It's not as though one needed an oracle to predict the future political prospects of Tony Blair. His Labour Party stands approximately the same chance of retaining a majority in Parliament as the British chapter of NAMBLA.
But, almost as if God felt like underscoring the point, local and EU elections in Britain this past weekend relegated Blair's party to an unprecedented third-place. This is roughly equivalent to the Republican Party pulling up third behind the Reform Party.
Whether or not this trend will carry over to the U.S. (where we seem, for some reason, to be proud of our lying moron of a leader instead of angry) remains to be seen. Suffice it to say, however, that if Bush wins in November it will be nothing short of a referendum on just how stupid the American public is, given that voters in Spain and Britain have already proven they are smart enough to make those accountable pay for the mess they created.

The problem here boys, is that we've got no-one better. The only party that can oust Labour is the Tory party, lead by Nosferatu, Lord of All That Is Dead, or Michael Howard, as he has named his human form. The other people that have managed to steal seats are the UK Independance party, whose objectives start and end with keeping the UK as backwards and secluded from the European mainland as possible.
I'm not entirely sure if they're ALL mindless bigots, but the figurehead for their party recently lost his job as a prime time TV presenter for writing a newspaper ccolumn along the lines of 'Coons – Do We Really Need 'em".
The BNP are also gaining support. They run on the basis that they don't like folk who aren't white.
Basically, it's all kinds of fucked up over here. The party I was relying on to do SOMETHING, anything at all, have not even been noticed in this round of voting. They're the Liberal Democrat party, and they're like your Democrats, but without the money or sex. They haven't been in power for nearly 100 years, but they have some reasonably nice ideas about trying to provide education and healthcare for people, and not following evereything George Bush says like lapdogs. Their leader appears as the host of a political satire show every now and then, and seems more like a human being than a politician.
