Has Tony Blair been a success or failure in being in charge of government policy for the UK?

Answer 1

success on a national level

Answer 2

Let's see

He's ripped off our pension funds and put millions of people's retirement at risk

The NHS is a bigger shambles than ever because the money is going into administration instead of patient care

Crime is spiralling out of control inspite of the "tough on crime" baloney

Unemployment is at desparate levels, hidden by the fact that 1 in 4 people are now employed by the civil service compared to 1 in 10 when Labour came to power.

And don't even get me started on Iraq

So in conclusion I'd have to say Tony Blair has been a failure - In fact make that absolute disaster!!

Answer 3

He has successfully been in charge of driving unsuccessful policies, both domestically at home and internationally.

He will be remembered for spin, becoming outright lies and deception, leading to an increase in terrorism, The lies about WMD leading to hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths and hundreds of our troops being killed for a lie. For the sleazy cover up of the murder of Dr Kelly and for record tax rises whilst having manufacturing suffering the fastest decline in years, the NHS failing, schools are a sick joke full of indoctrination and dumbing down and deliquency, violent crime rising, alcoholism and teenage Pregnancy increasing, violent 'chav' culture, the dome, hunduja Brothers, Mandleson, Clarke, and a host of sexual and financial sleaze that made John Major's Government seem whiter than white in comparison. Cash for Peerages, Bernies Millions, Prescott's cowboy outfits.

He will be remembered for putting the EU and then the US before British interests. He has served a foreign elite first second and third, The US fourth, the EU fifth, the labour party sixth and the people of Britain last. The man is a liar and a moral coward. He is clearly delusional and has strong stalinist tendencies in his constant desire to interfere and control every aspect of everyone's lives. The children's database that is a paedophile's wet dream, the ID card, detentions without charge or trial, the manditory taking of DNA to store on the national DNA database If you are arrested. Every human in the UK is now being treated as a potential terrorist and a servant to the state.

Blair sees himself as above the law and as some sort of Emperor, with a devine mission. it is a fantasy driven by that other delusional man with a messianic complex, GW Bush. If Blair didn't have so much power, over our lives, the man would be such a pathetic joke.

He is the weakest PM we have had in years. Even with a 60+ seat Majority in Parliament he has less control over his disintegrating party than John Major had over a tired fourth term minority Government.

Answer 4

he has proven to be an absolute and utter failure. the guy has lost all control, respect and authority, what with his ridiculous policies and scams; remember the millennium dome fiasco anyone? the Iraq war, immigration laws which he and this government have messed up in and countless others. what has he really achieved in his 9 years in charge? I'd say nothing. after years of conservative rule, labour's election in 1997 was supposed to have been and should be remembered as a new chapter written in Britain's political history book. but instead it has become one of ongoing battles and squabbles within the party, labour MPS turning against Blair and rightly so and the nation's standards going down the drain. i am however disappointed that we never got the opportunity to oust him from office because after the way labour have treated us and having turned Britain into a potential target for terrorists by means of getting involved in phoney Blair and poodle bush's war on terror, Blair would've been made to be pushed rather than jump, which he has done.

tony blair and labour under his leadership have turned Britain into a complete **** hole and as one of the most hated countries in the world, alongside the US and they have alienated communities to an extent with their erroneous policies, which seek to disseminate and divide people and literatelly tear them apart and further promote segregation and fear.

therefore, i'd say good riddance blair: the nation is going to be better off without that idiot in charge.

Answer 5

Regardless of any successes he has made, and I can't think of one at present, he will always be remembered for involving the UK in a war on terror that no-one wanted; with that in mind, he is a failure.

Answer 6

Following Bush blindly with his suicidal international policies has not helped. The man is a walking catastrophe in my opinion.

Answer 7

A complete failure, his ego is an order of magnitude greater than Robbie Williams' so he cannot admit this.

Answer 8

tell you what no president will ever be good enough for anyone irregardless of what they do. the UK is ruled by the media whatever they report on, the govt runs around like headless chickens but I feel he has done alot to help disabled people get more independent but obviously all would be overshadowed by Iraq and now Afghanistan its really sad

Answer 9

He's a success. He took the Labour party from the wilderness to 10+ years in power. If people think he's such a failure, they can vote Tory.

Answer 10

I don't really think he'll be remembered for any of his policies - he'll be remembered for 2 wars instead.

So I'd have to say Failure!!!

Answer 11

A miserable failure!!
