The Ongar is dead, long live the Ongar!
Some might say that we're entering a bright new era of government as Gordon Brown steps in (without contest) to take the helm of our Country and the Labour Party.
For me, and my cynical mind, I doubt much will change. Apparently Brown is much less pro-Euro than Blair was, and maybe there will be some differences in approach here. For the most part however I cannot see much benefit to the country. Also the way in which the handover has happened automatically, Brown's coronation appearing to be merely a 'fix', simply does not inspire confidence in the government. The chances of exciting and improved policy change seem also pretty slight.
To quote a Victorian bride-to-be's saying "To change the name, but not the letter, is a change for the worse, and not the better."
