How to remove Blair

Mike Brady | 20.09.2004 11:09

Blair is not the President of the UK, he's MP for Sedgefield. Labour could win by a landslide, but Blair won't be Prime Minister if his constituents choose a 'Blair Out' candidate. Here's how to do it. Please give feedback and let me know if anyone wants to help put up a website and campaign to get this off the ground, or if someone thought of it long ago and the strategy is already being implemented.

It is a realistic fear that Labour Party members will not campaign and
supporters will not vote because they want to send a message to Blair and who knows who that will end up letting into Parliament. Labour Party members and supporters could work overtime for a Labour victory and still send a message that
will see Blair lose his job. All we need to do is to remember Blair is not
the President of the UK, he is the MP for Sedgefield. Labour could win by a
landslide, but if voters in Sedgefield elect another candidate, Blair is out
of number 10. True, he won the seat in 2001 with 64.9% of the vote, but then
he was popular and was not faced with a single 'Blair Out' opponent.

So Labour Party members and supporters, do all you can to secure a third
Labour term, but at the same time send three letters. One each to the
Conservative and LibDem offices in Sedgefield calling for them to stand down
their candidates in favour of a Martin Bell-type independent (perhaps Martin
Bell himself, if he wants the job). Send a third letter to the Northern
Echo, the local newspaper covering Sedgefield, saying you have done this and
are appealing to all voters in Sedgefield to take action on behalf of the
country as a whole and vote for the the 'Blair Out' candidate. Supporters
of other parties can do the same as course, though they may be less
keen to see an unpopular leader removed from the Labour party. If he feels
threatened, Blair can put out his own call asking for letters to be sent to
the Northern Echo saying 'Vote Blair'. Daily totals could be published up
until election day as a useful guide to constituents of the country's mood.

The day after the election there will, of course, be a crisis as John
Prescott, deputy leader, assumes control while Brown, Milburn, Blunkett and
who knows who else scrambles for top slot in a leadership election. Though
it may well be unedifying, it will be chaos of a far gentler kind to that
following Saddam's fall and surely a price worth paying to restore the will of the people, which is for Blair to go.
