Poll: British PM Blair should quit

September 07, 2003
BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair should resign over the death of weapons expert David Kelly, according to a poll published today.

A YouGov poll for The Mail on Sunday showed that the revelations thrown up by the Hutton Inquiry, set up after Kelly's apparent suicide, have damaged Blair, with 43 per cent of voters believing he should quit, compared with 37 per cent before the hearing opened.

A total of 42 per cent believed he should stay in office while 15 per cent were unsure.
Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon also has suffered as a result of the inquiry into the believed scientist's suicide, with 62 per cent calling for his resignation and only 14 per cent wanting him to stay.
Significantly, while Labour voters rallied round Blair in the poll, 41 per cent of the party's supporters wanted Hoon to resign, with only 30 per cent believing he should stay.

Forty-nine per cent nevertheless thought the US and Britain were right to go to war in Iraq, but crucially 41 per cent believed ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction when military action began, compared with 37 per cent who thought he did.

2. The Poodle's Master, George Bush, needs to resign as well.

Actually, both Poodle and Master need to be tried for treason.

3. We should look forward to a similar US poll concerning our misleader

I still cannot believe that Blair and Bush -- both products of a process of nominally free elections -- would lie in order to justify war. (Well, in the Frat Boy's case, very nominally free.)

There is a place we would like them both to visit -- along with several of their friends -- in order to arrange retirement facilties.
