Will he or won't he?

There seems to be some speculation that Blair could resign early next week just prior to the local elections. A claim denied by Downing St. Read here.

I would envisage that on their travels a few local candidates have had some feedback from the people regarding our beloved leader. I wonder what was said.

I've never heard of so many people being -ve about our current government. Of course, the Internet must be part of that reason but whatever it is our locals around here, except for the few die hards, only have bad things to say. But even so, considering that our government is the most unpopular ever, Cameron still can't get a clear feeling of superiority. His comments last week on being involved in society were one of the few things that he has said that actually sounds +ve. must be an election coming.

So will Blair go or not. I don't think so. the reason being is that he doesn't think he has done any wrong nor does he really care about the local politics as they have been effectively neutralised by central government rules and funding so that no matter who gets in it won't make much difference. It may be better for the Labour party but that's not high on Blair's agenda.

So if Labour gets hammered then he will go to save the Labour party's future hoping that it will make a difference for the real elections, not that he will care. If he doesn't go he will surely get knifed in the back. (Note to self : control my imagination). However, if they win, or even draw even with no outright winner. He will see that as a mandate to stay a little longer. It's the will of the people you know. Of course in that eventuality Cameron will be the one going. Oh, so many things hinge on next week. I just don't know what to do.
