Well..not really. He said that he knows he can't be leader of the party in the long term. That isn't really the same thing. He is still the PM until we figure out which party is actually going to hold Parliament. This is all being said today because at the start of the day the Lib Dems started the whispering game that they would only seriously negotiate with Labour if Brown stepped down today. He did and now they are apparently in official talks. Though, it is fairly clear there have been unofficial ones already.
