http://almostadiary.de/iraq/downing-street-number-1441-robin/ Tobias Schwarz's thoughts, opinions, and ideas of the moment Sat, 27 Jun 2009 09:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1-alpha http://almostadiary.de/iraq/downing-street-number-1441-robin/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Britishspin Thu, 03 Jun 2004 18:20:00 +0000 http://almostadiary.de/wordpress/?p=183#comment-37 Tobias,Came to your site through your comment on mine.. great design and better writing- I'll definitely be coming back. I think you;re wrong about the number rebelling tonight, I suspect that Blair will have a majority of the Labour vote and won't need tory MP's votes to carry. What is in play is whether a majority of the non-payroll vote will back the PM. That'll be close, though I think it'll actually be about the same size as last time- and possibly a tiny amount smaller.

It's fine to play down a leadership challenge, but would Tony want to lead a party that voted against him on this? I don't think so, and I'm sure most of his party MPs will think the same.
