Expenses are the MPs own faults, not Brown's, they abused a system and thought it was fine. I don't bill my company for my food or rent so why should these people bill us for it? It makes it worse as there is a recession so more people have less money at the moment and those who we are meant to have trust in and help us through are doing dirty deads like any of the discredited bankers.
Brown's actions on the economy I think will pan out, UK markets are already recovering slightly, £ is getting stronger (although apparently this is bad for British exports...must have been proper crap before we had the recession yet more people had jobs... :? ). Problem is, it whether it needs him at the helm of it all.
His problem I think is he didn't take a stand to his Cabinate and their expenses. They have as much gilt as any MP yet they seems to just stay in powerful positions. He needed to fire 1 or 2 to show authority. He didn't, they quit and his power is now comprimised.
On Conservatives, they are conservative still somewhat left due to the way our government works, this means their policies are similar in nature to Labours. Some have even been taken by Labour later and made a reality. Although, I'm not much into parties policies. I vote Monster Raving Loony.
Hmm, pie.
