When former Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited Prime Minister Starmer at Number 10 after a historic defeat, we thought he was a visit from a leader who loved his country and his party. We assumed Brown was there to persuade Starmer to step down, thinking first of his country and then of the future of the party he led. But we were wrong.
There are almost no politicians who put their country before their personal interests. Brown thanked Starmer for accepting his advisory role and left the residence. Gordon Brown, who failed to benefit his country while he was Prime Minister and went down in history as one of the most hated leaders, hastily came to London to collect the last remnants of the sinking ship.
Like snatching goods from a burning building, he thought about collecting his share of the spoils and, as a former leader who thought of himself rather than his country, proved why the Labour Party remained in opposition for decades. This country faces enormous difficulties because of incompetent leaders…
Unfortunately, good leaders are no longer emerging in this country. There are politicians who love themselves far more than their party and their country. Because of them, talented and patriotic people prefer to stay away from politics. Besides, no party has the political cadres to protect talented people.
In conclusion, Gordon Brown thought of himself, not his country. He thought of himself, not his party. He thought of himself, not the people.
