What makes you "right" to lead, Gordon?

Via DK, I see our Home Secretary is doing her clenched-teeth best to stand behind the Gorgon:

"Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has become the latest cabinet minister to come to Gordon Brown's defence, amid continuing speculation about his leadership.

She said he was "right" for the country..."

Nothing bugs me more than these sort of inane comments. We are supposed to live in a democracy - therefore the only person "right" for leading this country is whoever we say is.

And seeing as the Gorgon has NEVER received any democratic mandate to govern in the prime ministerial capacity, and seeing as every opinion poll cements clearer and clearer that the public has practically zero confidence in him, he is, quite evidently, NOT right for the country.

And, personally, that Jacqui Smith says he is "right" merely confirms, for the billionth time, that he is not.

Gorgon, call an election. End this humiliating farce. Currently the leading petition on YOUR website, beating the nearest opposition by over 20,000 signatures, is the one calling for your resignation. If you don't have the decency to do that, then, at the very least, call an election. Don't give us another year of this. Don't bring this country to a total of THREE YEARS under your unmandated government's corrupt, deaf, shallow, ludicrously incompetent and utterly embarrassing rule.

Don't.
