I don't understand how we're supposed to vote for a party where the leader has already announced that he is going to resign. But without saying when. Is the bloody and messy business of the leadership challenge going to come in 5 years? Or is it actually in 1 month? Not even they know. So how can we vote for them when we don't know and cannot know what we're voting for.This seems such an obvious point to me that I don't understand why the opposition parties aren't playing it for all it's worth.Now while I applaud BackingBlair's motives of Labour in - Blair Out, I wonder about the mechanics. Is the Labour party actually going to have Blair resign, call off the election, elect a new leader and then recall the election? That seems about as likely as Veritas winning a majority.So is the actual plan for Labour to win with a tiny majority and for them to understand that it was all Tony's fault. Thus forcing the leadership crisis early rather than late, closely followed by another election? That'll be good for the country. Oh yes.Like I said, I must be politically naive.

You wouldn't believe the stick I've had on the forums I frequent where I've been preaching the backingblair gospel but in future to avoid threadrot I'l just send them here. Great post indeed!
