I'm going, I'm going, gone, er well not until 27th June
Finally we all have a date when our leader will leave and hand over to someone else. 27th June. I may just figure out how to do a time line for the main events in the Blair years using the tool below by then.
So how come in our democracy, our leader can hand over to another leader who wasn't the leader at the time of the last election? OK its not the leader we vote for directly, but the party. That said, it is the leader that tends to influence the way in which we vote the most I suspect.
I hope that Gordon Brown is challenged, and who ever wins calls a general election right away... What are the chances of that do you think? Seems to me to be the right thing to do.

There isnt going to be a challenge to Gordon and there's no way in a million years he'll call a general election quickly.
I thought that if a MP died (or quit I suppose) then it had to go to the voters .. then why not the same with a PM? Suppose it's not very workable .. I mean a PM simply wouldn't go if it meant calling an election. The party wouldn't allow it. So you could end up with a PM that doesn't want to take an active and/or effective part in the job. Even more more likely you could end up with a party that doesn't want the leader in place and who knows what sort of problems that would create for government as a whole.
