Today is the day, will Tony Blair make a comment that will keep Brown’s baying wolfs from his No 10 Door or is his departure written in the political stars. The day is the return of politics as we who have an interest in politics understand the game, since Tony Blair has come to power, the rules of politics seem to have been frozen, for years it was like Teflon Tony, the Conservatives could never get him, so what would bring Tony Blair down. Would the Prime Minister follow the path of Harold Wilson who surprised the nation with his leaving and did it in a manner of his choosing. Or would he be like Lady Thatcher, not seeing it was time and being forced out by her cabinet and Members of Parliament.
The problems started in 2004 when the Prime Minister stated he would not run for a fourth term, it was only a matter of time before there would be calls for his early retirement. Thus we have this almost Thatcher moment, when he does go, it wont be when wanted to go, by the news leaks and reports it could be after the New Year, but then it has to be asked why he does not go before the Queen’s Speech in November which will introduce the new agenda for Parliament. It will be the agenda of Gordon Brown, so what is the point of causing more friction, the news reports state that Tony Blair will follow the example of Margaret Thatcher and John Major and stay in Parliament, one has to ask why, he never showed much interest in the House of Commons, lets us recall his Chief Whip sent him home before a vote which they lost by one Vote.
Views has not written off Tony Blair yet, today will be interesting, finally British Politics is fun again!!
