| I think Blair will get away with this (I've changed my mind on that recently). The main reason is not that he's forgiven, but that the conservatives seem incapable of establishing any coherent opposition. Labour has very strongly taken the middle ground, leaving the far left to the LibDems and the far right to who-ever wants it. They are capturing some votes on the moderate right, while dominating the centre and moderate left.
Alice the Camel is gone, and he will probably be enough of a scape-goat to let Blair off the hook. By the next election, he might be all good. Given there's an election in the US coming up, we can probably expect to see some evidence emerge from Iraq before Blair has to face the electorate himself. |
