| [Iran Press TV Latest] The political life of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is hanging by a thread as European and local elections open in the United Kingdom. More than 2,300 seats are in play in the local council's election that began Thursday morning. The result could lead to Brown being ousted by his own party, as the Labour party took a sudden nosedive in recent opinion poll ratings after public outrage over an expenses scandal. Labour Parliamentarians have long been unhappy with Brown's performance, blaming him for the crippling credit crunch, the flaws in the tax system and the budget crisis. A letter is currently being circulated by Labour back benchers to request the Prime Minister's early resignation before the general elections. Business Secretary Lord Mandelson, however, has urged Labour lawmakers to remain loyal to Brown. "Don't please, through your actions, make it any worse for the Labour Party than for the other parties who have all got to come to grips with this crisis affecting British politics," said Mandelson. |

| #2 The UK is so screwed up - they even made that pansy-waste Peter Mandelson a Lord. Small independent parties, some of which are bordering on fascism are keeping the Tories from a rout. But the handwriting is on Brownie's forehead not the wall and he is a goner. He just refuses to believe it. |
