With most results in, Blair was heading for a majority of 70 seats or less in the 646-seat House of Commons, sharply down from 161 last time. His biggest problems have come not from the Conservatives but rather from within his own party.

A hard core of between 30 to 40 Labor members of parliament (MPs) have voted consistently against Blair in the last two years, with more defying him on individual issues. Final results seemed unlikely to cut the size of that "Awkward Squad" by much.
