How much dislike of gordon Brown is media generated and how much really deserved? In the sense that probably all politcians can be made to look like Gordon Brown is presented...

So do we really lack a center-left economic policy in England as always or more like a centered economic (not wingnut) policy is missing?

It is hard to believe that there will be no differences with the Conservatives.. I think they are going to be much much much much incredible more and more awful for the lower middle-classes in England..

And from far away it seems to me that no matter what gordon Brown tries, and spetially if he tries left-wing policies, he is going to be doomed by the powers that be.

but I look it from far far away.

SO maybe I am wrong

A pleasure

Oh it's deserved. Britain was sick of blairism and we thought (hoped) that brown would be different. It now turns out that it wasn't blair's policies he hated (although he criticised them at the time), it was only Blair himself. Blair went, but the policies stayed.

Also brown isn't a leader, he has no vision he sells, he's a backroom detail person and just looks out of his depth in this role. When things go wrong his first response is to scuttle back to his lair to sulk, leaving underlings to face the music.

Yes, there is a difference between Labour and conservative. Brown has social improvement policies that do target some genuine issues. But the major plank of his ideas, economic policy is identical to the tories. While that remains true, his social policies invariably fail cos they're inadequate to deal with the problems economic policy creates.  So, effectively there's no difference as the end result is the same. We just get to hell more quickly on the tory bus.
