# why wait till he leaves office?
it really baffles me why so many people leave the Labour party cos they don't like Blair.

If you don't like him (and I'm none to keen on the two faced git), stay in the Labour party where your protests will be heard more clearly.

# true
but some of the people who are leaving are the kind of people who could make a difference (influential journalists and whatnot). And if one person is making a fuss, there's an extra option: tacit support. It's cheap, it's easy and it makes a difference.

# The problem is the Labour Party isn't the 'Labour' Party anymore
Tony Blair isn't just the figurehead of this new Thatcherite party he's the whole reason for it's exsistance. Even without him it wouldn't be the Labour Party - people need to move on and find a genuine socialist alternative.

# now, there's a whole host of reasons why I disagree with anyone saying Labour is "just as bad as Thatcher"
but I'll stick to muttering "Sure Start".

And if you don't vote for anyone, then I'll be blaming you if the Tories get in.

# Then you're a fool
you blame those who have become disenfranchised rather than blame the system and the fact that genuine socialists are kept out of democratic process. Blame me if you like but you'd be wrong to do so, and carry on in you delusion that the Labour Party will come good eventually. I'll stick to Trade Unionism from the rank & file!

# fair enough
at least you're doing something
