The man is a pathetic disgrace.
The first piece of electoral reform anyone does should be to prevent any incumbent party from sacking their leader without there being an immediate a general election.
Brown is an unelected PM who has lost this election and the confidence of the British electorate, his grabbing attempts to hold onto an office that was not attained through a democratic process is a disgrace.

Second election.
i would say try a coalition for a bit until a few months down the line (like in 1974)
