I%26#039;ve often changed my mind- always it annoys people, but sometimes it has most definitely been for the best. I don%26#039;t think Gordon %26#039;bottled it%26#039;, he just doesn%26#039;t want any chance of risking the country to the Conservative party just yet. I say good for you, Gorden, thanks for being rightly cautious.|||It was a daft idea in the first place, who wants to go down in the record books as the shortest serving PM of our times?|||Weakness|||i think it could be classed as either it depends on the situation.|||Its a womans prerogative.|||i would have to say weakness and uncertainty
I never make a decision until i have fully assessed it
In my opinion he panicked as he knows the Conservatives may well have succeeded in a general election|||Because of the large lead Labour had in the polls Browns spin team convinced the feeble minded twit to call a early election...............then the most horrific thing happened.a large lead became overnight ,level in the polls.........BETTER to be here for two years than not at all said feeble minded Brown........no election.|||Gordon Brown, like all the political clowns in that circus they call a government, is a loser. He cares nothing for the people and is only interested in lineing his own pockets for as long as he can. All political parties are the same.|||It%26#039;s Media hype, Brown never, in any way indicated that he was thinking of calling an election, the media supposed that he would, because the polls were going his way, and the Tories, at their conference indicated that they thought he should, then, when he says he has no intention, he%26#039;s accused of %26quot;bottling it%26quot;, what a load of tosh.
He will decide when to go to the country, not (call me) Dave, and he will do it when he%26#039;s ready.|||it a bit of both, in this case i understand that he wants to serve his time and prove himself to be frank i would never of voted him in, but then i didn%26#039;t vote for tony but sometimes the boy did good and sometime well...Gordon was never going to let a election happen.lets wait and judge him on what he does.. not sure about offstead taking over regulation of children%26#039;s services in social service though can see the pros%26#039;s of education merging but hey let wait and see...|||Gordon has done the right thing, he hasn%26#039;t changed his mind,he is doing what he was going to do all the time, that%26#039;s carry on for another 2 years or more.|||A sign of weakness.|||Strength, he has not had long enough in power as a Prime minister to make the influence he needs to stay in power.|||I don%26#039;t think for a moment that Gordon took the interests of the country into consideration at all. He thought he could win an election, then realised he might have a fight on his hands, and possibly lose power after a very short period in office. He is well known for disappearing when the going gets rough, let%26#039;s face it.|||strength.
