The link in the first post is humourous in that no-one really cares about the supposedly serious side of the issue.

I don't care about his ministers, but if Blair would get lost, now that would be awesome.

Yea, let's troll, this is Ming-free zone .
Btw, Markos, why is half of your new site in Greek and filled with letters, my old math teacher (may he rest in peace) tortured me with?
EDIT: Duh, that was a response to Spiff, but got out of context. This thread is filling quickly...

I guess I don't get it. None of these 3 ministers seem to be anybody important and everybody still is bleeting on and on about how Blair is in trouble.
Have I misunderstood the situation?

The German minister, who out of pure dumbness compared Bush with Hitler (not even very clearly) half a year ago, also was nobody of any importance. You should have heard the Americans bleeting on and on that time.

Blair should become a Tory, he's got bigger balls than the Whig quitterers.

?
When 3 members of the government itself and 1/3 of the government's members are voting against it, the government is in trouble.
For that many people to go against party loyalty means that the party is seriously divided. I wonder what's going to happen at the next labour leadership convention...

What is "ki" in modern Greek?
(I read Classical Greek but this stuff looks like poorly spelt Classical Greek so I'm assuming things have changed quite radically)

Parliament would have to call a vote of no confidence to force Blair out.
