Why is Brown hanging on?

The Telegraph tells us Lord Mandelson charged to the rescue and made up for 15 years of hurt and for his trouble he is now effectively the deputy prime minister, we also have another paid up and paid by EU backer in the cabinet in the form of Mrs Kinnock.
But says the Telegraph Mandelson did not do this without a reason (Their man was close to the edge.)
Their man rather begs the question who is the their! And more to the point why is the British Prime minister anybodies man. I have long though and still believe Brown and those controlling him will try to hang on as long as possible, no matter what damage is done to the Labour party or the country for the simply reason that if Brown were to go it would very likely be the end of the Lisbon Treaty. As another change of leadership would very likely trigger a general election which Labour know full well they will lose. The name of the game now is to keep the Conservatives out of power until the treaty is delivered which means until after the Irish have voted in the Autumn.
I really do hope I am wrong and the Labour MPs seeing the writing on the wall and hoping to salvage as much as possible from the wreckage will oust Brown.
