With any luck, we can now get rid of him. Problem is, if we do, the UK political environment will become unstable. It'll never happen.<br><br>But what are your thoughts on the matter?
The end is nigh!

In my book, you can't impeach someone just for not being very good. :)<br><br>I'd consider the main problem to be that Britain's two main parties are both on the right. >.>

I don't see this getting past the headlines, but it's a nice idea <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>As for the reason for impeachment, it's mainly that he misled the British public and Parliament into unnecessary and costly military action that, while not being as damaging to our public image as it was to America, has still affected our position on the world stage.<br><br>A war for our own personal protection would be grudgingly supported I think, but this is meant to be a democracy, and we were railroaded into the Iraqi conflict.
Oh dear lord sig is fubar. o_o

Well, techinically, the UK is not a Democracy but a benevolent Oligarchy selected by the people. Parliament is far less limited in what it can do than Congress, and Tony Blair has quite a bit more influence over Parliament than George Bush does over the Legislative or Judicial branches.
