Andrew Marr's analysis of Tony Blair and the Labour party is interesting reading, looking at some of the possible outcomes for the Labour party. I was struck by a thought that if the war goes badly or their is a restless peace in the middle east, the Liberal Democrats could come out at the next election with more of the disaffected Labour supporters. Andrew Marr posits that there is a split in support for war within the Labour party, between male v female and middle v working class. The university and affluent constituencies being more likely to be antiwar. Food for thought I suppose, certainly there is relatively little distance in political thought between the two parties, with Labour having stolen the pick of LibDem policy. If anything the Liberals are further left than Tony is.
