No Longer Man of the House?

It is reported that Tony Blair will give up being a MP if selected to be a peace envoy in the Middle East. This sounds like a good idea, lets be honest for most of his time as PM Tony Blair put with the House of Commons and early on used spin to get his policies out rather than a speech in the House. I don't think he would like being a backbench MP, having to follow the order from on High from Gordon Brown. At least Gordon Brown will know that unlike previous PM's he wont have a past leader in the tea rooms telling any one that will listen that the replacement is not up to much and will cost the party the next election. On the other hand our Tony will still be on the World Stage, that will annoy Gordon Brown. Politics as fun is back, and this political geek is very happy.
