Very good. It amazes me the stick Blair gets, whatever anyone says he really did get things done. Comparing the Thatcher years to the Blairs years is insane. Then there was Gordon Brown who was always a nice man and very statesman like. Ahhhh what happened... For Tony I could say the Iraq war obviously, but that didn't stop his election success, he never did lose. Then Gordon it was the global financial crisis, he never defended himself well on that but as it turns out bailing out the banks was the right thing to do. To go from Blairs 418seats (the most Labours ever had) to 232 in less than 20 years is insane. I'm going to stay with the party whatever the leadership result is but I'm very worried for our future.

***** Actually, President Lyndon Johnson put massive pressure on Wilson to send troops to Vietnam. Denying this is ignoring history. Wilson's excuse was the British military commitments to the Malayan Emergency. In private, Wilson was starkly anti-war, as was most of the Labour Party at the time. He still got a lot of stick for supporting the US's effort, but had it been Blair we may have had a whole generation scared by Vietnam, as in America. Blair did some great things in government but made an absolute mess in terms of foreign policy, especially in Iraq. And for a Labour PM, he came way too close to George W Bush; someone who makes Thatcher look like a moderate. No progressive cause will be furthered by aligning with quasi-fascists.

Its interesting that they are talking about the 1992 UK LAB leadership election where John Smith was elected as LAB leader. According to the film "The Deal" in 1992 Tony Blair pushed Gordon Brown to run against Smith which Brown turned down. And then in 1994 Blair ran for the LAB leader after Smith passed away unexpectedly and it seems Blair made a "deal" with Brown for Brown to step aside for Blair in return for Blair's support for Brown to be his successor.

These two were unstoppable in their time. A charismatic, articulate frontman with a highly analytical, intelligent and humble man side by side. Blair doesn’t get the credit for things he achieved in government and Brown equally so for saving the entire world from financial collapse. Things can only get better - well they did with these two gentlemen at the helm.

What's interesting watching this is that we now know that both Brown and Blair were already frustrated that John Smith wasn't enough of a moderniser. They were both worried that the Labour Party needed to change to be truly electable and that Smith thought that he could win by playing it safe. In retrospect, both sides were sort of right. There was a lot more that could and should have been done to modernise Labour, but the truth is that the Tories were in such a state that Smith's strategy would almost certainly have worked.
