Remember - There will be a General Election in Britain in February - May 2005.
Apart from everything else Blair has done to make us unhappy with him he is also Bush's closest ally. People can use this opportunity to give him a hard kick and wake up call and hopefully the publics combined strength and voting power over here might even weaken Blair enough that he has to adopt a hung government that certainly wouldn't stand for supporting Bush's wars or maybe even remove him from office completely.
Here's hoping.

I do honestly believe that everyone dissatisfied with the Blair government and not wanting to return the Conservatives to power (like they would be in contention anyway these days...) should go out and vote LibDem.
Alternatively vote Green if you really don't like the LibDems but want to make a protest vote.
LibDems have a great opportunity in 2005 to really shake up the British politically system. I'll certainly be doing my campaigning part for them.
Michael Howard is a complete tool in my opinion, but Bush really doesn't like him either.
I just hope that whatever happens, it's not the poor bastards in Iraq that have to pay the price, they've been through enough already.
They might not get enough votes to become the majority but I do feel they can corrode Labours support base enough that we could face a hung-parliament next year.
Especially if Kilroy-Silk shuts up and allows UKIP to further corrode the Conservatives power base.
Best to vote strategically.
I vote lib dem here because they're the only ones that stand a chance against the Tories.
Blair isn't Labour, Labour isn't Blair.
If only there was a way to rejuvenate Tony Benn.
As much as I'm anti-far right having a far-right party that is doing fairly well and ends up splitting the Conservative vote is something I'm happy with. It means that both end up polling lower because of this split vote.
Blair isn't Labour. Most of Labour AREN'T Labour these days. The LibDems are sadly the most left-wing major party in British politics today which sucks (I'm very happy with LibDem being considered more centre). I would love to see a good, strong, Socialist party enter the fray and take back the votes which they deserve but Labour gets.
If enough 'anti Labour' votes were cast, a hung parliment would be the most likely outcome. Still likely to be a labour government, but held in check.
That and the Lib Dem's ongoing demand in return for their support has been electoral reform. Imagine! A system where your vote DORS matter.
"Vote Lib Dem - They're nice people." Has a nice ring to it as a csmpaign slogan...
