Voicing my approval of Gordon Brown!

I am not partial to politics and my ambitions are far beyond ever becoming one but I have certain sympathy for the man in charge of the government at the present time since, by all comparatives, he has shown a remarkable talent for finance during his time as the Chancellor of the Exchequer and an ardent drive to lead this country to a better times soon. Moreover, it annoys me an awful lot when people in the Labour Party unfairly find faults with Gordon's style of government while belittling his handling the wheel of the nation's economy. Many members of the Party have even voiced the advent of a worthy successor to Gordon Brown which I find it to be a ludicrous manifestation of logic since I personally believe that there is no tailor made substitute for the experience and know-how of Gordon Brown. Those sentiments really spell the words of mutineers, rats and sinking ship since it makes no sense to leave the reins of an untamed horse in the hands of an inexperienced rider as it might tumble over its rider and break not only the back of the rider but the skeleton of the party as a whole. William Hague - former Tory Party leader — comes to mind for he was far less experienced in politics issues than the man who damped his bid to become Prime Minister of this country nearly a decade ago. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that when the truth is delivered half cooked speaks reality for no one as I am fully aware that the era of being able to spare money to buy unnecessary things has come to a halt for many for the advent of an imminent period of economic difficulty is speedily looming in the horizon and as it is moving stealthily around the world as if searching for preys to launch an assault on those who are ill-prepared to deal with it and those who have taken the health of the economy of their respective countries for granted. Still, it is fair to say that over the last 15 years the United Kingdom society under Labour has changed an awful lot for the better. However very little has changed particularly where attitudes are concerned. Many unresolved issues about social inequalities are continuing being a handicap for the have not in our society. Indeed, the line that determine the boundaries between working-class and middle-class is getting wider and wider in terms of economical grounds. Certainly, changes have been extremely slow in regard to purchasing power as the former tend to be paid less than the latter and as a result of that distinct differences in lifestyles and attitudes have come into existence. Nevertheless, I have been led to believe that the present administration is doing all it can to bridge the gap that exist between rich and poor through education and the encouragement of private enterprises so that the latter can compete in equal terms with the former. By all comparatives it would be a fine thing if it manages to pull that off otherwise it would be a bucket full of trouble and it would be fair to surmise that so long as that gap exists there would be a possibility that new conflicts would emerge. Having said, patience in abundance is required and people must listen to their pearls of wisdom to help the present administration to fulfil its promises as being chirpy and cheerful are good stimulants for optimism.
