Subject: RE: BS: Brown as PM---Legal or Not ??
Bubblyrat,
He was, after all, elected , as an MP, in SCOTLAND, which now has its own Scottish Parliament. In view of this, how can he possibly be entitled to govern ENGLISH people
By similar reasoning, what right can an MP elected for an English (or Welsh or Irish) constituency have to govern us all.
In fact, we are governed by a consensus of the 600+ MPs taken from all areas of the UK. Gordon Brown (or, at the moment Tony Blair) is just the person that the parliamentary party with the greatest current clout want to be a figurehead for Parliament.

CHEERS
