This Wednesday, Gordon Brown will replace Tony Blair as the new head of Britain’s Labor Party. This long-serving chancellor is a man of substance. However, even after more than a decade of scrutiny, his name remains a mystery and is not fully understood. Brown was born in Glasgow, Scotland in February 1951 and entered university at 16. After graduating with a history degree from Edinburgh University, he went on to earn a PhD.
Brown’s destiny, though, was politics. He joined Blair in entering the Parliament in 1983. They even shared offices, where they became friends—with a slight bit of competitiveness. When the Labor leader John Smith died unexpectedly in May 1994, many believed Brown was the most likely to succeed him. But Blair emerged from the sidelines. But, Brown has many achievements, including giving independence to the Bank of England. His commitments to child poverty and helping Africa have impressed many.
In 2000, Brown wed public relations executive Sara Macaulay after a four-year courtship. Many people close to him say his wife has softened him. In January 2002, their 10-day-old daughter died after birth. At her funeral Brown declared that Jennifer had transformed his and Sarah’s lives twice. “Once by entering our lives, then by leaving. “He later told an interviewer that he could not listen to music for a year afterwards because of his sorrow. The couple’s second son, James Fraser, was born in 2006 and diagnosed with muscular and respiratory problems. But Brown has said he is optimistic about his son’s future.
On the BBC Radio 4 Today program, Brown described himself as a “family man who has two young children”, who had changed as a result of his family experiences. But the straightforward personal details on his treasury website biography give the impression of a man totally committed to politics.
This week, Blair gave Brown his long-sought public approval as the successor. “He’s got what it takes, ”Blair said, "He’s an extraordinary talent... perhaps the most successful chancellor in our history. "
But Blair’s conviction somehow sounded less than full, as if all those years of competition had drained something from their relationship. With Blair so unpopular over Iraq, Brown may benefit from the distance between them. However, opposition parties have been already begun hammering the "Blair-Brown government”in recent months.
Brown is sometimes described as a silent prince caught up in the longest gloomy period in history. But Brown has said he believes people have been tired of “personality politics".
