Gordon Brown is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom and is expected to take over as Prime Minister when Tony Blair steps down, which he is expected to do in the summer of 2007.
Gordon Brown is a member of Britain's Labour Party and has been Chancellor since 1997, making him one of the longest serving Chancellors in history.
During his tenure, the UK has enjoyed sustained economic growth and generally positive reports from the IMF, although there were concerns at extreme inflationary pressures in the housing market. At the same time, he has followed a generally redistributionary policy, increasing spending in the National Health Service and education, whilst giving tax breaks to poorer families.
