Ask the PM : Go on Gordon, Sell Yourself

[theresonly1stig]

YOUR NAMES TOSSER AND UP YOUR OWN ASS!

[GrandPrix55]

And Scottish nationalists used to brag that without England their economy can be "as good as the Irish Republic's."

All based on credit and collapsed in a crunch; they now vote the opposite.

Ireland used to think they could manage without the EU.

Dreamers, all.

[CarmelOblivion]

@GrandPrix55 Ireland have been in the EU since 1973

[GrandPrix55]

A Scot (bunch of Anglophobic leeches) can never be good for England.

Let alone an unelected miserable bastard like Broon.

Or grinning idiot Blair - another Scottish twat.

[kyleshut]

we have a say in this country aswell you ignorant prick

[GrandPrix55]

LOL. Typical response from you grunting barbarians. Uncouth like Glasgow.

After a decade of corrupt, incompetent Scots leeching off England, England needs to ensure you never have a say by forcing independence on you.

Then your industry-less Scottish "economy" will see you go the same was as the Irish one.

[kyleshut]

so do you just hate all scottish people we dont all throw spears and hit things you know just saying its a bit stereotyped

[CarmelOblivion]

@GrandPrix55 Last I checked, Parliament sits for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. If you want your own English Parliamant, that's another issue.

Little history lesson - it was a Scottish king who united our countries as they are today. If not for that act, we could well still be enemies to this day. As it stands, our peaceful union has been very beneficial to all within it. No union, no British Empire. Whoops, I meant English Empire. Sorry!

[davieNUFC]

yup do it gordon

[pinkcactuschannel]

yay! Manchester represent :D haha OT, sorry. I agree, he needs to win us over... He lost a lot of confidence when he set himself up to hold an election last year then just... Didn't.

[stocktakerbillybob]

haha answer = 'that's why we're spending so much on education' MUUUUHAAAHAAAA REALLY GORDON?!?!??!?!? REALLY??!?!?!?!?

Not as much as you're spending on pointless wars (and yes i'm including the drug war in that) or giving to businesses (which have made immoral stupid choices) to bail them out of trouble because you were such a bad (some would say crooked big business shill) money man for tony that our economy is basically ruined and one falling bank could ruin it all for everyone. asshole.

[stocktakerbillybob]

interesting question, we need an open and frank debate about the election process -our system in which you vote for a party is destined to be resistant to change, corrupt and chronically infiltrated by an old boys network -not that the American 'vote for the person' system necessarily gets better results...

The answer? Take the power away from the government, away from big business and wealthy elites and give it back to the people. It's time for a major change -copyright, prohibition,etc,etc

[GordonTheWanker]

Lol This guy is funny.

[AAGriffon]

I say to hell with corrupt Labour, Tories and Lib Dems, get the BNP in, to kick out the EU, eviscerate the corrupt Political class, and re-establish our island independence, then get the Libertarian Party in, to make a proper free and sustainable society.

[frankistine20]

You're a cutie and in Manchester too..we should hook up :P

[robmunro1989]

Furthermore, rises in fuel and house prices are going to be inevitable in the current international economic climate. It just so happens to be the case that this is happening whilst a Labour government is in power.

[robmunro1989]

The largest growth of any major industrial economy alongside a constant committment to social reform, peace in Northern Ireland, a National Minimum Wage, and a much improved (not perfect) NHS, are just some of the vast range of successful Labour policies.

[robmunro1989]

That was probably the worst piece of English I have ever seen. Right, all political careers end in failure. The numerous good Labour policies will always be overshadowed by the UK's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. All the same, there is no doubt in my mind that these last 10 years have been some of the most prosperous years this country has ever had.

[robmunro1989]

I think we all know that no matter who is PM, social, economic and political policy will remained unchanged, and in certain instances errors will occur. All political leaderships end in failure

[StanleyDonwood]

I think we all know by now that no matter who is PM, they're gonna make a mess of it.

Just who's gonna make the smallest one?

[skinny3600]

Does the PM actualy reply to these?

[GoldenPhoenix101]

WTF you friggin promoted vids keep showing up on my channel! Im warning you - fuck off!!

[stuart556]

well i vote bnp i dnt want immigrants using tax payers money i all this human rights crap we shud pull out of the eu asap

[Kiz2000]

Fuck off

[Blakie1984]

Jeremy Clarkson for PM with a tory party behind him thats what this nation needs

[Typhoon6666]

No. He needs his own party.

[racingsssnake]

why bother he will never fight a general election as pm

[frantic57744]

the economy was in tip top condition in 1997 n now look at the state of the place 10 years later n where,s tony blair???????????????????

yeah that,s right the war mongering has been has done a runner leaving us lot to pick up the pieces for the next 25years,,,,!!

[robmunro1989]

are u having a laugh? In 1997 GDP was 718.4 billion, in 2008 our GDP is 1.2 trillion. Britain has maintained an annual GDP growth of 3.1% under Labour. The pound is 33% stronger than it was in 1997. Don't forget Black Wednesday during Major's government. Lowest unemployment levels since the 1970s. Lowest interest rates this country as ever had. And a national minimum wage! Not only has Labour maintained a powerful economy, it has also provided revolutionary social reform. Do your research prick

[drfarenheight]

kiss my ass fool we,ll see how good these tossers r @ the next election minium wages don,t go far when house prices have tripled n quadrupled labour have fucked up royal!! social reform does that mean importing eastern european career criminals,,your in cuckoo land heads up people we a loon on the loose ROBMUNRO1989 he,s escaped lost his pills n there,s a full moon on the way!!!!

[robmunro1989]

please not insult your intelligence any further with such meaningless remarks

[Jooliver19]

drfarenheight i, as well as most of the english public, agree with you

[drfarenheight]

munro you must be deaf, blind and Dumb!! apart from the biggies like fuel n houses + food all screwed up the carnage carries all the way thru to teenage pregnancy IT,S UP UP UP!! here,s another little example for you prick David Blunkett= PCSO,s 600+ in the West Mids crimes officially solved = 0,, how,s that for a statistic you labour lovin wanker,,!!!!!!

[drfarenheight]

Oh yeah and GDP is tied into the goverment spend MMMMM do you remember all the wars in the last decade???????????? someone commits a crime or gets ill the gdp goes up!!! now i know you really are a dumb twat>> OUT GORDON OUT!!!!!!!!

[MFD1986]

Yes but the masses will generally vote for the leader they like the most, which is undoubtedly a factor for parties in electing their leader. Also, given the state the economy is in since Gordon skipped off to Number 10...a general election would be a great idea. Perhaps the Tories can have another crack. *crosses fingers and hopes*

[OptionallySavage]

AT this point I believe the Tories would be the lesser of two evils, sadly. This coming from a life-long right winger, mind. Still, they would be somewhat better than this 'New Labour' structure, considering the current government's mish-mash of political stances and general lack of direction. Not that the majority of the British public understand any of this anyway, but damned if they won't place their votes regardless. *Sigh* the state of modern society... thanks Tony!

[Transcendentality]

You don't vote a Prime Minister, you vote for a party to become Government. The party decides who is head of that party. Hence Gordon Brown. A change of Premier does not warrant a general election

[noisecape]

good points and well made.

although GB will just be a dick about it.

he's a corporate whore, serving the selfish interesting of the corporate elite.

[10Cnote]

Well said, but the only problem is that Gordon Brown will probably respond in the usual way that any polititcian would respond by telling us a load of Bulls*** and saying t all the crap that New Labour have been saying for the last ten years.

[RacheyRocker]

Holaa good video

:P

[paulisnatis]

You make a very pretty girl.

[thelouisfanclub]

are you messing

[paulisnatis]

what do you mean?

[jennythemusicmaker]

Wow.... I'd never be brave enough to do that. Here here!!!

[gerardway32]

I love your vids so much! Go Lady's Man Of YouTube! lol

[d1DaRkOnE]

This question is stupid. You claim to know how the political process works but you ask the question anyway?

[BeanStovi]

That comment just below was meant for that that yafudye.Anyway, are you going to that glasgow gathering thing? Just wanted to know.

[yafudye]

Hate to burst your bubble mate. But nobody gets to elect the Prime Minister (PM). Gordon Brown is no different from any other PM. He was elected as an MP by his constituency. He was made PM by his party. Of course it didn't help that there was no other contenders. But, under UK law he is as much a PM as any of the previous post-holders.

[rhymingwithoranges]

contrary to your belief, I am not living in a "bubble". I am simply asking him to tell us why he feels he should be running our country. I am perfectly aware of how our political system works thankyou very much.

[yafudye]

Then why bring up the point about the British people never having a say in the election of Gordon Brown as PM? I've heard similar sentiments expressed by others-including family and friends. They actually meant that they had never voted for him. None of my family/ friends live in Fife. And none of them happen to be Labour MPs.

You might think I'm being picky, but to my mind it demonstrates the lax attitude, we in this country have towards the political process.

[BeanStovi]

You seem to be in the sort of mood that if you met him in a bar you'd smash an ashtray in his face.Anyways I liked this viewpoint because it got me thinking - do you think if a PM resigns there should be some sort of public/in party vote to determine the next unlucky son of a bitch?

[rhymingwithoranges]

lol, not really, I'd just be overly confrontational. No ash trays involved.

[J700T]

What kind of Chinese Language are you speaking? e.g: Cantonese, Mandarin etc etc

[sollycardy98]

this is ridiculous. sell yourself? that's all he ever does! ask some real questions. Or do you enjoy it when politicians go on a rant about how good they are for the country and how much their going to bring when actually they're full of shit?

[luvthecanadian]

Nice!

^_^

and ditto to coollikeyodais: JAZZA FOR PM!

[Pogglie6]

I like this one the best - best question out of the 4.

Get tired of your videos? never.

Okay maybe a little.

[coollikeyodais]

Jazza for PM

[ticket2]

Hope PM Gordon replies to your question if you were in US and asked this of our current President you may get placed on a list by the CIA/SIS :)

[renard801]

And what makes you believe it is any different in the UK? Be afraid, be very afraid . . .

[ThirdDimensional]

Love your youtube banner jazza

[TexasBabey]

=)i love you again

[Cypresswhisker2]

This is a good idea. :)

[omgmt19]

are you sure this is the last question?

lol

good question btw

[Heila92]

Jazza ftw!

[alexflick]

yer, i agree. geeeeeet in jazzzzaaa!

[Laurbubble]

hehee! This is my favourite of the ask the pm videos! I really want him to respond to this!

[caramx]

haha i like this one.

he totally should answer this (:

x

[asmileyoucantwipeoff]

fiiinal question!

yeah, slightly (reference to subtitle)

i like this question the best, out of all five. i really hope he answers this one. though i don't live in the UK, it'd be interesting to see what he has to say for himself

[randomprodinc]

it'd be funny if he responds to this and tries to sell himself lol

Its ok Jazza im sure people arent bored of the intro phrase just yet :P

[hellotwat]

i think the fact that he didnt ask us in the first place makes people want him to not be prime minister more.

if there was ever an election now less people would vote for him than before..because its our contry he is running and it feels close to a dictatorship because of our lack of involvment that we have.

[yafudye]

Emotive bollocks. Nobody outside of the electorate in Gordon Brown's constituency gets to decide if he enters parliament. And his party decided that he become Prime Minister. So, if you live out with Fife, or you are not a Labour Member of Parliament, then you have no say in the matter anyway. So, don't call him a dictator. He's no more of a dictator than John Major. He wasn't 'elected' either.

And before anybody makes the accusation. I've never voted for New Labour, and I'm not fond of Gordon.

[BeanStovi]

Thanks for stating the obvious

[yafudye]

You're welcome.

[rugbypwns666]

yay for being cheeky to figures of authority :D

[SporkyD]

Great question Jazza! All ur questions have been really well thought out and excellently expressed!

[damianalexanderrr]

When I read the title, I immediately got an image of Gordan Brown in Fishnet stockings and thick makeup.

[tehb0ll0x]

*shudder*

[FlaminBeast]

Nail on the head. BTW, I've found Alice.

[krisjonesuk]

The public has never been able to elect a Prime Minister. The UK is a constitutional monarchy. It is up to the Queen to invite someone to be her Prime Minister and form a government. By convention she invites the leader of the party that has a majority in the Commons. It is up to that party to choose its leader. Gordon Brown stood for the Labour Party leadership and was elected unopposed.

Have any of these videos (all longer than 60 seconds) actually been submitted?

[oomboo2]

I'm mildly jealous that you have to ask your prime minister to sell himself. The only thing that the American presidential candidates do is try to sell themselves.

[shadowwatcher93]

bored of hearing this? hell yeah!

[BIGTomWellingFan]

lol...the introduction's always funny...even now that I've heard it like 4 or 5 times...:D

[paradisepictureshow]

How does the British system work if you did not elect a PM?

Good work.

[rhymingwithoranges]

we elect the party and it is the perty's decision who is their representitive.

[paradisepictureshow]

Whoaa. Thanks!

[sweetieepie7]

good job Jazza your getting closer and closer to having your ask the PM videos under a minute!yay

[rhymingwithoranges]

this will the editied down a little and added into the competition through another channel cuz this is my fave

[bunnydevil19]

good points there and I did enjoy the first Brown bashing vid but you were dead on. I dont know if asking Brown to sell himself will make him honest or not but good luck with that.

[rhymingwithoranges]

cheers

:)

[yellowfluff]

this has to be the best question yet, this needs to get picked!

[supernikkiflies]

I really like this question!

And how did it happen that you guys can't elect your own PM? (I'm from Australia and always assumed our respective election processes were quite similar)

[kunstinflammen]

It's so cute when people spell cheeky with an 'a'.

-x-

[Runafrom237]

This one is my favourite! It should really be answered..

And I wish Norways PM would do the same thing!

Go Jazza, our man!

[rusian1220]

We the public never choose the pm that is done by the party.

[k80G]

Exactly what I was about to say! We don't choose the prime minister, we choose the party based on policies!

[renard801]

If that is true, why do political parties spend vast sums on promoting their party leader before an election? Do you really believe that Blair was elected on his policies? No, it was because his PR machine promoted him as the best choice for the country.

All is spin these days - fool the public wherever possible.

The main point in this thread, though, is that the electorate was never given a chance to vote for Brown, albeit indirectly. He was foisted onto us, and ye gods, how we have paid!

[cheekychen]

this is a very good question.

I made one too. sod it, gonna post it now.

ps: you spelt cheeky incorrectly. had to point it out :P

[Eliotsthatway]

Good point.

[Minish]

Bush and Brown. Ugh. Who lets these people in office?

[teaskav]

i like this one the most :)

[Neavers]

Yeah, he got in through a loophole. So undemocratic.

I'm hoping he replies to this... I need to hope hard.

[XxCathy1308xX]

Ohh I do love youuu Jazza (:

YAY! a question under the time limit (ish)

But yeahh, I totally agree with you, he better answer this one !!!

¬¬

Loveyouuu

xxx

[ehvee1]

I think thats a great question.. I hope it gets picked.  You did well, Sir.

[ilikepiratesroar]

I'm from Canada and I wasn't even aware that you didn't get to chose your PM. That really sucks.

[jewel819]

great. great.great! i adore your hair down and i loved your question.

[BethOnTop]

hahaha stop posting PM videos..for god's sake.. he obviously doesn't love you :P hahaha.

i bet he's like "oh god, that jazza guy again. he's trying to catch me out" haha.

love you :) x

[rhymingwithoranges]

*breaks down and cries*

[XxCathy1308xX]

Aww

hehe

*Big huggles*

I love your PM videos !!! I agree with every single one of them !!

So Go You, Jazza !
