Depleted Labour party confusing electolate!!!

Winston Churchill once said,Politics is not like war because in war you are shot once and die forever - but in Politics you are shot once and you resurrect with a vengeance several times.This subjective statement epitomises Gordon Brown's plight and leadership squabbles that has of late haunted the labour party.I have always supported labour parties because they are historically based on the ethos of revolution.From Zambia's Fredrick Chiluba,Zimbabwe's Morgan Tsvangirai and South Africa's Peter Marais(even though his policies are a model of the repressive apartheid government).

The recent revolt and conspiracy against Gordon Brown leaves me wondering whether the ridiculed leader is heading for an involuntary exit from 10 downing street.Are we close to an internal regicide and mutiny?

Who manages the affairs of the labour party and who leads the labour party?Help me,i am confused.Leadership is a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.
And management is the act of getting people to accomplish desired goals.This leaves me in the horns of a dilemma and in such an intricate confused situation.Holding all other things constant - ceteris paribas in latin: whats the difference between leadership and management?Is Gordon Brown the leader who manages the affairs of the labour party or what?

It is so disturbing to come to the realisation that the Prime Minister - an individual with the royal prerogative can be savaged by the media and his own MPs alike - such is the democracy in England.This man surely hasn't been given enough time to settle.Remember that he inherited a war in Iraq and Afghanistan,the global economic melt down was looming and the image of Britain all over the world was not at its best.Yes he was chancellor,under Tony Blair but did he have a direct influence on the policies of his predecessor?Marginally yes but that's not the benchmark to judge his ultimate credentials.

Of course,David Cameron is convincing when he talks but i am not convinced.It was such a privilege to watch Alan Shearer on a BBC match of the day programme,giving opinions on how teams and coaches should be playing - what formation would suite which team?Now he is in the fray at New castle - for record sake,one draw and three defeats.

The labour party should resolve their internal squabbles without our knowledge.How will they expect us(if i was british) to vote for them if there is inhouse fighting.

It's time to put differences aside and plan how best to defeat the opposition.

Labour for life!

Good work - very discursive - but plenty of it. Thanks for putting in the link - but it needs to be a permanent link (ie with a line under it) so you need to either use the 'create link tool on blogger' or paste the following HTML code into your profile
