What's Happening In the UK Elections?
We have had no more staunch an ally in the War on Terrorism that Tony Blair. On domestic policy, the Honorable Gentleman and I have little if nothing in common, but his presence when the President addressed Congress after 9-11 will forever give him a soft place in my heart.
He is fighting for his political life. British elections are far quieter than ours, but often far more entertaining. Yesterday's Wall Street Journal had this review of what is happening. Adrain Warnock also has some insight.
Mark Steyn was on Hugh Hewitt yesterday and he thinks even if Labour wins, Blair is out. The Tories are the natural allies of those that won the last election here, but everyone seems to agree that they don't have a snowball's chance. Which puts me in the position of rooting for Labour, which is Blair, but then if they win and Blair doesn't continue as PM, it is a real loser from an American perspective.
See why this is kind of entertaining?
