Tony Blair Cleaned House... Surprised?

Looks like those in the UK aren't so divided after all.... you'd have thought by watching the news that he'd get punished for Iraq. Looks like he war rewarded if you look at the margin.

I actually was very suprised. I dont know if his wide margin neceassrily means the war in Iraq is popular as this could be attributed to other factors.

But isn't it funny that a loss would have been attributed to Iraq, but it somehow isn't considered as a cause for his victory?

Aha! Figured it was only a matter of time. Look how they cite Iraq as the cause of one defeat, and the margin was only 800 or so votes!!! What nonsense.

Let me rephrase that... it's utter rubbish!!!!

Probably because the English people (you know, the people who are in charge in a democracy...the citizens) didn't want to be involved in Iraq at all.
