Blair was great in presidency...sorry, Prime Minister, how silly of me... in his early years. Coincedentally, these were the years when Brown was really running the country, when the 'special relationship' was Blair being Brown's, not Bush's lapdog. Roll on Bush and Blair has something he thinks is the best thing that happened to him. Now he's in the limelight, he's in control, he's the main man. Unfortunately, this also falls into where Britain comes apart, the legacy is tarnished, it's not all rosy. Had it not been for the complete and utter incompetence of the Tory party to actually function in politics, we wouldn't have to discuss Brown's leadership, we'd all have wind turbines and be burning our ties in Cameron's great revolt since 2005. Based on this, Brown will be a good leader, I mean, he's already done it, hasn't he?
