Martin Bright has no Confidence in Her Majesty’s Government, Either
On the downside there is the democratic deficit. I know Peter Mandelson is treated as a demi-god by Progress, but there is a serious problem with him becoming the de facto deputy Prime Minister. We know have an unelected PM and an unelected deputy.
Although I still think Mandelson could turn out to be Labour’s Sarah Palin, his return to government has been impressive. But my concern for some time has been that Gordon Brown does not have democratic instincts.
Indeed he doesn’t. Our Prime Minister believes it’s his God-given right to rule us until he absolutely must call an election. “An unelected PM and an unelected deputy” is all you needed to say. The Tories need to table a motion of no confidence, and force a debate on this ‘democratic deficit’.
