The motion calling on Oxford City Council to support the impeachment of Tony Blair (and the amendment to impeach Andrew Smith) fell today, due to abstentions and opposition from the Liberal Democrats.

The motion calling on Oxford City Council to support the impeachment of Tony Blair (and the amendment to impeach Andrew Smith) fell today, due to abstentions and opposition from the Liberal Democrats. Despite their 'anti-war' stance, when push came to shove the Lib Dems voted for, against and abstained in almost exactly equal numbers. The IWCA also abstained.

The motion to impeach Andrew Smith was defeated 13 to 17.
The motion to impeach Tony Blair was defeated 13 to 18.

I can post up how individual councillors voted if people are interested.

Sorry I can't write anymore, I am gutted.
