Ya know I think the poll might be a little, and I mean a LITTLE,( )<---That much, biased. A few more positive thoughts on Blair wouldn't hurt now would it?
Nice non-biased poll you have there. Also, thanks for all the pertinent and relavent talking points you brought up thus ensuring we could engage in lively and intelligent conversation.
Come back when you are a few years older and about 30 points higher on the IQ scale.

I quite liked Blair, good speaker, did a lot of good things, his only really big mistake being to follow the American government into their silly little war. I think it'd be great to have a charismatic British speaker as the head of a largely useless organisation.
Blair did alot to modernise and streamline politics in the UK and devolved power away from the centre to the Scots and Welsh, if he could do the same To the EU then he will have improved it 10 fold.
Having said this, it would have to be a directly elected position to have any ligitimacy in my eyes, and the danger of that is that each country votes for its country's own candidate, and it ends up with the country with the highest population (i.e germany) deciding the vote. Unless they use more complicated and balanced voting system such as Single Transferable Vote or Aditional Member.

I dont understand this not enough information is given, what does the osition entail what power/authority, how would the position be decided vote? representation? how do you keep it neutral and fair? Is it only limited to former leaders? If so I can understand why they would pick blair, would you rather have oh say.... Thatcher representing the country EVER again?
And Blair was not a bad politician he was spinless and did not listen to his people but the worst? Are you kidding? Thatcher and Brown are the two worst things to ever hit this country a nuke would have done less damage collectivley than those two.

In the interest of a fair and scientific poll could you not have put in a range of views rather than your own 5 times??
At least he was (ignoring the intricacies of the British electoral system) chosen by the general public.
(I'm simplifying and my wording is wrong but it's easier than explaning the quagmire of precedant that is British Law)

Where's the super Evil option. I'm upset that I could only pick Evil. It doesn't fully represent my view.
