Things aren’t looking good for the Labour Party as 7 Junior Ministers resign over Tony Blair’s insistence that he won’t name a concrete date for his resignation.
As a voter I’m slightly peeved by this display. If I recall I voted for 4 more years of a Labour Government led by Tony Blair, that’s what I was told I was voting for, that’s what I expect to get. I didn’t vote for “some time with Blair as PM until we get tired of following orders”.
I got my 1st in Constitutional Law and recognize that on a purely academic level a General Election is not in fact a “Prime Ministerial” election, however the election is always presented to the public by every party as being precisely that.
If this goes on we’ll be seeing David Cameron smiling on the steps of Downing Street and I’ll have probably voted for him out of disgust for my own Party as the best hope to implement a progressive set of policies.
You’ve been warned Labour: Knives come out, so does my membership.
Later
John
