So Gordan Brown remains...

In what was billed as the 'make or break' parliamentary labour party, it seems as if the coup is over. The majority of MPs support Gordan Brown and some previous critics have been convinced...for now.

Gordan Brown simply *HAS* to follow through on his promises to listen more and change his style of leadership. Involve his colleagues and communicate more effectively to the electorate because I still believe that at the end of the day, the choice will be clear. If only the policies were communicated across more effectively to the electorate, I'm sure that there is still time to turn around Labour's fortunes.

Here's to hoping that a return to real politics is imminent. Back to tackling the economic crisis, clearing up MP expenses and pushing through reform concerning Parliament and its day-to-day governing. Furthermore, let's return and talk about housing, jobs, health care, pensions, international security, climate change and more. As politically charged these last few weeks have been, I hope the rebels, media and the public give Brown the benefit of the doubt (as will I) as right now, he is in a position of great opportunity. He's been internationally acclaimed now let's see what he can do on the national stage. I hope for everyone's sake that he can do an encore.

Sidenote: Ha ha, the Apprentice has obviously been sidelined (though good ol' Sugar's come in as an adviser) but was v. happy when Yasmina won! Kate was far too robotic...
