Well I'm no friend of Brown or any of his ilk, but there is nothing which states that a general election should be called if the PM stands down. it has happened a few times notably When Wilson stood down in the seventies, Thatcher in the nineties and now Blair, but if Brown had been forced out a few months ago, it would have been right in my eyes to hold an election, replacing two leaders in the same Parliament would have been one two far
