Frankly, Brown's opinions have as much relevance as Bush's. Although still obviously in charge of his faculties, the worldview he and the Labour Party espouse increasingly reveals itself to be so far from the needs and requirements of the British people that I fail to understand how he can continue in office.

The only difficulty is that the Tories are even further away. There is, from my perspective, a genuine air of unreality about British politics right now.
