'It's no secret that Labour's Gordon Brown, Blair's longtime rival-pal and the current Chancellor of the Exchequer (Britain's treasurer), is being groomed to become the next PM. That power change could come as early as sometime next year, if Blair steps down early, as he is expected to do. There's a potential problem, though, which the Conservatives (also known as the Tories) plan to exploit. As they see it, Brown is guilty of a big, political sin: he's Scottish.'
Edward M. Gomez in the San Francisco Chronicle, 5 th July 2006.
