As an outsider looking in, I thought Gordon Brown's succession to Tony Blair was, for lack of a better term, "strange". Of course in the media in this country it was heralded as the best thing to be done because, well, apparently Tony Blair promised Brown he could be in charge when he was done. Or something to that effect. The British public were drawn to be behind it all the way, to the lowliest of the low to the great barons of industry.
