Is This the Endgame For Tony Blair?

摘要

Former labour party boss Kinnock and Former Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healey recently suggested that beleaguered British Prime Minister Tony Blair consider stepping aside. Their comments were seen as a sign of a possible deal clearing the way for the current Chancellor Gordon Brown to succeed Blair as Labour's leader. Meanwhile, a group of Labour backbenchers-who voted earlier this year against government plans to increase university fees-are calling their once-popular leader an electoral liability. Some even want Brown, not Blair, to lead them into the next general election.
