No they want to screw over universities and students doing proper degrees as well.
SNP are a joke surely splitting up the union is a type of treason?
I hate the SNP with a passion and the fact that the scum of glasgow east have voted for them shows what kind of people support them.
(I'm not talking about the unelected gibbering buffoon inside No.10)
I don't like the man but I think you will find he is fairly and democratically elected to represent his constituents just as Tony Blair was before him. We don't directly elect the priminister he or she is merely the chosen leader of the party that gets a majority of seats in the house. Maybe if people actually understood this and elected their local MP based on who was best suited to deal with the local issues rather than blindly following a political alegiance then this country would be a better place.
Back on topic I hope this is the final nail in Mr Browns cofin but looking at the likely replacments I can't see anything getting better soon, this era of professional politicians we live in is truly disturbing none of them seem to give a damn about the people it's all about the fame and the money.
Actually, Brown wasn't really elected leader of the Labour party either...

When everyone refuses to stand to give an honest opportunity to the party, then he certainly is 'unelected'.
Yes and no.
But I would not call a dictatorship a government in that sense. It is in true definition a government, but not in what most people would say a government should be, i.e. governed by the people for the people.
He doesn't need to be elected leader of the labour party, they have a procedure to select a leader it could be a giant pillow fight it still wouldn't make is position in number 10 unelected. The good people of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath elected him to be their MP that is the only election he needs to go through.
If you don't like the way the labour party chooses it's leader, don't vote for them. If you don't agree with the election process to be leader of his country run for government and change it.

Not especially.
Labour seems to have really upset a lot of Glasgow East though or they are being rather reactionary as that is a hefty swing. As I've said before I'm not particularly in favour of independence but I think that Scotland could and would survive regardless, the repercussions would be huge for the rest of the UK as well if it did happen.
Why cant scottish yards get work? and barrow already have the astute class to build.
There main policy is that they are not labour, and for a lot of people thats enough.
Couldnt agree with you more.
Looks like we are getting rid of brown one bit at a time, the only problem with this is now i have to listen to the smug gloating of the pompous ass alex salmond
Are you saying that GB has a mandate to run the country in the same way that Blair did during his time in office?
Remember that under the current, whipped party system we have, MP's are only 'allowed' to vote along party lines, and those party lines are what really gets people elected. Brown has no mandate from the people for his policies, because (with the exceptions of the clearly lost by-elections), no-one has been able to vote for their MP under the 'Brown's labour' mandate.
Really shows how unpopular Labour is. They keep making daft policies and saying stupid things, almost as if they have NO idea or realization of the fact that these things actually lose them votes! It's like they totally forget that doing these idiotic policies, legislation, political correctness, etc makes people vote for somebody and thus, kicking them out.
Labour has to be the biggest bunch of idiots I've ever seen. It's like they think they can stay another term when it's blatantly obvious they're not going to, and they are oblivious to it. It's pretty sad.

Unfortunately that wouldn't work. Due to the party whip system your are voting for a party and not an individual, someone who will vote against the best interests of their constituents if it is along party lines to do so. The party whip system is simply incompatible with our current method of electing MPs.
