Brown in crisis

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is in trouble. Not only is he having to contend with an economic downturn but now his own party is turning against him. First came Foreign Secretary David Miliband's indirect call in a newspaper article for Brown to be replaced, and now a letter by former Prime Minister Tony Blair harshly criticising Brown's policies has been made public. What does Europe's press think the future holds for the British head of government?

La Vanguardia - Hiszpania

The Spanish daily La Vanguardia comments on the British Prime Minister's dwindling popularity: "The crisis that the UK is facing is depriving Gordon Brown of his political capital. The economic downturn - with rising fuel prices, higher food costs, the mortgage crisis, problems with banks, to mention just a few of the problems - has eaten away at his reputation as a good manager of money, which up to now has compensated for his lack of charisma and leadership qualities. It is an imported crisis but the British blame him for it, as the recent elections ... and opinion polls have shown. He is already seen as the most unpopular prime minister since the Second World War. ... Paradoxically, it is the economy that could enable him to remain at the head of the party, because getting rid of him would mean new elections that in the current crisis would no doubt end in a debacle."

Dnevnik - Słowenia

The daily Dnevnik speculates that the publishing of the letter written by former Prime Minister Tony Blair in the midst of the current inner-party struggle is no mere coincidence: "This civil war was triggered on the one hand by the fear of losing the next elections and on the other by the conviction that David Cameron and the Conservative Party can indeed be defeated if the Labour Party can only get rid of Gordon Brown. Now former Prime Minister Tony Blair has intervened in this war. He is angry because Brown rejected his strategy yet failed to replace it with a new one. ... Although yesterday three members of the Brown government reiterated their support, Blair's criticism has dealt him a harsh blow. ... Is it just a coincidence that Blair's criticism has come to light now that it has become obvious that David Miliband is aiming for the leadership?" (04/08/2008)

Der Tagesspiegel - Niemcy

For Der Tagesspiegel, the current woes of the Labour Party are also due to mistakes committed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair: "Even if Blair and his cronies would like to see history written that way, Brown is not solely responsible for the desperate plight of the Labour Party which has almost no prospect of winning the upcoming elections. Blair accomplished much in his day. He overcame rigid ideology and led his party into the political centre. But in his high-handedness the man who described Britain as the 'best country in the world' also contributed to Labour's downfall. He favoured external advisors over his cabinet, and failed to encourage new blood in his party. This could only result in a bumbling successor." (04/08/2008)

The Times - Wielka Brytania

The former conservative cabinet minister Michael Portillo warns in The Sunday Times against deposing Gordon Brown: "David Miliband's egotistical bid to oust the prime minister could destroy the government's remaining credibility, which will hardly help Britain or Labour through the economic crisis. If Brown is dumped, it could lead to divisions in the Labour party deep enough to exclude it from office for a decade or more. Whether Brown survives or is knifed by his colleagues, the Tories stand to gain. ... By not sacking him, the prime minister appears weak and vacillating. Had Blair dared to dismiss his ever-troublesome chancellor he might still be in power today and Brown would never have had to prove his inadequacy. ... if Miliband succeeds in toppling Brown, Labour can anticipate almost a generation of feuding. ... if Labour ruptures once more, then the Conservatives could look forward not just to an election win but also to another era of political supremacy."
