I think Mr. Blair is great but I will be hoping for major Labour losses in the upcoming elections. Plus, telling people to vote Labour because they're the party of Blair (who is a great ally) doesn't make all that much sense seeing that his own party might be getting rid of him.
Vote Tory! 
Ummm, Tony Blair has said himself that he will not fight another general election - he will retire at one point during the next term so it won't necessarily be his party getting rid of him.
People have already addressed the issue of Portillo.
Phil, IDS was an awful Conservative leader, only the typical Tory voter liked him and that makes up a tiny minority of the country, not enough to win a general election.
