Tony Blair Query

[Pangloss]

Just curious if you Brits on here think Teflon Tony has a chance for a third term.

[bloodhound]

a big YES .. it seems that there is noone better at this moment.

[budullewraagh]

i thought everybody hated him over there

[Pangloss]

Yah ditto, and doesn't he have like a 20-something approval rating?

[Sayonara]

He's tricksy enough to weasel his way back in, even if he is not that popular.

Blair may drop out and the much more popular Brown take over the leadership. That will pretty much make Labours election win a lock.

Next year we'll hold the presidency of the EU, and will host the G8 summit. Mr. Blair isn't likely to stand down before them.

 

Although Tony isn't mr. popular at the moment he's still not as disliked as Michael Howard and the Tories. He's got a very good chance of winning the next election.

overall, Blair has done a pretty good job, except the mess in Iraq. altough some of his domestic policies like tution top up fees for universities arent very popular. I wonder who will get the student protest votes. lib dems ?
