Reply #29: There is nobody in the Labour party who could pick up from where Labour [View All]

is today and carry it forward without interruption if Blair were dumped.

If Labour turn its back on Blair, Labour will have a problem. Labour would be better off redeeming Blair (or allowing him to redeem himself) and then have him not run for reelection.

That's the deal the party should cut. They need to run on Labour's successes under Blair, or they lose. It's like Gore turning his back on Clinton. Labour should NOT make that stupid mistake.

Blair has done 1000000 good things for Britain and, literally, maybe 4 bad things (and, in that sense, has been much better for Britain than Clinton was for the US). You turn your back on him or you turn your back on all the good things. As Gore should have done, you need to embrace the good stuff or people don't understand its value.
