This country isnt as you put it "obsessed" its just that the vast majority of people feel that he is dragging this country down a hole thats gonna take some getting out of.
The bloke isnt and elected priminister so he doesnt deserve to be where he is.

Ok, But two things to that:
First of all, I am not saying he is a great PM. All I am saying is that he does not have malicious intent in mind, at least I see no good reason to suspect that. It's quite easy to separate his personality and the politics from this. Stepping down is something that he properly does not want to do because he might believe he can do good (also, I suspect few would want to give up that position so quickly)
Also, My point about obsession is that this public attitude is not something Unique to Brown, or Blair. It's extends to most, of not all, politicians and also other people who serve the public. Such as police and to a lesser extent medical professionals. It's just a disrespect to authority, public service and often times people who have achieved something.
