I wonder who the next leader will be?Gordon brown?

That's kind of weird. Almost year away?

Read the whole article. The Blair administation says what the Sun says is just speculation. Must be a slow news day. Enough said

True but this has been coming for a while it was just a matter of when not if.

Tony Blair has announced he will quit as labour leader on may 31 2007,and will resign as primeminister 8 weeks later on july 26 2007

As I said in the other thread, this is speculation is all it is. Blair has not went in front of the press and actually said he will resign on the 31st May 2007.

He will go when his legacy tour has finished. His resignation will come when he decides his time is up. Like the guy or hate the guy, at least the press should stop acting like vultures, every time a so called item is leaked from 10 D/Street.

Actually, and I don't know if they updated the article since you posted, it reads:

"Seven Labour MPs have quit Government posts in protest at Tony Blair's refusal to say when he will stand down as PM...

...Earlier, The Sun reported he will step down as Labour leader on May 31 and resign as PM on July 26"

So Blair hasn't resigned, The Sun is speculating.

That must be the case I posted this about 13 hours ago.

doesnt really matter who the next one will be...their all corupt.
All the government entities should resign, and let people rule themself...oh, but people arent mature enough I suppose, so lets keep the organized crime provided by the governments of the world...keeps us safer.

Peace

Now children, to make a war you will need: 2 toilet-roll holders, 4 empty yoghurt pots, 30,000 troops (guns can be dangerous so get a grown-up to do the fighting for you) and some sticky-backed plastic...

...and here's a dossier we made-up earlier

Well, I guess his resignation is official. The news hit ATSNN earlier today
www.abovetopsecret.com...

he claims it will be within the next 12 months although he hasn't named a date yet, personally i cant seem him lasting a fraction of that time, there are already rumblings coming from inside the labour party

I don't really understand what the problem is, why are people pestering him about a resignation date anyway?

because the goverment are effectively paralysed until he **#&s off, no mater what legislation ect they dream up it cant really be implemented until the new blokes in place
