Squatter at the 10 Downing Street

Who would ever think that a loser would still stick his butt to the 10 Downing? Well, sabi nga nila Delicadeza is not in the English word that’s why Gordon Brown is sticking like super glue in the 10 Downing Street. He called an election just to gain mandate since he is not an elected PM. Remember he just took over when Tony Blair stood down. He never expected that he’ll be defeated. Although David Cameron’s Conservative won over 300 seats, it’s not a majority win and he has to form a coalition with other party (Lib Dem).

Well, ito na nga kahit na ang kapal ng mukha ni Gordon Brown, we still have to give credit to him and to the rest of the candidates in the recently concluded UK elections. The election and its result were fought through platforms of government. There we’re no mud sliding just like what AbNoynoy Aquino and LP camp are doing. Well, there’s a little mud sliding particularly on the Eton background of David Cameron but that’s all. The results were also given within 24 hours. Sadly, it’s not a majority win for Conservative and Gordon Brown still want to force himself into power. It was said that Lib Dem wouldn’t want anything to do with Gordon Brown since he is toxic. He isn’t particularly as charismatic as Tony Blair and is always seen frowning. If he wants to save his face, he should at least resign as the head of the Labor party. He failed in the election and staying as their leader is a biggest disservice to his party mates and to the labor party in general.

The BBC said that the election result created the hung parliament in over 30 years. If the government could be formed, it was given only at least 8 months to sustain. Nevertheless, this is the way Parliamentary democracy is done in Britain. I hope that in the future the Philippines will become a Parliamentary Democracy. Since 1987, there was no majority president elected. The winner is usually a minority president could not even muster 50% win. He will forever be defending his position for fear of power grab. The only solution to the current problem of our country particularly in electing a minority president is through a Constitutional Change!
