It is a good idea for Gordon Brown to resign however it should be done with grace and skill. The Labour party appear to have little imagination or a vision of what the country needs from a political party.

The only positive product from this airing of MPs' greed and indifference - the fall out will provide some entertainment for us Hubdubbers and chance to gain some points.

is the question Will Gordon Brown resign or be forced from office by the end of 2009? or is it Will Gordon Brown resign and be forced from office by the end of 2009? the answers are also a bit vague. could you be more clear. there is no point in making another question, just type it here.
