To me the jury's out on Blair, yes there are a lot of negatives (Britain being a poodle to Bush, Iraq war, Afghanistan, Use of spin as a political tool, removal of socialism from the labour party).

However there are an awful lot of positives, Tax Credits, Northern Ireland, investment in the Public Services ((regardless of everyone on here spouting off about about how long they wait in hospitals) it's up to the Trusts where they spend the money)) Moving a large perecentage of people out of poverty, getting people back into work etc.

He has done more positives than any Prime minister I can remember, and if anyone mentions Thatcher just think of 3 million unemployed and interest rates at 12%.
