Questioning Gordon Brown's right to be Britain's prime minister?

Gordon Brown has a political right to be Prime Minister because his party allowed him to become leader but he does not have a moral right to assume this position. No one in the UK voted for a government with him as the leader and who would have voted for such a monster to be the leader of our country? His only saving grace would have been to call an early election and let the people vote on his policies but he bottled out of doing this because the polls were not in his favour. Because of our ludicrous UK political system this unelected tyrant can now stay unopposed in power for another two years. Who knows how much more damage he will inflict on our country before he is done.

For ten years in partnership with Tony Blair he has squandered taxpayers money on illegal wars, tents on the Thames and cut price sales of the nations gold. He has poured billions into a health service which still doesn't work and allowed uncontrolled immigration into a country which is already overcrowded. His avaricious taxation of pension funds has robbed thousands of the pensions they should have received after a lifetime of work. His latest spending spree has seen 26 billion pounds poured into the failing Northern Rock bank with very little prospect of any significant repayment. This is the man who loses no opportunity to tell us what an excellent chancellor he has been for the last ten years. Judge him by his record as chancellor and see if this qualifies him to be a Prime Minister, I think not.

His plans for the future are yet more taxation. Road pricing to be introduced with spy in the sky satellites checking and charging for every mile traveled by every car in the country, a scheme to reduce traffic congestion by pricing Mr average off the road. Fuel tax has already increased with UK petrol at more than five pounds(ten dollars) per gallon. A million acres of our limited countryside to be lost forever to build three million new houses demanded by the uncontrolled immigration hordes. Prisoners being released from jail early because the prisons are overcrowded even though crime is spiraling out of control. Nobody has a moral right to make these kind of changes without a mandate from the people.

Gordon Brown became Prime Minister by sneaking in through the back door. He could never have achieved Prime Minister status in any other way. He does not have the courage to let the nation choose. Without the backing and endorsement of the nation it is non ethical to cling to power and impose changes that have not been voted upon. Gordon Brown has not earned the right to govern and he should face an election or go in disgrace.
