 Wed May 09, 2007 6:23 pm Tony Blair set to resign as Prime Minister |
|
| Quote: | Tony Blair will "make an announcement" on his future as Labour leader on Thursday, Downing Street has confirmed.
Mr Blair will tell Cabinet colleagues of his intentions on Thursday morning, before making his plans public in a speech in his Sedgefield constituency.

We are in the last days of Tony Blairs premiership now and you know what i am actually going to miss him. Maybe its all this reminiscing about 1997 and the Labour landslide. I mean they showed the whole election night program the other day for 14 hours. There was some much hope then.
For those of you who don't remember Blair entering Downing street watch this.

Tony Blair has announced he will stand down as prime minister on 27 June.
He made the announcement in a speech to party activists in his Sedgefield constituency, after earlier briefing the Cabinet on his plans.

The people don't elect the Prime Minister. The Party does. We didn't have one in 1990 when John Major replaced Margret Thatcher or when James Callaghan took over from Harold Wilson in 1976.
I don't think there should and there wont be a general election yet. Labour is broke, doesn't have enough money to fight an election yet. Plus they would lose if they held and election now and we would get the awful David Cameron as PM 
I think and hope Mr Brown will be a great PM. I think he has some genuinely good ideas. Such as Britains first written constitution and 5 new eco-towns.

I'm assuming harrykim already knew that and that he's British, hence why he said he things "we should" have a general election to decide the PM

I know that. I'm just saying that there is no precedent for an election when a new PM comes in.
