Quandary???

I have sat back and wondered why there seemed to be no real support or follow up articles on British PM Tony Blair's then pending re-election, and the subsequent loss of so many seats - roughly two-thirds of the majority of seats Labour enjoyed prior to the election. Too many blame the Iraq War, but that only had a partial impact. The War in Iraq no doubt is being credited as the main factor for the loss of seats, however, if this were truely the case, Blair would not still be the PM of Britain. This explanation is too convenient.

Joe posted an article in relationship to the Muslim networking and propaganda machine which totally stunned us both with its organisation and detail (the very same strategies and tactics are certainly being used by groups like La Raza - "The Race" - to flood the US with illegal Mexican immigrants and ultimately impact US elections.) The research involved in the breaking down of polling areas and the likely impact that Muslim votes would have upon those districts was in itself astounding. I personally was totally bewildered by the lack of response to his posting which started my rusting mind to kick into one of thought process. I asked myself lots of whys????, and still did not come up with a reasonable explanation as to the seemingly blase' attitude many have shown toward Blair's plight.

You may ask yourselves why I am rambling like this, to what purpose? I will outline a scenario, hopefully in a way that maybe you, the readers, will be able to fill in the gaps:

If Blair is voted through no confidence to step down from the office of Prime Minister
LONDON – No sooner had Tony Blair secured a historic third term for his Labour Party than the focus abruptly switched to who comes next. And when.
Where will this leave the current Iraq alliance with the US? To be realistic, the ousting of Blair to a menial role within the party will cause the opposition to exploit the removal and encourage them to follow the path of forcing the new PM to remove troops from Iraq. And believe me, there are more moonbats per square mile in the Commonwealth than the US.

Brits give Blair a bloody nose :
"'We've got to listen soberly and seriously to what the public are saying to us,' said Labor's Robin Cook, who resigned from his post as foreign secretary over the war."
Who can guarantee the new PM will support the war in Iraq? What would the impact be on the remaining allies in the War on Terror?

And, not that we really care one bit what the UN thinks, but how would they respond? However, imagine all of those weasels just waiting in the wings, ready to pounce in their cowardly fashion on any sign of a chink in the armour of the US.

Who else currently within Britain's Labour Party has the balls to stand up to not only the anti-war movement within his own country, but also the other European Countries and the terrorists themselves?

Speaking of the EU, ask yourself this: What impact could this have on the US dollar if Britain's new PM decides to toss the English pound for EU$'s? Remember, they are the only ones who although use EU$s, have not yet converted to the EU$.

This is only a very brief outline of a possible scenario that is not out the realm of possibility. I am sure you, the readers, will come up with further possibilities and the reaction to each action or non action. I get back to my point: Why is it that no one seems to be showing concern about Blair and his current position?

Read these articles and tell me if I am worrying unnecessarily:

Union urges Blair not to cling on:
"The leader of Britain's biggest private sector union has urged Prime Minister Tony Blair not to cling to power too long because it would be damaging."
Blair Faces Possible Leadership Challenge:
"Labour lawmakers, conscious that opinion polls have shown Brown to be a far more popular figure with the public than Blair, have demanded that this process happen sooner.

Austin said Blair should consider standing down after the Group of Eight (G8) summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, in July."
Labour MPs: Blair must go soon:
"LONDON, England -- Labour MPs have begun to call on Tony Blair to quit Downing Street long before he completes a full third term at Number 10."

Mae, don't worry, be happy. Blair won. The percentages don't matter.

Stan you miss my point, the percentages don't matter at all. As you say he won, however this is a parliamentary system, his own party can oust him anytime during the term of government by a vote of no confidence. This comes about by public pressure and the unions still are a huge driving force in the UK. Add to this that the party is not happy with his public appeal and there will be one already pre-selected to run against him as early as Dec of this year they want him out.

The bottom line is the party won, the party name the PM. The party giveth , the party taketh away; that simple and it happens often within this form of government.
