Conservative David Cameron's attacks on PM Brown continue by Corina Ciubotaru

Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown is facing harsh criticism these days. Conservative leader David Cameron is accusing him of delaying the elections due to fears of loss and is questioning his abilities as a politician. Recently, the attacks got even worse when Cameron became aggressively ironic and left Brown little means to defend himself in front of his colleagues in Parliament, and the PM faces other busy and difficult days in the following week. An E.U. summit is approaching fast so he went to meet Jose Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Commission. In the following days, Mr. Brown will also have to decide on the budget for health which is going to be increased next year. Gordon Brown has been Britain's PM since June, but many analysts were expecting him in 10 Downing Street a lot sooner. He had a history of both friendship and rivalry with the former Prime Minister and he was the country's longest serving chancellor so the seat he now occupies must seem like a well-deserved prize for his life's work. His party had been doing very well in polls partly due to his good handling of national issues like an epidemic that was barely avoided and massive floods; the Conservatives began to rise a few days ago and this is also when the critics started speaking louder. He seems a man totally dedicated to politics, fun with friend but somewhat awkward around strangers but despite not being very charismatic, he eventually gained Tony Blair's support when he started his leadership campaign.
