Over-reliance on small coterie of advisors is harmful
Gordon Brown's over-reliance for advice on a small coterie of personal and political cronies – Ed Balls prominently among them – is harmful and undemocratic.

A wide range of experienced and savvy advisors is available
Such over-reliance is particular bad when the prime minister has a huge range of ministers, back-benchers, and above all experienced and savvy civil servants to sound out and listen to.

Dogged adherence to unpopular policies
Gordon Brown sticks doggedly to policies which are heartedly disliked by a large section of the party at the grass roots and probably even in parliament.

No compelling alternative
No evidence that any credible candidate for the succession to Brown, would change existing government policies in any significant way or has the charisma and personal popular electoral appeal to reverse the decline in Labour’s fortunes.
