The Tony Blair Resignation Countdown Thread

Uhm...




*runs away*

 

alright!

im still young and willing to learn.

 

Economic Left/Right: -3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.62

 

Hes got the Job!!!

 

He is thought likely to quit if he is confirmed as a Middle East envoy on Wednesday by the Mid-East quartet of the US, Russia, the UN and the EU.

Have to wait till he's confirmed

 

lol.A peace Envoy for one of the most troubled areas in the world or Sedgefield?

Segefield does have good chips

anyone heard of this?

 

Yes, we talked about this earlier.

lol.A peace Envoy for one of the most troubled areas in the world or Sedgefield?

What do you mean, or Sedgefield???

 

lol.Poor Tories

 

As I said, we talked about this earlier. It means nothing. Just another rebellion on Cameron's centrist rather than Right-wing policies.

 

yeah that and him not actually doing anything truly constructive as a party leader e.g. mostly name calling Labour

 

Meh, Conservatives don't need lefties like him anyway

Anyway, we're retreading old non-Blair related ground. Back on topic please, folks

 

I cannot wait until Blair is gone, then it's the world stage for him and his new important tasks!

He will go from strength to strentgh, on to new and better things, good luck Mr.Blair the world is waiting

 

Well thats it the time has come

Que Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name!



But on the plus side he can now move on to better and greater things so all is good again

 

Will be interesting to see how Brown does as PM.

Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

 

Well, for better or worse, he's gone.



Let's just hope Brown doesn't lead the country to ruin in the time he is in charge.

 

Hope not but if he does we can always vote him out

 

What worries me is the time he has till we get that chance!

 

I don't think your alone on that one.

 

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Already posted on the BBC forums of what I expect from him.

 

Things are already looking up - Sky News is reporting that Patricia Hewitt has resigned 'for personal reasons'. If I never hear her voice as a government minister again it will be a good thing. Maybe we can make a clean sweep with Jowell and Harmon? (And no, I am not biased against women - they just all seem to have attended the same seminars on how to be patronizing and totally useless).

 

Ah, the same one Hillary Clinton attended

 

It was probably chaired by Virginia Bottomley (for those who remember back that far).

 

Can we get rid of Ruth Kelly as well? I remember her as being particularly useless...


EDIT:

WTH?! Is he insane and completely stupid?
1. If there were an immediate General Election then the Tories would lose. No policies and a party that's had recent internal conflict doesn't make for an electable party.
2. You vote for the Party, not the man. Idiot.

 

I'd be willing to toss Ruth Kelly in as well. She's not quite that patronizing but she is useless.


I can see Dave's point though - how many people would have voted Labour if it was Brown leading at the time and not Blair?
