Probably not... but mainly because the alternatives are worse. the larger opposition party supported the war and have no policies (certainly none anyone likes) beyond a knee-jerk europhobia, the Lib Dems are too small and probably too liberal in the US sense, and no one wants to go back to Old Labour when they were still vaguely socialist bar a few union dinosaurs.

So, he's safe. but what a lack of choice. If the Tories had a decent leader now (e.g., Ken Clarke) they'd walk through, no problem.

UK Blair support waning....

WR,

Re: Is Blair going to fall behind all this?

This week there was a vote to call for an independent and open investigation into Blair's lies about WMDs. He won the vote by a margin of 98 MPs. This is down from a vote of 165 MPs favoring him just prior to the start of the war.

He's fading, but he's certainly not about to fall. Damn.
