Politics

Yesterday, on [livejournal.com profile] autopope's journal I said:
If Tony Blair lasts out the next couple of months without a challenge from someone I'll be extremely surprised.


and lo and behold today The Guardian reports:

If Mr Blair does not bow to the pressure backbench MPs intend to publish a letter, possibly by the end of next week, with as many as 75 signatures calling on him to agree the transition or face a formal challenge.


So - any bets on how much longer he lasts?

You forgot the "I don't live in the UK" option.

If you want to try playing this with more people, take a look at the Foresight Exchange.

I only clicked on "one month" because I expect him to last out this week, but probably not to last out the month of May.

Lame duck. The carving knives are already gleaming and polished sharp.
