Re: Should a heavyweight take on Brown?
[quote="arden forester"]It's being said that Gordon Brown may not face a proper contest. If this is so, then we all face a general election with a Scot virtually carpetbagging his way to Downing street. On the other hand many may vote against him because they don't want this to happen.
Would Labour do better with Alan Johnson or some other from England? :?[/quote
Brown will comfortably win the Labour Party leadership election. He may face a semi-serious challenge from another Blairite, and/or a challenge from the Old Labour hard left. Either way he will win, but Labour's grip on power then will be dependent upon a strong chancellor taking his old job, and we now how seriously Labour take the chancellor's position
