Blair was a relatively good Prime Minister. He was an excellent speaker, and, although people might point the finger at Labour for the current economic downturn, people are quick to forget the years of prosperity we had beforehand.
Don't forget, during those 'years of prosperity' (created on the back of an out-of-control finance industry and the biggest housing price bubble in living memory) they also sold/privatised anything not nailed down. But even despite that they still couldn't balance a budget, so increasing the national debt greatly.
And despite spending so much money, we don't even have anything to show for it. (except failing targets/stats obsessed NHS, councils and education system.)
And thats before you even start mentioning the horrors of blindly following America into wars, the horrible expences mess (they certainly didn't lift a finger to stop it) and also enforcing a surveillance state on the UK
I simply can't think of the right words to explain how much i hate what labour (and so Blair/Brown) have done to the country.
Sad thing is, the main opposition (tories) are going to be very similar when they get in power (as Labour spent the past decade ineptly trying to copy them).
*sigh*
At least the USA has two main parties with differing views, we don't even get that anymore.
