen as being very cold, boring and nervous, as opposed to tony blair who was always really confident even though he sometimes let us down...its like fire and ice really

hes being blamed for our current pre-recession as he used to be chancellor, funny because this time last year when he WAS chancellor we all liked him

oh how the tables have turned lol

i think he made huge mistakes, like the 10p tax thing, and the polls are saying that the labour party would do better without him

and he was always going to be on thin ice anyway as he more or less "inherited" the position from tony blair

looks like were not going to be seeing much more of him!

Answer 17

Tbh, i dont take any interest in politics.
