"So who's our Prime Minister now?"

Mr Brown did it at Number 10, with the lead pipe =O

Crap, I thought it was Colonel Mustard. Sorry what were we talking about again?

I can just remember a little bit of the Grey Man. We've being going over all the PMs and are again I think so I have quite a good knowledge. :-)

I think Brown will be a much stronger character than Major, after all Major had a soft and friendly approach whereas Brown, whereas Brown will more likely get his way however he can.

I agree. I suppose given his history, he might be a better choice than Davey-Boy.

I wonder who'll taken over his old job.

Apparently our next Chancellor is most likely to be Alistair Darling, he who has massive eyebrows and as Transport Minister, was responsible for implementing Speed Cameras that have had no real impact on anything, seeingly not even the Government's coffers. I'd have thought Ed Balls was more likely, having been Treasury Minister and one of Brown's supporters, but I'm none too knowledgable on this sort of thing, and I think he's relatively inexperienced.

Margaret Beckett's out of the Cabinet, and I've heard that it's likely that Jack Straw will return to the FCO post, and of course as deputy leader, Prescott has been replaced with Harriett Harman, who as far as I know is also a rampant leftie.

Brown is a very intelligent man, but to be honest I can't see him as being that popular a PM, due to his dourness and being very likely to raise taxes even further. Decent Chancellors don't always make great Prime Minsiters: look at Major's weaknesses. And by that, I don't just mean Norman Lamont.

He doesn't have enough brain cells to realise he's hopeless.
