Not sure this is the right place for this, but can. I see Gordon Brown making a comeback as First Minister and running Scotland as a personal fiefdom of sorts. If he takes the lead in negotations for expanded devolution, presenting himself as the champion of Scottish interests, he could generally establish himself, at long last, as an elder statesman who returned to his native Scotland to steer it towards greater autonomy, a strengthened union with the rest of the country, etc, etc.
This person seems to be thinking much of the same thing.
Gordon Brown has been a MP in name only for past 4 years, what makes you think he'll suddenly get vigor and somehow manage to become First Minister of Scotland?
That may make an easy newspaper headline, but it's unfair.
No it's not. His appearances in the Commons post-2010 can be counted on fingers. No PM (except Blair, who resigned as an MP immediately on standing down as PM) compares. If Brown is meant to be a great elder statesman and 2014’s Saviour of the Union, you’d expect him to be proactive at the Mother Parliament in Her Majesty’s City of Westminster. He is not; he has been an MP in name only.
