Blair Approval Rating Falls to 28% in Britain
February 27, 2006

(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Few adults in Britain are content with Tony Blair, according to a poll by Ipsos-MORI published in The Sun. 28 per cent of respondents are satisfied with their prime minister’s performance, down nine points since November.

In May 2005, British voters renewed the House of Commons. The governing Labour party secured 356 seats, followed by the Conservatives with 197 and the Liberal Democrats with 62. Blair has served as prime minister since 1997.

In October 2004, Blair announced that he would retire at the end of his third term. Current chancellor of the exchequer Gordon Brown has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Blair.

4. I suspect that Britons would rather elect the Labour Party...

than the Torries (conservatives), but in a parliamentary system it's a package deal, and Blair's the leader. The Labour MPs need to toss Tony the Tiger out on his ass.
