A discussion about Tony Blair and British Politics.

Tony's full name is Anthony Charles Lynton Blair and he was born on May 6th, 1953. He is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (which also makes him First Lord of the Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service, Leader of the Labour Party, and Member of Parliament). As a member of the British Cabinet he is also a Privy Counsellor.

Tony will be leaving 10 Downing Street soon, as he steps down and transitions out of politics.

Tony Blair's Approval Rating

In May 2006, the Daily Telegraph reported that Tony Blair's personal approval rating had dipped to just 26 per cent, lower than Harold Wilson's rating after devaluation of the pound and James Callaghan's during the Winter of Discontent, meaning that Blair had become the most unpopular post-war Labour Prime Minister. Of all British Prime Ministers, only Margaret Thatcher and John Major have recorded lower approval (the former in the aftermath of the Poll Tax Riots). Previously Blair had achieved the highest approval ratings of any British Prime Minister of either party in the months following his election in 1997.
