Because the primary job of an prime minster is to apologise, and gillian totally wasn't a bigot, and this is something that no other human on the British isles has done before, and there is certainly no chance that other party leaders do this on the campaign trail and don't get caught.

Enjoy a rare downvote.

The moment his career ended. Straight out of the script for "In The Loop".

I feel sorry for him. He didn't really do anything wrong, and he's going to pay a political price for this that's vastly out of proportion to the reality of the situation.

I agree with that netrunner, this has been blown up out of proportion. I feel more sorry for our country, to be honest, now Cameron is way more likely to get in, eeek. Still he could have done a much better job of being sincere in his explanation

@alien_concept, I hear that. I think your conservatives are a little less crazy than ours though. They probably aren't going to start trying to privatize the NHS, or try to make it illegal for people to unionize.

Or maybe I'm wrong. I don't really follow UK politics.

No, you're absolutely right, we don't have the first clue what it's like to deal with real right-wingers anymore

best drama is real drama. GO CSPAN!

Because your ability to lead a country is now judged by the off hand remarks you make in private.

Actually scratch that, lets just blame the entire economic crisis on him and vote for the conservatives we were so happy to be rid of all those years ago.

I don't have any issue with what he said. He's just human and being a bit defensive and stressy. But this apology, the way he did it, was cheap and evasive

I like how he talks exactly how the stereotype from family guy portrays English people.

The UK lacks real right-wingers and the US lacks real left-wingers. Maybe we could work out some kind of exchange program.
