I suspect that none would land on HM's desk. To be more effective and emphasise the scale of the (protest?/ campaign?) it would be necessary for copies of all such letters to go to one or more national newspapers, especially those with the largest circulations. <BR/><BR/>Eventually somebody might notice a trend...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-17052859214495940352009-03-06T15:29:00.000+00:002009-03-06T15:29:00.000+00:00I'm not looking for Brown to be sacked - I'm looki...I'm not looking for Brown to be sacked - I'm looking for Parliament to be dissolved to allow a General Election, not another internal Labour leadership election. <BR/><BR/>Blair was validly elected; I disagreed with his policies, but accepted that he had the right to govern. Brown had - at best - an interim right which has now expired imho. My missive to HM would be focussed on the non-existence of any democratic mandate.patentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602962323262055007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-74722687562352785432009-03-06T14:34:00.000+00:002009-03-06T14:34:00.000+00:00Not so fast.

First was Maggie, possibly the best post-war PM so far, then the Tory party fell out and ousted her and replaced her with John. John was sensible but unimpressive, capable but uninspiring. He did a good job but the people didn't appreciated him and they threw him out. Tony was charismatic but ultimately destructive. <BR/><BR/>People itched to get rid of him, but look who we got instead! Gordon has been a disaster. Now we are begging him to step down, but the only realistic successors are Master Miliband or Miss Harman.<BR/><BR/>All I am saying is: be careful what you wish for.Old BEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974090439936326476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-29057092038994188262009-03-06T14:26:00.000+00:002009-03-06T14:26:00.000+00:00Maybe this is the long-awaited campaign we could c...Maybe this is the long-awaited campaign we could champion through House of Comments?
