Say Goodbye to Tony Blair

May 23rd, 2007 Shobe_ceo

Goodbye Tony Blair Yes, 54 years old Prime Minister Tony Blair is set to go on June 27, 2007! He filed his letter of intention to resign as Labour Part Leader last May 10, 2007 to his constituency of Sedgefield.

Tony Blair succeeded John Smith, upon his death, as leader of the British Labour Party last July 1994. During his term, the party abandoned many decades-old policy goals. Blair was indeed, exemplary in his field. As New York Times said, “Tony Blair swept into office in 1997 in a burst of youthful exuberance, and in his early years as prime minister it seemed that he could reshape his country and its politics on the strength of his inexhaustible energy, unflagging smile and seemingly limitless charm alone.”

Blair is the longest-serving prime minister of the Labour Party. He was the only person to have led the party to three consecutive general election victories, and the only Labour prime minister to serve more than one full consecutive term. He did exceptionally well as a prime minister and he will surely be missed.

Gordon Brown, previously considered for the position of Prime Minister upon Smith’s death, is to take over Blair’s seat starting June 27, 2007.

Farewell to Tony Blair as Prime Minister of United Kingdom. Welcome back to the plain and simple life!
