The Blame Game

This is an interesting article in the Independent. The final paragraph shows how deluded Blair is:

"Mr Blair is convinced that Labour's slide in the polls is due to self-inflicted wounds rather than a Tory advance. Aides said that Labour had slipped because of infighting over how long Mr Blair should remain on Downing Street, and after an attempted coup against him last autumn."

It is true that a large part of the change in the polls is self-inflicted, but not because of the farce that is Tony Blair's succession, but because they have failed to deliver and have taken the issue of sleaze to a whole new level, despite promising to be "whiter than white."

However, the Conservatives would not be where they are in the polls without the changes and improvements made by David Cameron. I hope Blair and Brown continue to blame themselves and keep ignoring how much the Conservatives have improved.
