Hmm! the way I remember it is Gordon Brown with the aid of people like Ed Balls and Ed Milliband spent years briefing against him. I don't remember the electorate forcing him from office at all. You read to many Daily Wail editorials.
Nope, no daily mail here, an unfortunate fall back accusation though based on absolutely no evidence. Also ironic considered the amount of spin that Blair relied on with the help of the press. Spitting the dummy when they eventually change their mind recalls images of spurned lovers not innate enemies.
And no, his popularity dropped when it became clear of the cost of his wars and his misleading of parliament. "Not a bullet fired" was the claim for Afghanistan I seem to remember... Btw before you claim I'm just antiwar, I'm not, I actually served in Afghan.
He may be admired by his own supporters but you have failed to acknowledge the electorate also elected him as our PM three times. Most successful Labour leader ever.
Relevance to how he would do now in a GE? Opinions change. Bush held one of the highest opinion poll positions in American history at one time as well. Could you acknowledge that labours dominance may have been to a weak opposition? (Much like the tories currently)
You have also failed to address the fact that Saddam was a despot and the world was better for having removed him. The mistakes in Iraq was the fact the U.S. only planned for war but failed to plan for peace.
So how wise of a foreign policy move was it to join them in a poorly thought out war and occupation?
So what he was a despot? Blair then went to Libya to make deals with an equally corrupt and cruel man, including the tacit forgiveness (through money stuffed in the mouth) of the murder of British citizens whilst the man tried to knight Assad.
On top of these moves he lied about each and every move to parliament and the public. Do not try and paint him as a moral man.
If you read the brief of the Middle East PE then you would quickly realise why there was never going to be a settlement from that quarter.
Presumably he knew this... So why did he take an impossible job? Hubris or greed, your choice. The PE isn't the only position he took up to which he used to milk ME regimes BTW. Including PR for that beacon of light and reason Khazakstan and damage limitation following a massacre there.
You come across as idealistic but sadly ill informed - sorry.
You come across as delusional and so far attempted to paint me as both loony left and a daily mail reader. Sorry.
