"Do the opinions of former PMs ever hold much sway over current voters? I can't imagine any of them influencing my vote. "
Gordon Brown's contribution did much to secure the Referendum No vote. |

That's true, I'd forgotten about that |

Let's face it, he carries more weight on political issues than our current prime minster.
Even his own party think so - Gove kept referring to Tony as 'the Prime Minister' on Radio Four just now. They would kill Cameron themselves if TB would promise to lead the Tories.  |

as important as it is... its been overlooked big time |

Thatcher did say that Blair was one of the most popular Conservative PMs ever.

Phoney Blair talking about Foreign Policy that a fking laugh.
He was Bushes Puppet the worst President the US have ever seen.and helped us get into wars that didn't concern us.
He is the reason that we have bad foreign policy. |

Tony Blair is a public school and university educated career politician that surrounded himself with people who are good at communications and public relations. I would put the likes of Peter Mandleson and Alistair Campbell as the brains behind Blair and his reforming of the Labour Party to look like the Tory Party!
For my part I would never trust my vote to a man who thought George W Bush was a credible leader of the free world. I don't like jumping on bandwagons but it does seem that Mr Blair is feathering his own nest from his political exploits. As to his contribution today I happen to agree that leaving the EU is not good for Britain. That said I also agree with Marx and Engels economic theory on the redistribution of wealth! |

its not only in the last 13 years that we have had 'bad foreign policy'..
history is littered with examples of it..
Suez for one.. |

I can't think of any example of a former high ranking politician having any sort of sway in influencing elections.
Aung San Suu Kyi is the only statesperson alive I can think of who could influence elections in their country by convincing people. |

Disclaimer : I don't and never have liked the smarmy cunt. That was even before he became a war criminal.
Anyone who votes for Labour after all they've done to the country since 1997 needs their head looking at.
Worst PM ever until Brown came along. |

As bad as those two were, you seem to have forgotten David Cameron.
Science has proven him to be the worst Prime Minister ever...and he couldn't even win an election with a majority! Thank goodness we'll be rid of him in a few weeks. |

However if you use Ulster as the yardstick it was the Tories who brought the Republicans to the table, not TB. |

Really? Think it was more that the IRA pushed for peace deal after 9/11. Idiot Bush proclaiming 'war on terrorism and those that support it' Ops suddenly realise that America had been funding the IRA for years. Couldn't war monger in Iraq without bombing himself. Suddenly all the funding stopped. |

He was a people's pm. He hoodwinked everyone into thinking life was rosy, giving everyone something for nothing, that's why small minded people love him. I think brown was worse, but Blair shafted him by stepping aside at the right time. He knew the crash was coming. I don't much like Cameron, but I liken it to becoming a landlord after squatters have been in. He was well and truly shafted with a right mess. Right or wrong, we deserve a referendum. I wasn't even born when my retired parents voted for a trade partnership with Europe, not the governing body I'm living with |

thatcher holds that title, head and shoulders above the rest, although if cameron was allowed more terms he would come close. |

The only real difference between Cameron and Blair is that Cameron isn't taken seriously by anyone on the international stage. Other than that, they are pretty similar. Equally deceitful, equally unconcerned with what would be best for the majority of the electorate, only interested in the rich. Oh, and Tony could win an election by majority, of course.
If you think there is any substantial difference between them, more fool you.

I don't think there is any difference between any of the 3 parties, or their leaders in the past 10 years. They're all the same beast with many different faces. We need a new direction, and fast. Cameron will never give us a referendum. The only ones that will get us out is ukip. I wouldn't want a ukip government for longer than 5 years, but it's a necessary evil to get out, and lay down a mandate to hold a referendum at least every 10 years. There is only 1 benefit to the eu, small businesses don't need to have any paperwork for eu exports. It won't take long to get their heads around t forms, after all, we had them a little over 20 years ago before the door was wedged open |

Both sides are still beating, maiming and shooting individuals in pursuit of the lives of crime. |

that's true enough and so it's more like any other UK city now the bombs have stopped .... by the way the implication of there just being "two sides" is a very simplistic veiw, it's always been multiple groups fighting against each other. |
