Default The Next Prime Minister

To give you something to do to while away the Friday afternoon...

...who do you think will be the next Prime Minister?

Vote, or add your own selection and why?

Sadly I think it will be Gordon Brown. There is a distinct lack of decent opposition. Cameron is just weak and unoriginal.

As New Labour wont call an election before Blair steps down, it has to be Brown.

GB will get his dream job owing to a lack of competition...

I clicked for who I'd like to be the next PM which is different to who I think will be the next PM - Unfortunately Gordon Brown will no doubt be the next one

The next PM (assuming TB sticks to his word) will be a Labour MP. Whether it is Brown or not depends on whether somebody is prepared to challenge him for the leadership. There is quite a gathering within the Labour Party who don't want Brown in, they are referred to as ABG (Anyone But Gordon) and seem to be backing Reid ATM.

I'd prefer John Reid to GB. I think the guy actually has some degree of integrity about him, shame it's another bloody Scott!!

Why is it going to be Brown? Prescott is the deputy PM so surely he should get the job automatically until the next election.

When Blair stands down there will be a leadership contest, bit like the Tories had when Howard stands down. GB has been "groomed" to be the next PM and will most likely be so unless somebody stands against him and wins. I doubt Prescott would put himself forward.

Where's the Nick Griffin option then?

Of course - you left him out deliberately because you knew he would be the run away winner...

William Hague; if only he and his party had some real policies, rather than some eco-friendly-focus-group-bandwagon-bollocks.

John Reid ............. by a country mile - thats who I WANT it to be ... he comes across very well.

The Tories ain't got a cat-in-hells chance once they actually put some Policy together!

Gordon Brown of course. He will be PM next September.

As for the next GE - I have a suspicion the Tories might sneak it - Maybe even a hung parliament.

Brown.

He thoroughly deserves to be in office when his magic economy goes pear shaped.

Be unfair for the Tories or anyone else to get in and take the rap for it.

Pete (Brant),

you make a good point - I did intend the poll to be the next democratically elected Prime Minister

I agree with your second point - I think Cameron will be beat Brown although that PPB last night with his fake webcam was dreadful.

Agree with that choice

And bring in Clinton as an adviser. Yes I know but at least he would get away from his diabolical wife for a year or so.......
