I will quit within a year - Blair

Good riddance Tony. Don’t let the door to Number 10 hit you in the arse on the way out.

If only it were that short a time for W here. *sigh* Great picture btw. :-)

hmmmm, not that I like him or anything, and I think he's completely lost the plot recently, but it depends who we get in his place doesn't it?

And don't believe the media hype. Neither Prime Minister nor Leader of the Labour Party are hereditary positions. He can not decide who to give them to. Whatever he & Gordon agreed. There's the niggling factor of a popular vote first!

Coups happen V V... [grin]. I was looking for a silly picture... but I couldn't find one.

Kind of... I'm assuming that either MP's or the Lour Party as a whole vote for the Leader...? I'm not sure. We'll only have a say in the matter come 2009/2010 in the next General Election.

If only that WOULD happen! While it would be nice to get him out, I'm not sure the person we throw in there next is going to have any easier of a time. They'll be judged even more critically than W is right now and any little F up will cost him everything with the American people. He's (or she's) got to be brutally honest, more than any politician knows how to be or the public will just believe they're another "typical politician/President."

I'd vote for the person who comes out and says when they make a mistake instead of trying to cover up everything with more lies and deception. They can leave the lies for when their talking to their spouse, like most married couples (j/k!).

That's my point of view anyway.

Unless they've secretly changed the labour party constitution, it still rests on a popular vote by all the members (however many they have left), for both leader & deputy leader.

I expect Tony Benn may well stand again, as may Margaret Becket, and a few others have mumbled something ambitous:)
