Also, I'm not sure what effect this will have on Conservative Party prospects. If I imagine that Bill Clinton had been a moral, principled, genuinely believing Christian, who stood up to his own party and the "polls", it would have made him a very difficult man to dislike, much less hate. The fact that he was and is none of those things is a major factor in the decline of the democratic party. If it weren't for the damage he caused, we'd almost have to be grateful for his being on the scene.
Blair, it seems, presents some real problems for the conservative movement in Britain. Do you agree?
Agreed. If Blair was totally bad, it would be much easier to oppose him. Because he does some conservative things, it's hard to be an "Opposition" all the time.
