What do you guys think of Blair getting re-elected??
ANy thoughts??

Can us yanks have an opinion?

Personally, I like him and am glad he got re-elected.

Even you yanks can have an opinion Ultra ... :lol:

personally I'm now waiting to see what he has in mind for the next period of office. He has said that he will stand down before the next election in four years time but I do not have any faith in his current deputy. I expect the next two years to be stable for him before all the wolves start positioning themselves to move in for the leadership of the Labour party.
Despite him saying that he has a mandate from the people their majority in Parliament is considerably reduced and there were swings in support from Labour to other parties. It will be an interesting period of time coming up thats for sure

I am happy but i hope this term he moves a bit closer to the left wing where he should belong inside the Socialist International. Lets see if he moves closer to leader like Zapatero in Spain and Socrates in Portugal and further away from people like Bush.
I understand his Third Way, but globaly its time to decide where he want to be. I have faith in him. Good luck for you all in England.

Kinda sounds like Bush over here...just as long as they don't try to use the "mandate" to push legislation down the public's throats, it's not a big deal. But not doing what is best for ALL the people is when it becomes a problem.

thats to be seen - given that he said that there is so much more that can be done in the next four years
and sorry BenficaViking I don't want to see him push any further left than he is now. He's far enough over to the left for most people's liking thank you

I think Blair is real good.. and im glad he got re-elected!

I don't really know enough about foreign politics to really be able to say to much, but I do know this,

During,After and also the Iraq issues, Blair had our Backs, as did Spain...Portugal,I'm not sure if they did or not......SCREW France....

But back to the topic, Blair had our backs and for that, well thats enough for me, but I don't live in England and I don't know how the common person feels or what issues are at case in England..

I know the Euro is strong now,and thats good for England....I liked Blair the first time I heard him speek and no reason has he given me yet to change my mind..

all Vikings fans can share their opinion, i don;t really know much about British politics, but I just dont like Blair coz he 's Bush's puppy............

Agree with VikingNed, Blair does speak real good though..........
