Who else would you have?

Surely if he was a principled Conservative he'd be speaking out against Cameron's changing of the party?

What do you think he'd look like on the International front? He looks more like a cheeky cherub than a statesman IMO.

Gordon Brown lacks charm. His Scottishness coupled with an SNP administration will could lead to a West Lothian Question crisis gripping the UK.
This country is a far better place now than it was 10 or 20 years ago. I will give Brown a chance but I fear he will tax heavily and spend too much on dodgy public service iniatives.
Its is a shame that the Lib Dems didn't take the olive branch offered to their peers.

does that affect your view on whether scotland should seek independance? what is the orange position on independance?
is orangism linked to loyalism?
