this puzzles me, as john prescott is the deputy p.m then why does he not become the prime minister when tony blair resigns,as with most countries eg usa etc,when a leader resigns the 2nd becomes the leader (richard nixon resigned to be replaced by gerald ford) so why does it go to gordon brown the former chancellor, this surely is not very democratic, can anyone shed any light on this as i think john precott would be the dogs b***ocks as prime minister.
