Blair support dropping within Labor Party
Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 03:44 PM by JI7
<LONDON, June 17 (UPI) -- Current and former British Labor Party members are disillusioned with their leadership and want Prime Minister Tony Blair gone by next year, a poll indicates.

Two-thirds of those polled by Labor's Michael Meacher said Blair should resign by next year's party conference, the Guardian reported Saturday. The same percentage also said government policy is made centrally instead of from within the whole party.

The poll is the largest of its kind in the past 10 years, the Guardian said.

It found criticism of the Blair administration for a number of issues including the Iraq war, being co-opted by the United States and privatizing public services.

Most positive aspects of the current leadership were attributed to Chancellor Gordon Brown instead of Blair.

Nearly three-quarters of Labor members said they do not have any influence on government and 75 percent said wealthy donors have too much.>

2. So they are willing to let the little war criminal govern for
another year?

Sadly, it's time for them all to go.

3. Whoa, these guys are pretty liberal in their terms of blair's departure.
They're willing to put up with his Poodle act for another YEAR? Just imagine how much more screwed up it could be by that time. Although it could be worse. Much worse. We have the Unelected Fraud for for over 2-1/2 more years.

4. He's already gullivered
He can't move an inch he's so tied down. He doesn't get that
he's politically inert matter, a sort of political comet that
belives in his own tail, even after he has crashed down to earth.

5. He's more like Ramsay Mac Donald every day.
If he had his way, he would do a Mac Donald, take his rump of the Labour Party into a coalition with the Tories just like Mac Donald did in 1931.
