Labour supporters resent the fact that he made Labour electable by turning it into a Conservative party. Conservatives resent the fact that he nicked the centre ground and made their policies work. Certainly, things for Blair unravelled with the Iraq War. I personally find what he did so strange that there must be more to it than we know. When the Cabinet papers are released in 30 (maybe 100) years, I reckon that there will be a bombshell. For instance, MI5 may have discovered payment for one of the 36 Soviet suitcase nukes that have gone missing on a Baghdad branch of a bank. Uns.
