What about Blair. Do you not like him because he was educated in Scotland?
What if someone was elected (For example Tony Blair) and they decided to step down after a year and were replaced by someone else (ie. Gordon Brown)
Would you want a new election to replace the Scotsman? |
As much as it pains me to say this, I think an English PM would be preferrable. He (or she) is unlikely to be influenced by nationalistic principles unless they were for the UK as a whole. As for Blair I see him as being far more English than Scottish.
A new election if Brown took over? I think that's asking a bit much. However if Labour are to stay they I definately would not want Gordon Brown as PM.
It's for similar reasons that I believe Labour were never going to be more than also-rans with Kinnock in control.
