I did, still do, and always will oppose British membership of the euro. 2 was my assessment of Hague's position as a political analyst. The problem with the Tory Party during the whole 1997-2005 period was that it was perceived as very right wing and anti-Europe.

Gordon Brown DOES have a mandate to govern. We elect MPs, not Prime ministers, and he is the leader of the largest party in the House of Commons, chosen by the MPs of that party (maybe not technically "elected" but nominated by, and therefore chosen by, the vast majority of them).

You cannot say that Brown is anything like Callaghan. And anyway, you were a child in the Callaghan era. Many of us adults found him a bumptious little twit, far removed from the original Labour mould.<BR/><BR/>2) Gordon Brown has no mandate to govern.
