A lot has been said recently in the press about how bad previous Leaders have been. So you have Blair stating in his book that Gordon Brown was impossible to put up with and now we see that Gordon resented Tony Blair and probably hated him. Many in the Labour party are now openly hostile towards Tony Blair and many think that Gordon was a nasty piece of work.
Most of these critics ignore the immense pressure that people in leadership positions are placed in and how difficult it is to keep the political equilibrium. I am personally not happy with Tony Blairs decision to force us into an illegal war but he made some serious changes to the way the party functioned and achieved electoral success. Gordon Brown on the other hand took the country through a difficult financial crisis and took decisive action which ensured we did not fall into a massive depression. So we should always be careful to remember what an incredibly difficult job and not get personal when critical.
