Thread Name: BS: How do you feel about Blair?
Subject: RE: BS: How do you feel about Blair?
Tony Blair was once at a party,and said he wanted to be the prime minister, "Which political party?" he was asked his reply was "I dont care so long as the prime minister is ME".At the beginning of the last parliament he said he would outlaw hunting with dogs,he hasnt.I am not too bothered either way on the foxhunting issue,I think there are far more important things to sort out(the health servicee etc).But I think if you tell the electorate you will do something then dont, it wont take them long to start to mistrust you.Also on the europe issue even yhough he mentioneed a referedum, I am sure he will do whatever he wants.People are talking of a "Landslide Victory",well the last election saw the lowest recorded turnout in peacetime, also there were 3 times in the last century when the losing party received more votes than the returned government.A case for PR?
