Okay, I'll put my hands up. I've been as guilty as almost every other liberal leftist in the country in the past month, temporarily seduced by the charms of the Liberal Democrats and their suddenly-plausible third way.
No longer, kids. Watch the video above, and I implore you to comment if you've ever seen a more credible politician. I've got a book of 'speeches that changed the world', and for sheer passion and honesty there are very few to match GB at his finest - there is certainly nobody else involved in this election who can deliver a speech of that quality. For all that Gordon Brown is media-shy, dour and occasionally prone to gurning, he is the most talented politician to have entered Whitehall in several generations - his record as Chancellor speaks for itself, and he managed to keep the country afloat through the worst recession in eighty years despite inheriting his office practically on the eve of the financial collapse.
Politicians of Gordon Brown's stock come along perhaps two or three times in a century. He deserves to be given the mandate which he has so richly earned - the risk of voting Lib Dem and ending up Tory is simply too great.
Vote Labour. In fact - fuck our evident lack of a presidential system - vote Gordon Brown. Do it.
