YouGov poll says “No Mandate”

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

A YouGov poll has found that most English and Scottish people believe that Gordon Brown has no mandate to govern the UK.

The poll found that on average only 33% of English people and 47% of Scots felt that Gordon Brown has a mandate to govern the country.

There is no indication as to why they feel that Gordon Brown has no mandate but there can be only to reasons really.  Firstly, he has never contested an election as leader of a party and potential prime minister and secondly, as Prime Minister of the Disunited Kingdom he is the de-facto First Minister of England but was elected in a Scottish constituency.
