Who won then? You be forgiven for thinking that the Labour Party and Tony Blair didn't win the 2005 Election based on the number of backbenchers calling for his resignation. I can’t help think that they’re being a tad ungrateful seeing as the party was unelectable prior to his leadership however as he seems to have squandered all the good will and massive majority they’d accumulated in ’97 maybe they have a point. The Conservatives failed to increase their proportion of the popular vote but with Michael Howard in charge they always going to come second. The next Tory PM is someone we’ve never heard of. Is it worth mentioning the Liberals? They seem to think we now live in a ‘Three Party Democracy’ and it would be nice to think there was some so called real alternative but the electoral seem to like simple choices and maybe three is too many.

I think the late John Smith had quite a lot to do with the necessary transformaton of Labour into New Labour. When he passed away, it was a sad day for Labour and Britain. Blair and Brown faithfully continued his work, rather than the revisionist theory that they started it.

And everyone trusted him. Those were the days.

(Just to be clear, I voted Lib Dem because I live in Richmond and have to ensure that the Tory scum don't get in. But I'm from Hull so my heart is with Labour.)
