Who Is Next In Line

Gordon Brown waited ten years for the keys to Number 10. Now that he is confirmed as heir apparent there are those who are tempted to look back at what might have been. But the question that needles some minds is who will get the new prime minister's promise to quit. Or were the Blair - Brown vows a one off. Could that be the question? But let's say it isn't. Then the big question could be; who is next in line? Let’s see; Reed and Prescott have already opted to quit rather than wait, Blears is still to show the kind of metal that would prove she could be an iron lady and poor McDonnell who pledged to give labour back its voice in politics will find it hard to ever again launch any serious challenge for the keys to Number 10.

I think Brown is therefore in the clear, at least for now. There is just nobody for him to promise to share the spoils of prime minister-ship with. And that could also mean the days of hand-me down prime ministers may be at an end.
So then back to the main question around town and on the air; was Blair wrong to keep his promise with Brown? Or was he right to break the full term promise he made with everybody else?

Think about that and see what you make of this. As Cameron prepares to go head to head with Brown he has run into a road block from within. Some Party faithful are just not taking kindly to what they see as his hot and cold antics regarding grammar schools. Cameron faces Tory revolt, is the headline I see.
