Madame Tussauds has launched its own election to determine whether Gordon Brown should be immortalised like his predecessor. Their reason for not casting Brown in wax already is quite simple:
"When Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair last year, for the first time in a 150 year history, Madame Tussauds took the decision not to immediately create a figure of the current Prime Minister.
Instead we chose to wait for a General Election to confirm Gordon Brown’s status. Ten months later there is still no sign that Mr Brown intends to go to the polls – so Madame Tussauds is holding its own election to let YOU decide the question: Gordon Brown – in or out?"
‘Confirming Gordon Brown’s status’… hmm, it sounds an awful lot like Madame Tussauds have reservations about the merits of Brown’s leadership (I wonder why that might be!?):
