The Labour Party will suffer the same fate as the Republicans because of Blair.

If Blair stayed in power until the next General Election then I think the answer to your question would be a resounding 'Yes'. However, by that time, Gordon Brown is likely to be the new Prime Minister, hence the election is more likely to be fought on the usual grounds. But the legacy of Blair taking the UK into the USA's stupid, unwinnable war in Iraq will undoubtedly have some negative effect on Labour's chances of re-election. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what happens....

Blair will have gone by the time of the next General Election. However, the Labour Party's behaviour concerning Iraq (and Afghanistan) will cost them many votes, just as Iraq cost the United States Republicans.

The Labour Party are already in battle mode to prevent their world from imploding, but a lot of people are going to vote for anyone but Labour. The problem is that there is not one SINGLE party at the moment with the policies to destroy them, even though they deserve it.
We have more taxes in this country than any other and get less for it, how stupid are we that we accept this. Are you really happy paying about 45 - 50% of your wages each month in direct and stealth taxes?
NO
Then do or say something about it

I wouldnt say it will be entirely down to Blair, I mean - do you really want Brown as PM? The majority of Labours offerings are usesless.

Labour will be punished for its arrogance, corruption and incompetence. The party is already barely able to function and even talk to each other. It is all downhill from here.

Yes.
This will pass to the next leader because they were all too slack to appose him.
Except Robin Cook.
