Tony Blair To Step Down In June

*ZariusTwo* · 05-10-2007, 06:51 PM

Brit's Prime Minister, Tony Blair, will step down on June 27th, several months before the elections that may or may not see the revitalized Conservative party under David Cameron sweep a major victory and retake the title of the leading goverment.

Blair's successor will be Scottish born Gordon Brown, previously the budget handler of the Labour Party

Well, that's one down. Blair did tons of good and bad things, most noticbly putting a ban on smoking in bars and fox hunting, but sadly will undoubtedly be remembered as Bush's right hand puppet and one half of the two "goldiggers" responsible for the Iraq Invasion and ongoing occupation. Brown has a chance to redeem the party by distancing himself from Bush and the States.

He did do some good things. Intervening in Sierra Leone was one of them.

But people are always going to remember him saying "just trust me," about the WMDs. :/ What's his position on that now?

Americans tend to like Tony Blair, at least those who have any opinion of him.
