question from an american

i have a question for my British brothers and sisters

please, i am confused about the Make Poverty History event. it seems that it was created by Blair. how did the local activists view the event? was it a true democratic expression of the peoples' will or was it a cooptation of the movement.

it is not so clear from across the earth.
