“No Mandate” Brown

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Gordon Brown – or “No Mandate” Brown as I will refer to him from now on – is unopposed as Leader of the Labour Party and will be the next Prime Minister.

I know I might sound like an old scratched record but I really can’t say this often enough – Gordon Brown has no mandate.

He doesn’t just lack a mandate as Prime Minister because he wasn’t elected with the intention of him being Prime Minister, he lacks a mandate on the vast majority of legislation because his constituents in Scotland only elected him on reserved matters.

Today the papers are full of his pledge to improve the “British” education system – there is no “British” education system, it is a devolved matter.  Gordon Brown only has a say on the English education system but who in Scotland voted for him for his policies on the English education system?  Last week he decided to base his whole leadership manifesto on education and health but again, who in Scotland voted for him for his policies on the English health and education systems?

The same goes for every other devolved matter in Scotland – transport, environment, police, to name but a few – who in Scotland voted for Gordon Brown for his policies on these English matters?

Gordon Brown has no democratic mandate to govern England.  No MP elected outside of England has the right to be Prime Minister until England has a devolved government of its own.  It is unconstitutional and undemocratic for a Prime Minister to have responsibility for policies in England over which he or she has no say in their own constituency.

As far as I’m concerned, when Gordon Brown takes office the country is without a leader or legitimate government.

In fact, I feel so strongly about this I have just emailed the following to the Treasury:

Dear Mr Brown,

Following your unopposed appointment as Leader of the Labour Party I feel compelled to write to you thus:

You pledge to improve the “British” education system but there is no “British” education system, it is a devolved matter. You only have a say on the English education system but who in Scotland voted for you for your policies on the English education system? You decided to base your leadership manifesto on education and health but again, who in Scotland voted for you for your policies on the English health and education systems?

The same goes for every other devolved matter in Scotland – transport, environment, police, to name but a few – who in Scotland voted for you for your policies on these English matters?

No MP elected outside of England has the right to be Prime Minister until England has a devolved government of its own. It is unconstitutional and undemocratic for a Prime Minister to have responsibility for policies in England over which he or she has no say in their own constituency.

As far as I’m concerned, when you take office the country is without a leader or legitimate government.

This email will undoubtedly be intercepted by a civil servant before you have a chance to read it but make no mistake, your appointment as Prime Minister will fuel the English nationalism and national identity that you despise and fear and I will not be alone in refusing to recognise the legitimacy of you as Prime Minister or that of your cabinet as our government.

    Our fellow “brits” have no sympathy for our plight, they’ve been devolved now and couldn’t care less. They hate the English anyway but for me they have a point, any Englishman/woman who votes for the anti-English Liebour party is a traitor to his/her people and Nation.
    Everything they have done since they got in has been to hasten the demise of England as a Nation, carving it up into 9 euro regions, calling it the regions or referring to it as the UK, flooding it with millions of impoverished immigrants, some of the worlds most useless people
    with devastating effect on health education and social service provision and driving down labour costs by providing cheap labour from Eastern Europe thereby making rich businesses richer and lowering the standard of living.
    I’ll just be dismissed as a racist now, because they’ve taken
    away our freedoms, destroyed our institutions and our way of life.
    And don’t get me onto the subject of “English” liebour MP’s being the majority in Parliament, they are the worst traitors of all, they have voted for every single anti-English act this demented Marxist Communist totalitarian Soviet Stalinist regime has done , they might as well be from Mars.
