Sminky,

What's it called when Tony Blair goes in front of Parliament (not sure which House) and has to answer questions and dodge rotten fruit from the backbenchers?

That's a hoot, we get it on CSpan (I think). How often does he do it?

Have to hand it to him though, Jr. would be hemming and hawing like the dickens. Blair has a good grasp of the issues and seems to crack them up quite a bit. No one's holding back, that's for sure.

Blair is an extremely competent, media savy, intelligent prime minister. If it wasn't for Iraq, and the WMD's, he'd still be popular.

New Labour HAS done alot for this country. They had the balls to ditch their old socialist 'value's that simply weren't acceptable in this nation. Although Blair will always maintain that he's just 'redefined' socialism.

Cameron i feel, will be the next PM. Either that or a hung parliament. He impressed me in PMQ's today. Theres still plenty of spin and image being put into his leadership, but this was the case with New Labour, and across the pond. Cameron just looks like a leader, he speaks with fantastic English (well he is from an aristocratic family and related to the royal family) and would be a good statesman on the world stage.

Have the tories learnt there lessons, do they deseve another go? I'm not sure. There is a sizeable contingent of modern tories who are trying to escape from the old guard. But I still think there isn't enough for an effective government.

Thank you sminkeyminkey for the welcome.
I am not surprised that Labour is slipping in the opinion polls.
I have a list of question's i would love to ask Mr Blair and co.
They have really opened my eye's with their dogmatic way's and ill thought out policies.
I am a life long supporter of Labour and i would'nt vote any other way, but they need to be told before it's too late! How can i make them listen, before our country falls into the hands of the tories with no policies?
In the begining the Labour party promised forum's for ordinary people to have their say. I never saw any evidence ofthis in my area or anywhere else come to that!
I get very upset as i still have'nt got over the 18 years of tory folly.
People unfortunately have very short memories, very short!
They have forgotten when their Sons, Dads and Grandads queued up outside the jobcentre in all weather's to sign on! Inflated prices in the shop's, buy now pay later! get into debt. I suspect there are people still in debt from those days.
Will Mr Brown listen? I hope so. I think Blair is a good Primeminister at home, but on the international stage he's a jelly, a wimp!... call him what you like. So while he's away Mr Prescott calves up the south east of england and calls it progress! It's not progress from where i'm standing it's a disgrace. Everywhere you go in the south east there are new homes being built. For who? The wealthy Londoners who sell their properties at over inflated prices and buy 3 or 4 to rent out down south sending any profit to their families abroad. I rest my case! Maybe u2u is my next option.
