bloodhound Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I absolutely love those debates. Tony Blair does a really splendid job of defending his position. He is very witty, and can think very fast on his feet. and he enjoys bringing up dirt on the opposition. And so is Michael Howard(opposition leader). I loved his performance against Gordon Brown(Chancellor of the Exchequer). during the last budget. And I find the Booing and Shouting of the BackBenchers very amusing as well. What a great tradition. I wonder how GWBush would stand up to this style of unrehearsed grilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Not too well I guess. There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says fool me once, shame on..... shame on you.... and fool me we can't get fooled again - George Bush[/quOTE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atinymonkey Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Actually, Tony Blair reminds me of Alan B'stard a little to much. Especially his presentation style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaKiri Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 that was ages ago. he is more experienced now He had been PM for 4 years at the time. You'd think decades in politics, being leader of the party for 7 and PM for over half of that would have given him the ability to think on his feet. Personally, I feel it was because Hague was an exceptionally good speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaKiri Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 He was employing the tactic that the Democrats were using to such great effect of 'Say and do nothing'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 if he was such a good tactician, why was need for a new leadership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 if he was such a good tactician, why was need for a new leadership? Because, aside from doing things which the public actively hates, such as announcing an extra 50% tax increase, it's the worst possible tactic imaginable.

JaKiri Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I think he got a bit upset when he found out that he was no longer the most authoritarian home secretary in the last 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 And as far as the debates are concerned, I was quite upset when John Smith died and Blair took over. He was like a breath of fresh air for the Labour party and I heard some absolutely cracking debates when he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
