The electoral system over here is subtly different to the US but not so bad that you'd lose sleep. The big difference is that we don't elect our PM, we elect a government (think - party) and the leader of the majority is normally "requested" by Her Majesty to form a government, but this is not written down in our constitution, as we don't have a written constitution. I've had HUGE rants at the current leader of the opposition, but I must admire him for this statement:\n"The constitution of the United Kingdom is whatever The Queen says it is".\nLegally, that is 100% correct.\nOur current government (ruling party, blair's thugs) were elected based on 21% (or so, don't flame me over a percentage point) of the valid electorate. A lot of people simply don't bother to vote because they're all crooks anyway, aren't they?\nBut listen to the talk in the trains and the bars etc. When they build the scaffold to hang Saddam, make space for Tony - and George - they're ALL war criminals.

You have got to be JOKING!!!!! Having one Blair destroy this country is enough...........As she is a 'human rights lawyer' she would simply finish the job Tony started and this country would sink without trace!!!!!!\nWe want a Prime minister who will listen to and represent the British people.....That is their job!!\nHopefully the next prime minister will be such a person (Although looking at the likely candidates....I won't hold my breath) and will be able to start the rebuilding process to put right all that Blair destroyed!!!!

We don't think blair is good.  We think he is a spineless little capitalistic, scared puppy dog who is afraid to stand up to the american bully for fear of economic disfavor.  We think every PM of the EU are ignorant fools for not listening to their citizens and their hearts.  Most of the western world wants the US out of Iraq, never wanted the US in Iraq, and yet the A-holes in washington still went.  And yes, people are dieing because of it.  We don't think blair is good.  We don't think bush is good.  We don't think the process of government is democratic, and that we are too scared to do anything about it cause we are lost in this paranoia of nationalism.  And if Blair lets the bush administration go into Iran, he is as culpable as we are for sending the global economy right in the loo.  As it is, he is just as guilty for the murders, massacres, deaths and suffering.  We are all guilty because we are letting this happen.

I admire him as a man who does what he believes to be right, despite what many others are saying. He follows his gut insticts. He has stood with President Bush because he realizes the importance of our alliance to each other, and took a lot of heat at home due to the extreme liberalism that is taking hold in Europe. The French? The Spaniards? Germans? They all folded. Blair didn't. The man has a set and a half.

Blair's foreign policy is to follow US foreign policy. They did that in the first Gulf War when Majors, A conservative was in power why deviate now?   Also, you just gotta give the guy credit he has to defend his policies not just against the media, but an arguing session against the other party.

Frankly, I support all Presidents.  Even the Presidents I didn't vote for.\n\nI may not like what they stand for or do.  But they were elected and deserve our support.\n\nBesides, they make decisions on information they get and we don't.  They are human and do the best job they can.

Wonder whose fault he thinks it is.\n\nFact is, he merrily supported an illicit president, who made a bad decision and justified it with spurious'proof' of nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction, to meddle in a sovereign state's internal affairs, to go into Iraq and completely destroy a functioning society.\n\nCertainly it was an unpalatable society to many people.  But it is ultimately the right and responsibility of the citizens of a sovereign state to turf out the people whose government they do not want, that is part of the democratic process.\n\nIn any event, the West supports an idiot, and the crooks surrounding him, who has a skewed interpretation of democracy.  Palestinians democratically elected a government The Bush and Blair et al do not like.  In 1953 Iranians democratically elected a government the US did not like, and they deposed him, put the autocratic, corrupt Shah in his place, and are now reaping the results.\n\nFor Blair one can't have a lot of sympathy.  If you play with fire you will get burnt.

I don't "hate" Bush, I just think he's a bit thick . . . I felt he went about the Afghan and Iraq wars the wrong way.  It has just stirred up even more hatred towards the West - the Muslims who bombed London on 7/7/05 used Britains' involvement in these wars as an excuse, and this has led to a lot of bad feeling from Brits about the whole conflict and Blair getting involved with Bush's war.\n\nBut honestly, given the choice I side far more with America that I ever could with the Muslim Terrorists.  \n\nYes I grew up with Muslims in school etc (we all did over here) but I can't say I ever had any Muslim friends or have any sympathy for the radical cause.  I spent far more of my time around Hindus, many of whose parents had been driven out of North India by Muslim violence, plus I've had some really bad experiences with Muslims throughout my life, I feel far more trusting of Hindus than I ever will of a Muslim due to these experiences. \n\nSo I'm not one of those Brits who says "I have Muslims friends and they are great" or has any sympathy for their cause.  \n\nI was disgusted at 9/11 and canot accept any excuse for it.  I was even more horrified when it hit our own shores on 7/7 and the latest arrests of Muslims trying to blow up British people.  It makes me very angry.\n\nSo if I had to choose either Muslims or Bush I'd choose Bush, I just don't really like him  and I really wish he hadn't drawn the UK into his war as its not done us any good at all.  The money wasted on that war should have been put to better use (health care, housing etc) in the UK.

Queen might deserve that but do you think with Blair in chair others will take pride in such situations?

I agree wholeheartedly. Whether or not Bush is doing a good job, and he isn't, he should be the least of Britain's concern. Last I heard, Tony Blair wasn't any better, so they need not complain about our government. Plus, we're actually being affected. They have no idea personally what it feels like to have a man like Bush in power.

They ought not to be there. I will be forever mystified why someone as intelligent at Tony Blair would suck up to president bunny pants and support his colonial war. \nI feel they ought to go home.

I Love my Country!!  I believe in my President...I may not agree with him on every issue, but unless I was President I don't think I would agree with everything ANYone did in the oval office....I also know that having Bush in office is FAR better than having ANY democrat in office!!!!

Blair is still in power and his party is still a stooge to bush govt. so the chances are bleak.it will happen only when the british elect leftist government.
