As a Gordon Brown supporter I am delighted to put this link on the sidebar. Hat tip to Kerron for pointing this out, and where he also has written a good blog piece on why Brown should be the next Prime Minister. In particular where he says:
"Under Gordon we have seen record employment levels (and record low unemployment), a stable yet growing economy, a national minimum wage, an increase in maternity leave and the introduction of paternity leave, help to the most needy in society, increase in aid to the poorest overseas, and investment in the public services that was so lacking under the Tories – amongst other things. (I could go on, but I don’t want to bore you!)
"And what do we have as the major criticism of Gordon from his critics from inside and outside the party? That he is a rather dour Scot, overly serious, with a forensic eye for detail, more bothered about the fine points of policy than how he comes across on TV. Well, I’m sorry, but those are exactly the sort of characteristics that I want from my politicians."

About time I got over here. I've heard a lot about you. Are you serious about Gordon? This is more than interesting and a refreshing change from the likes of me.
I am serious about Gordon. To put it simply, he has been a main part of the engine room of government for the past decade and it remains that we have a stable economy, plus more help for poorer people, plus more aid for the Third World, means that I think he has the experience and gravitas to be PM
