Oh I do apologise. Me and my short attention span. It shall forever be my bane.
As for my unsupported "gut feeling"... It comes from watching as Labour ministers stand up, time and time again, asking if "The Prime Minister would agree that... *insert communist ideology here*?" to which Blair will reply 9 times out of 10 "Well... I understand... but... no". Thus... I can see first hand that Tony Blair does not agree with the rest of his party, in particular the back benchers. There is no measure of how left or right you are (except for the
Political Compass of course =p) but it is possible to cite events when certain typically left-wing ideologies are dismissed out of hand by someone who would like to be seen as left-wing. More to the point, I've seen numerous interviews where Tony Blair has shrugged off any hints and him being left wing and not strongly disputed accusations of being right-wing. It is these events that lead to my gut feelings, not conversations with Old Labour supporters.
I do hope that I've not been neglecting to pay adequate attention once more, it might just drive me over the edge...
