    Ah yes, those terrible Blair years. If only the Major government had kept going for longer.

      where from my comment did you get that I think major was better

      anyway there’s a reason Blair is not very popular anymore, unlike when he won in '97. the Iraq War was not very good imo

        I don’t know. He was re-elected with a majority of 66 in 2005, two years after Iraq started, and then in 2007 the Labour party membership forced him out in favour of Brown, who promptly lost the 2010 election to the Tories.

        I’ll take Blair Mk II in office over Corbyn in opposition any day.
