It's also likely that his own party are pushing him out "behind the scenes" because of this, hopeing to have him gone and forgotten and a new leader and new immage in place for the next election.

Blair said during the last election thet he'd be stepping down in the near future but hadn't set a date. Last weeks local elections had nothing to do with it.

I look at Blair and I see shades of Ronald Reagon but with a British accent.
My understanding is that the biggest real issue people have with him is his alliance he had with Bush. Well if there was no Bush, do you think he would be more Popular in the UK?

yes and no, the whole Bush puppet, and iraq war issue tends to eclipse his earlier problems with spin (alistair campbell anyone?) the fuel tax problem, and then theirs the the whole cash for peerage scandal that's yet to be decided.

That's more to do with New Labour [or neo conservatives] as a whole reflecting badly on Tony Blair as their front-man. Blair being Bush's comedy sidekick is the main issue concerning him specifically.

And apparently, he is to devote the rest of his days attempting to unite Christians, Muslims and Jews.

That IMHO pretty much sums up Blair...he did more for this country than Hitler ever could have done....
