How To Vote Against Blair

David Cameron and numerous of those around him are far closer to Tony Blair and to his old court than Gordon Brown ever was, and are therefore far more to blame for the Iraq War.

Of MPs even vaguely associated with Blair, only David Miliband is still in any position of note, and most people, possibly including himself, probably do not know that he is. Most of the rest are not even standing again, and none will ever again be a Minister. Whereas Cameron is surrounded by figures from the Blair years, including those nominally sitting as Tory MPs at the time.

If you rightly want to vote against Blair, and if you have not got your act together sufficiently to organise a serious candidate where you live, then it is clear which of Tory and Labour you have to vote this year. Of those two options, it is obvious which is less preferred, to put it at its very mildest, by the Butcher of Fallujah.
