Tony Blair has gone at last
 and now Brown, another Blairite!

Tory Blair, oh sorry Tony Blair has gone at last. Now we are left with Gordon Brown. He became United Kingdom’s prime minister on 27th of June 2007. He Mentioned word “change” eight times in his Downing Street speech. Will he be different from Blair?

 

Gordon Brown has been supporting Tony Blair’s policies for a decade, and now he is willing to change. What change?

The battle in the parliament between him and the conservative’s leader David Cameron is clear. They are fighting each other on who will carry on Blair’s policies at his best! They are both supporting Blairites foreign policies, even though they are leaders of two different political parties!

 

The couple Bush and Blair have failed in their foreign policies; as they claimed to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan to create democracy, unfortunately both countries have ended up in dictatorships and bureaucracy.

Now Brown is cycling his foreign policies on the same path as Blair’s.

Carrying on the war in Iraq in the name of democracy that resulted in death of “650, 000” (The Guardian) Iraqis that’s one in every forty Iraqis up to the end of 2006, also the war in Afghanistan...

Finishing the process of privatising the NHS (National Health Service) that Thatcher was planning for, Blair went half way through and Brown to finish it... While Brown was the chancellor of exchequer for past Ten years and two months.100,000 civil services job cuts where taken place, and attacks on the pensions.

 

These were New Labour’s policies that Brown has been supporting and participating in for ten years and so on. What change shall we expect from him? Other than more job cuts and privatisation, but yes change in policies for big businesses that’s certain.

No wonder the Daily Mail thinks (Gordon Brown could be the next truly great prime minister) yes sure for the fat cats! This is how a daily newspaper that has supported fascism in Britain in the past “Oswald Mosley and the black shirts” views the new prime minister.

 

New Labour now is attacking the working class and young people in this country. So how do they expect workers votes? In the next election while workers are facing job cuts and privatisation, how do they expect young people’s votes? While they are on minimum wage, and how do they expect student’s votes when they are struggling to work and pay their college and university fees?

 

New labour has betrayed the working class and young people in this country. There is no guarantee Brown will win the next election. Gone those days when Labour had over

1 million active members around the country campaigning and supporting the party, which was the party of the working class at the time, before it came in the hands of the Blairites!

 

Brown has already asked the liberal democrats to join him; I think he is already scared to start with his new job! He will ask the conservatives two later because he is indicating for them in his foreign policies.

 

I think this is a sign that show us the next government in England will be a coalition government. Power will be shared between three main political parties labour, liberal democrats and the conservatives. Fair trade not surprising, because it’s clear there’ isn’t any differences between policies of these parties, who are representing big businesses. Therefore in the next government, they will unite to attack the workers, young people and students more than it’s expected ever!
