I'm certainly glad to see the back of Blair, but it's sad that he's gone by choice rather than through shame, or by being hounded out of office.
Is Brown preferable? Yes, although that's not exactly saying much; in the final analysis, the horrendous Blair is being replaced by someone who has stood side-by-side with Blair, and anyone who has done that doesn't deserve a public position of any type as far as I'm concerned, let alone the leadership.
So it's impossible to say it's good because it's still labour. Labour might be 'old' labour. It might be 'old' labour dressed uBut it is still labour. So I still dislike it intensely.
Brown has the capability not to be utterly immoral and reviolting though. I suppose.
