As Tony Blair’s reign comes to an end, Gordon Brown looks set fair to take over the premiership as the new Labour Party Leader. But will this be a false dawn for Gordon? Will Gordon’s arrival signal the beginning of the end for the Labour Governement? Gordon’s capacity and desire to succeed should not be underestimated And he will want to put is own mark on the job when he takes office. However, there can be little doubt that from here the Labour Government must be in terminal decline. Their local governement platform has been seriously eroded – Bridgnorth District now only has 1 Labour Councillor in Broseley. Gordon will have to pull something special out of the bag to halt that decline.
