The position of Britain’s unelected – and unelectable – prime minister Gordon Brown has become almost untenable over the last week, with the governing Labour Party in disarray and suffering one defeat after another in local council and European elections. No less than six Labour MPs resigned in that period, with most taking a parting jab at Brown himself. Last Friday, two days before the election 8 million French viewers watched Home, a television documentary on saving the planet. Minister of Culture Christine Albanel praised the "historic success" of the documentary. Many feel that the impact of the film influenced the vote on Sunday to the advantage of the green candidate Daniel Cohn-Bendit.Britain, Elections, and the MPs that doth Protest too Much
