It won’t work in Britain due to lack of credibility of the main opposition (Conservative Party) and the growing third party (Liberal Democrats) are not yet ready for power.

But I don’t know anyone who still has faith in Blair (I never did myself, I’ve found him to be false since before he was elected), the votes he stole from the Conservatives are now lost not knowing who to vote for (hence the proliferation of small far right parties with no real agenda, just a lot of frustration that is mainly led by the tabloid press), while all the Old Labour voters feel Blair has largely taken the party way from it’s core values. They are probably the reason for the rise of the Lib Dems, but are lot are still voting Labour out of habit because they can’t bear the thought of the Conservatives getting back in, and they are just praying Gordon Brown will succeed Blair.

I would limit to two consecutive terms myself. I think it’s best to have a change of leader imposed after that period, but if the people like them that much they should be able to choose them again at a later date.



That's probably a good point, but up here in Yorkshire (where exactly is Romsey, anyway?) Blair's still more popular politically that Howerd or Kennedy.

'Course, Kennedy's more personally popular than Blair cos he's Scottish and they rock, but Labour is still more popular. I don't know enough about Brown to opine on that matter, though.

OOK OOK ACK EEK!
