Hi Snugs...Hope you're fine this evening!

I have a funny question. I am sure you are somewhat excited about Blair's departure in the spring. Although he has been a great ally in the WOT, he is not a conservative, so for me it is certainly a bitter sweet thing knowing how eager you are for conservative leadership.

So here is my question: If he leaves and his successor is weak, what are the chances that eventually there will be an election in which conservatives regain control and that they remain tough in the WOT?

That was kind of convoluted, but I think you get what I mean. : D. I'm still trying to get a grasp of just how your politics work.

We are not due to have elections for nearly 4 years so in theory the current labour government can remain in power for that period of time.

With the majority in the house it is unlikely that a vote of no confidence can be obtained by the opposition parties to force a general election. However if Brown takes over as PM he may wish to call a general election in a couple of years if he feels he will win to give himself a mandate from the country so to speak.

For your information our government including the PM are made up on MPs who continue to serve as MPs as well as running a government department and their cabinet duties.
