> That was my guess as well - except that press reports stated Blair pick Brown.
Press reports are wrong. As I understand it: the Parliamentary Labour Party picked Brown as the party leader. Because the Labour Party are the majority party, the Queen invited Brown to form a government, as she would have done if the party had just won an election. So the PM is elected, but as an MP, not as the PM: that derives from his position as leader of the majority party. -- David Harley _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
