Dawn on Another Blair Government
Here we go again.
Blair is back, intact, albeit with a reduced majority.
The Tories made gains but nothing spectacular. This could be a problem for them, even though it ensures stability for the leadership for the while, the gradual gains may dissuade the Tories from some of the wholesale reforms and re-introduce the libertarianism that could distinguish them from the others.
The LibDems are claiming to be the real party of opposition. Not sure why, they really didn’t live up to the potential that their anti-war stance indicated that they could.
Happy Birthday Tony.
The BBC are baying for Howard’s blood. But then they would wouldn’t they?
The fun bit now is assessing how secure Blair feels by monitoring his cabinet reshuffle. It’ll probably be Brownites out, Blairites in. Rumours include John Reid to FCO, Blunkett to take the Local Government and Housing briefs from the DPM. Blears to move sideways to HMT.
Will Blair serve the full third term as he said? Will he bollocks.
