What to do with the drunken failiure?

Stubborn Blair

The Indepedent above, have their take on the news that all the papers share today.

In the best analysis, by those who know him well, Blair is "Drunk with Power". Like Margaret Thatcher before him, the Prime Preacher has retreated into a private world of delusion far beyond the pale. The neo-dictatorship of the Iron Lady came to an end thanks to built-in mechanisms within her own party which facilitated disposal of an obselete leader. Sadly, Blair's party have no such safeguards to prevent their incumbant leader wandering off into cloud-cuckoo-land.

Were such a person as Blair exibiting this kind of behaviour as an ordinary citizen inter-acting (or lack of it) within everyday society, he would most likely have been "sectioned" under the Mental Health Acts. Allowed to run wild, he is certainly a danger to the greater good.

Much is made of this latest long-overdue rebellion de-stabilising the Labour Party, but the pundits are probably missing the point. Everyday the party struggles with its uncontrollable leader, the greater it is damaged. The need to remedy the situation quickly is paramount - however messy.

The British, including Labour Party members and voters, are fed up with being dragged into calamity after calamity by a managing director who has become little more than a slave to the Amerikan Empire. Acknowleging his tenure will end at some vague future point is not enough - effective administration requires finality and renewal. Blair's complacent mind-set has moved to a place where acknowledging this apparantly impossible.

For the good of the country, maybe Labour need to put partisan politics aside for a moment and bring a vote of no confidence into the greater parliament. Whether the opposition would lend themselves to such a motion of course is debatable.. In many ways, the greater interests of the LibDems and Conservatives are best served by a continuance of the current blinded regime.

Meanwhile the party conference season approaches. Could be fun! Could be tragic! We'll see.

Later.
