"a different type of politics - a more open and honest dialogue"

"a different type of politics - a more open and honest dialogue" that's what Gordon Brown promised when he became Prime Minister back in June last year. The deputy leader of the Labour party, Harriet Harman, said that under Mr Brown, there would be "no spin". However I read that
"he dramatic reversal in his popularity at the end of last year apparently triggered a dip in confidence that has led Mr Brown to appoint, on average, a new adviser every fortnight since the start of the year.

As a result, the annual wage bill for the Prime Minister's special advisers was estimated to have risen by more than £350,000 to £1.75 million - roughly the same as when Mr Blair was at No 10."



I seem to be writing a lot about the inadequacies of Gordon Brown at the moment, as are many other commentators. However I would like to point out that unlike many of them I have been doing this for more than a couple of months.
