What Can Brown Do For You?

Resign, apparently.

The UK prime minister resigned Tuesday paving the way for his successor after last week's inconclusive general election.


Gordon Brown said: "My resignation as leader of the Labour Party will take effect immediately."

He announced his intention outside 10 Downing Street -- the prime ministerial residence - before being driven to Buckingham Palace where he formally handed in his resignation to the queen.

Brown said he loved the job of prime minister not for pomp and ceremony, but "for its potential to make this country I love fairer, more tolerant, more green, more democratic, more prosperous and more just." 

Apparently the coalition between the Tories and Lib-Dems means Brown's centrist Labour Party is done.  Most likely this means Tory head David Cameron will be your new UK PM.

Or it could mean Gordo is running as fast as he can away from Greek Fire, too.
