Well, I'm a Labour party member...
...(yes, I know, it's more sentimental than anything else these days)...

...and I didn't get to vote for GB either. He hasn't been elected to be Labour leader, and - as you rightly point out - as largest single party (until May) Labour's leader is normally appointed as PM by Her Maj. The PM role is in the gift of Brenda, but the Labour leadership is in the gift of the party membership and we didn't get to vote on it because the rest of the Parliamentary party are spineless tossers who don't want to be associated with the likely loss of the 2010 General Election. Because us party members are all suddenly going to vote for Harriet Sodding Harman after we're down to less than 50 MPs, her having had nothing at all to do with the shameful incompetence and business brown-nosing that have characterised the last thirteen years.

Now this
I can understand. The Labour party should have had a say in their next leader. But it's still aparty decision, not a public one.

Yeah

I despise Gordon Brown but I *loathe* Mandy. If I had two bullets, a gun and was in a locked room with Mandy and Thatcher I think I'd shoot Mandy - twice.

Yeah
Sneaky fucker.

I think the best idea is to take off and nuke him from space. Only way to be sure.
