My Prime Minister resigned on Tuesday

I sat in my living room on a Tuesday evening generally lazing about. I had my Television on BBC 1, had the laptop on and suddenly my evening was interrupted. Why?? The Prime Minister was going to make a statement. So what I wondered? And then the bombshell was dropped. My prime minister was resigning. Chei!! This was major.

Why?? That was the question running through my head. Only the day before he had come out with a statement to say he would step down in September; so what happened in 24hrs? All these questions swarmed through my head as dear Gordon started to speak and he spoke. Gordon Brown talked about life in office, about how much he loved the job but he felt it was time to leave. Brown thanked his cabinet, our beloved Labour party and above all his wife Sarah Brown and their two boys. He paid tribute to the incoming government and the great British people. All in all Gordon Brown gave one of his best speeches ever.

As he and his wife and children took their final walk down Downing Street leaving house number 10, it was the final one as Prime Minister. He takes a drive just up the road to tell Her Majesty the Queen that he is resigning and within 20mins he officially ceased to become the premier. And we know the rest. The Queen then summons the leader of the opposition party and asks if he would form a New Government and he agrees thereby making David Cameron the new PM.

As i write this now i think about the last three years of Gordon Brown in power. A Prime Minister that was never elected by the people. Believe you me I wasn’t too excited when I found out he would be assuming office after Tony Blair but hey what can you do?? Mr Brown didn’t exactly have a smooth time in office as Prime Minister. Was it actually his fault that we had a Global recession? Was it his fault that unemployment is at its highest?? Was it his fault that all the things wrong that could happen to the UK happened?? Well I don’t know and even if I knew the answers to these questions I shan’t answer them.

We know many where against Mr Brown. Many didn’t think he was capable even inside the Labour party there was so much ruckus it almost split the party but he hung on. And when he finally called for the elections the opposition did not stop. After weeks of intense campaigning and live television debates Gordon hung on. From his awkward smiles and his funny hand positioning to his biggest gaff the Bigot Gate saga; Mr Brown and the Labour Party still trudged on till the last day.

So Gordon Brown leaves the position of prime minister the second most important job of his life to go back to the first job; being a husband and a father. I wish him well, the very best because I believe he is a great man. He was an excellent Chancellor of the Exchequer, one of the very best the Nation has had but above all, fault all you like he was a Prime Minister Of The United Kingdom elected or not.
