Brown already PM?

Um, perhaps a bit presumptuous? Today Brown accepted the nomination by MPs for the leadership of the Labour Party and there is no opponent, but does this mean that there will not be a vote by the party membership?

Brown is deservedly a shoe-in but doesn't he still have to be formally elected? He will be PM but isn't there a process to go through? Seems not. Brown said today: "I am honoured that the Party has chosen me...I will lead a new government with new priorities..." Etc.

The Independent has called for Tony Blair to go now.

To those commentators who claim that Brown never says 'New Labour' he said it today.
