CRAP!
I'm kidding, he's only been there one day. I just thought he deserved a thread so we can bump him later on if he does something that needs to be categorised as CRAP or indeed, NOT CRAP.
PM: Gordon Brown
4I withhold judgement.
But for now, I predict a cautious NOT CRAP with large waffle factor.
i.e. better than Blair, and with a tinge more Left to him. A relativist's NOT CRAP, you see.
However, the cynical and world-weary 26 year-old in me(ha!), suspects he may turn out to be no better than TB, and therefore CRAP.
One will see...

7I think he'll be good...but I don't know how long he'll be able to hold off David Cameron...England was never a particularly progressive nation to begin with (to say the least)...

8I want to be enthused about him but he hasn't been elected to be leader, he has a too-kind face, he'll either be a (certain) people pleaser(like the rest of 'em) or he'll be the annoying unpopular kid who does what he wants anyway and in the end he will cause many deaths.
Just as long as he stays away from the White House and gets British troops out of Iraq, we'll be on our way. Plus, he was the chancellor so, maybe he can sort out where he went wrong in the budgeting...and he really needs to be taxing the abnormally high earners or simply abolishing massive bonuses.
And he needs to sort out the agricultural subsidies and begin penalising those giant farms who dump left over mass produce instead of donating it to charities/worthy causes.
And he should definitly sack Bono.
I obviously don't want him to be CRAP so I will vote NC and try to be optimistic.
