Agree on this one: Maybe one should be looking for someone inspirational, even tho' this is not wartime (exept that there seem to be a lot of troops dying in Afghanistan ... 120 Canadians dead bringing the joys of Western Civilzation to the leading recipient of Canadian foreign aid ... but I won't dwell on this one
) ... from what I can see from here, your parliament needs people with vision, and the courage to make some very tough decisions, instead of worrying about second-hand cigarette smoke and hugging hoodies and crap like that. Brown comes across as limp and wishy washy ... maybe he is an intelligent guy with a lot of political skills, but he sure as hell aint inspiring. What you maybe need are people with charisma AND substance .... probably difficult to find in times when to act in the interests of Britain and the British people is seen as somehow, not quite politically correct .... and I'm sure as hell not talking BNP here; surely there must be politicians with dramatic, decisive policies, and the courage to act on them outside the ranks of the lunatic fringe.
