President Blair.
Having left the crowd wanting more, I suppose it's a natural enough ambition on his part. He's got less self-awareness than Duncan Fletcher.
A few bizarre newspaper columns along the lines of yeah-I-know-about-Iraq-but-he's-a-heavyweight. Presumably there's no one around with a bit of gravitas who hasn't launched 2 disastrous wars. Wouldn't this historic position not be worth someone resigning from a senior place in national government to take on?
And of all the policy failures he had (on his own terms, let alone anyone else's) EU policy was the most striking. No single currency for Britain and lots of pissing off other members. It's amazing to recall he once won something called the Charlemagne Prize for being a good European.
And worst of all, we'll get tons of "Blair/Brown" crap. That's what's really important in politics.
Grim times.
