It’s a trifecta!

Blair has a reduced majority but a majority of 58 seats is still a majority. Of the 646 seats in the British parliament, 552 have gone to parties who supported the Iraq war and 62 have gone to those who opposed it. Not that the MSM will put it that way. Most are concentrating on his loss of seats. Paul Reynolds at the BBC says;

The clipping of Tony Blair’s wings by a British electorate angry over Iraq probably means that the highly activist and interventionist foreign policy which marked his first two terms will be diminished.

Maybe, but the job in Iraq isn’t finished. Everybody will take a different spin on the results from Blair had his nose bloodied to Historic third term win. Either way he is still in power. The three countries of the Anglosphere that are fighting for a democracy in Iraq have all had their governments returned, much to the chagrin of the Left and the relief of those who know that democracy is worth fighting for.
