    Gordon Brown

    Barring a fall at the last will take over the British premiership in 6 weeks. But how is he likely to perform on "the Irish Question"?

    Certainly doesn't appear to have anything like the interest in it that Blair had.

    As a scottish presbyterian unionist, he will have no choice but to back the Union with NI as well as Scotland in order to justify his position as UK PM with a Scottish seat.

    There is a feeling in the UK, that the North is finished as an issue now.
