Just one question: do you think it's possible that one reason why Cameron is worried about Blair as a potential EU president is that his enraged backbenchers might, after the election, force a nuclear "in or out" referendum - something he does not want but the Lisbon Treaty, by a priceless irony, would make possible?The Half-Blood Welshmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072936624444891100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845739.post-55712480630538724972009-10-31T20:23:04.081+00:002009-10-31T20:23:04.081+00:00'The Tory leader may have copied much of Mr Bl...'The Tory leader may have copied much of Mr Blair’s style and many of his policies'<br /><br />Which policies did you have in mind?<br /><br />angry voterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845739.post-60794423758677445622009-10-31T10:42:45.006+00:002009-10-31T10:42:45.006+00:00Paul
