I know this will sound like heresy to you Fred, but I actually like the guy. His courage at facing off the criticisms and pressures of his own party, his own country, to do what he felt was the right thing, shows he is not a weak spined populist, but an idealist of incredible strength of character.
You may not agree with his policies, or find his manner appeals to you, but how can you not say he has admirable qualities as a human being.
I actually like his manner, but that's just me. The fibre of his convictions and his willingness to face off opposition are esteemable in my opinion.
He's not alone. Gorbachev was reviled in Russia, and a hero outside. Clinton was much more popular in places like Australia than in his home country.
And look at Queen Lizzy? She's so popular other countries like Australia and New Zealand put her on their currency! How did that happen?
So I reckon... Blair for leader of the Union of Anglica!!
