Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair as Prime Minister in September 2007 after Blair's resignation from office, because in British Government, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the next in line to the Prime Minister and as such, Brown was the next place to head the Government. However, although a good Chancellor, he proved to be a weak and indecisive Premier, and lost the following General Election to the Conservatives under David Cameron in 2010.
