Brown must go

The sunday press as can be seen from the two posts below makes Gordon Brown.s continuance in office an impossibility. The leader of the Observer, linked here, makes that perfectly clear, it concludes as follows: As long as there is no evidence that donors received favours for their money, failure to register the gifts properly is a paltry piece of corruption: inept and shabby, but not a malicious subversion of the political system. But it leaves a pall of dishonesty and shiftiness over the government. It reinforces the impression in the public eye that giving money to parties is by definition sleazy, when it could be seen as a civic virtue. That does diminish democracy, albeit over time. It diminishes trust in Labour and Gordon Brown much faster.
