You know, if it was really because of the war, one would not expect the Tories to be gaining.
It would be the Liberal Democrats.
Since the Tories - who supported the war - are gaining, it must be something else.
Great minds think alike.
If I were a Brit, I'd be a Tory, so I don't mind this turn of events. But Blair was a courageous leader in doing the right thing despite the polls and I hate to see the left in his own party trying to bring him down. They'll bring down what had been an unassailable majority with Blair, but I'm resigned to watching lefty politicians do stupid things in both the US and Britain.
