Petition for Brown to resign – don’t sign it

I just found this petition for Gordon Brown to resign as PM. It was linked to by the English Democrats, who seem to speak a lot of sense.

I was about to sign it when I realised it was essential not to do so: we must do everything we can to keep Brown in power to make it a certainty that Labour get voted out at the next general election. It is only in the interests of Labour supporters to get Brown out now, and I’m certainly not one of them.

So don’t sign this petition – the presence of Gordon Brown is our greatest asset. The longer he stays with Labour the greater will the majority hopefully be for UKIP, the party for whom I and many others will probably vote.

Another reason not to sign the petition, of course, is that the government simply ignores such expressions of public opinion, as is reflected for example by their limp sentencing policy, open-door immigration policy, religious appeasement policy,  overly-generous welfare policy and by their very weak replies to all other petitions.
