British Premier Struggles to Repaint Blotched Image


In a recent New York Times article Prime Minister Gordon Browns image was discussed, and his need and failure to create a more positive image of himself. Despite Mr. Browns immediate popularity after becoming Prime Minister his public image has lead to harsh accusations and his falling behind in the polls by his main rival and leader of the Conservatives, David Cameron. The Labour Party is attempting to revamp his image making him seem like a more down to earth "regular guy" attempting to juxtapose the Conservatives. This shows the differences of class in Great Briton, its largest social Cleavage. Recently The Observer portrayed Brown as "paranoid, bullying...chaotic" this shows the deep divide of the Newspapers and the people they pander to, that is the papers in Great Briton identify with a party openly. This article goes as far to say something about popularity of Gordon is based on his charisma. Interesting how public opinion has shifted from experience to wanting the young new leader, Cameron.
