Blair is facing a Labour revolt over this.
It is my hope that this triangulation will fail and the Tories+Unionists will sweep the fractured Labour+Liberal Parties coalition.

Blair is facing a Labour revolt over this.

Indeed. But he's showing genuine guts in facing them down. Fortunately he got one of the most left wing members of the cabinet, John Prescott, to support him. I think he's going to win this one.

And in the glow of victory, basically the Labour Party will be bent to his will. Which is really rather funny. ;)
