Well it's really the media and the power hungry Tories calling for it. All the politicians are the guilty ones in our eyes after this expenses fiasco.<br />Cameron and his cronies have been behaving like vultures over the Labour carcas.<br />But I would agree with Andrew that it was Brown who rocked the Blair Labour Party boat.<br /><br />It was interesting though what Paddy Ashdown said on Chan 4 News the other day. He claimed that in a private chat with Blair some time back that he called for an openess in Government by passing certain ideas so as not to have caused this sad episode in British politics (the current Expense scandal). <br />Apparently Blair replied to Paddy "I would but I just cant get it past Gordon."<br />Amazing that the power one can achieve being PrimeMinister, yet Blair feared Brown throughout his entire Premiership.<br />No wonder Cameron wants Brown to stay, whereas new Labour leadership blood would send the Tories back into the doldrums for yet another 4 years. <br /><br />But the Alan Sugar appointment is just rediculous and desperate. We dont need showbiz politics.<br /><br />John.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-90570819431598555252009-06-05T11:17:37.240+01:002009-06-05T11:17:37.240+01:00North West Hampshire - Andover North goes from LD ...North West Hampshire - Andover North goes from LD to Conservative with a 400 majority. <br />Party on Pam!Theresenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-74127290786392012082009-06-05T11:13:42.523+01:002009-06-05T11:13:42.523+01:00See if you can mention UKIP becoming the nasty par...See if you can mention UKIP becoming the nasty party - http://scarymarytory.blogspot.com/2009/06/nasty-party.htmlScary Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608730934046862405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-72531451354053407332009-06-05T09:30:37.142+01:002009-06-05T09:30:37.142+01:00Of course this means that Ed Balls will never be C...Of course this means that Ed Balls will never be Chancellor of the Exchequer.
