Tony Blair to Step Down

Quote:

If they really cared about the community shouldn't there be another party election now?

This is a party election we're talking about. Since Blair is resigning as Labour leader, the Labour Party is electing a new one. Since Labour forms the Government, the new leader become Prime Minister. And, since the current Parliament's term doesn't expire for another three years, there's no need to hold a new general election unless Labour wants to or if the Government loses the confidence of the House.

Since the incoming Brown Government will retain the confidence of the House, it doesn't need a new general election anymore than John Major needed one in 1990 or Shinzo Abe needed one last year.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
