This video perfectly represents Blair's prowess and skill - not at governing, but at pandering to the media and gaining support amongst the shallow and stupid

@UnitedBritannia not to mention thatcher was so polarised, blair adapted and therfore won MORE votes then magret hitler thatcher ever did.....his economic policy with brown meant blair presided over an equally good a standard of growth as thatcher did, 2.6million jobs went under blair and 3.2million went under thatcher, do the homework. And this is why politics is so bad because know one ever agrees with eatchover...

Economic Policies of Margaret Thatcher's administration.by UnitedBritannia24,859 views
Tony Blair, if you forget about the Iraq war, was one of the best Prime Ministers.

@ToaJoe But why? What was actually achieved during his premiership? He didn't have the political courage to reform our public services to prepare them for the 21st century - his was a government that presided over falling standards and continued an idiotic policy of simply throwing huge amounts of tax payers money at the problem. His economic polices also allowed the economy to become dangerously unbalanced - more industrial jobs were lost under him than Mrs. Thatcher.

@UnitedBritannia so i guess you must be enjoying the con-lib dem coalition

@arsenalmanz I think there is very little to 'enjoy' at the moment, this is a country attempting to work itself back to real and lasting prosperity after the mirage of Labour "growth" (i.e. spend beyond your means, even at the peak of an unsustainable boom). But do I support the coalition, which represents the only viable option for taking this country back to economic sanity, absoloutley.
