He's even worse than Tony Blair was, which I didn't think was possible. It's not just that he sucks up to the rich while paying lip service to social equality; I just don't feel that he deserves to be our prime minister on any level. He doesn't seem to have any ideas about how to take the country forward and he really feels like someone who is just sitting around waiting for the end.

I think some people are starting to feel sorry for him. Politicians are always doomed when people start to pity them, just ask John Major.

A loser.

But he's also got to carry the can for quite a bit of stuff which actually happened under Tony Blair.

The real irony is that if Tony manages to become head of Europe (as he seems to want) he'll go back to being Gordon's boss again.

he's stoopid at being PM, and none of the other MPs respect him because he was "heir to the throne".

He never generated headlines as chancellor (except for budget ones where the consensus seems to be that he increased the tax burden). Now he's only generating bad headlines.

Ideally govmt should get reformed significantly, but that's not likely as teh system props itself up (no matter how much it's listing to the side)

Not seen anybody as useless as he is as a prime minister. Even his prowess at No 11 is shrouded in doubt, as he covered up the huge debts he had ammassed whislt acting as financial controller.

An unelected leader who has ridden roughshod over the interests of the British people. Tony Blair was the lowest form of pond life, or so I thought, but life surprises at times, I knew Brown would be bad for Britain, but I never imagined just how cluesless he would prove to be.
He is the primeminister who took away the right of the British people to self determination, Who as chanchelor steered Britain into todays economic crisis. And has taken Blairs policy of creating a facist state to new exremes.
He and his cabinet disgust me, they are an utter disgrase as they have completely abandoned every ideal that labour has ever stood for.
Far from decreasing poverty and homelesness in Britain this government and Brown have put us in a position which is likely to create greater poverty, unemployment and homelessness than at any point since the 80s and it could be worse.
Then there is the issue of the illegal wars ehich in every manner were wrong and entered into on the basis of lies in the full knowledge that they were lying and acting against the wishes of the British people.
Data loss, invasion of privacy, looney taxation policys, persecution of those who are genuinely ill in this country.... the list is endless, Brown and his cabinet (along with Blair) should be prosecuted as the criminals they are imho.

He's been through his own personal heartache, which makes me sympathetic towards him. I think he's a decent bloke. People expect too much from the Government anyway. We're all greedy hyenas, and will never be satisfied. The government policies in general are a natural response to a burgeoning population expecting more and more every year but wanting to pay out less. I'm sick of all the moaning in the papers, to be honest. It doesn't matter who's in government; they've all been disasters in their own way.

In his dealings with other countries he appears to be as good a diplomat as any PM, of any nation, I have seen.

Anything else would be conjecture because I would have to rely upon what the media reports about him which no doubt has a considerable bias.

It is probably a measure of how bad he is that a weak and cynical opposition is actually looking good against him.

Agree with much of the above but I do think he deserves a lot of credit for the work he has done as Chancellor and as PM re developing countries. He's worked to reduce the debt burden, to increase our aid, to improve the international trading arrangements. Yes there is a lot more to be done, but until he came along western politicians were long on sentiment and short on action. He's redressed that significantly and deserves credit for doing so.
