The Prime Minister told MPs during PMQs that he has no intention of quitting. He said that he intended to get on with the job of fixing the expenses scandal, and to get the country out of recession.
However Mr 'Fixit' does not seem to accept any responsibility of being in charge of the country whilst these problems actually occurred!
It could be said that the Labour government actually brought in changes to the expenses rules that have subsequently caused such problems! Even if he can claim that it was not his fault, he is in charge and his government did not understand the potential problems with the procedures in place.
The same for the recession. Brown goes on and on about how he can get the UK out of recession. But Brown should not have allowed it to go into recession in the first place! Even if the UK has been caught up in a global recession, we appear to extremely badly placed to cope with it. The UK can only spend money by borrowing it and of course we will have new and increased taxes over the next 20 years paying it all back!
Why cannot we have a Prime Minister who understands what is going on in the UK and the global financial systems, and is able to correct potential problems in advance of having a national crisis which has resulted in so harm to so many people.
I don't want a Prime Minister who only seems able to react to problems once they have occurred.
And, in most cases, I don't believe that the people get things wrong in the first place are the people who should then sort it out. If they couldn't get it right to start with then why should they be trusted to get it right once it had gone wrong!
They certainly shouldn't get any credit for not getting it right in the first place!
