Mr Prime Minister

The chancellor became the Prime minister today of the kingdom.
Gordan Brown has been at the spotlight of all new labour strategic decisions for over a decade and as promised by Tony Blair in the controversial settlement over dinner(courtesy Mr Trescott) arguibly the most powerfull chancellor ever in British hstory.

Though Iraq war was a blunder and distroyed Blair's legacy(Unlike Mrs Thatcher who was made by Folklands war) Tony undoubtably was a brilliant Orator. The man knew the nerves of the media and even though called them the federal beast in his end days was very comfortable even with the most difficult of questions by the uncapped UK media.

Brown on the other hand looks very serious and does not have the charm and charisma of Tony , control freak as he is known has been trying really hard to change his image in public eye by floating the change coin and rolling in the torreys in his side of politics but till now the policy has failed with noone relly looking keen to join his government.
Also as most British according to BBC polls(68%) think there should be a re election it is debatable if this is the best time for Brown to take the seat which has come after a 13 year wait since 1994 when he gave away his chance to make tony blair the leader of labour(then in opposition).
Though noone would doubt his efforts in the last 13 years to transform labour (now called new labour) and his ideas and intellect which has seen UK grow strenghth by strenght as an economy in the last decade unlike the rough times it had seen previously.The only queation is his ability beyond economics.
The very first address to the public as the Prime Minister today(From 10 downing street) wasalso a little nervous and he looked overwhelmed by the fact that he eventually has got the top job. His words though definately rehersed lacked the power and genuineness which Blair's speech had at his last round of Prime Ministers questions at the house of common's. The standing applause meant that the spotlight was still at the man going out rather than the man coming In.
The new job as the Middle east envoy also stamped the fact that Tony though has given his last salute to British politics will still be national news, a powerful figure on global stage and midst the war 'against terrorism'( ! ).
