    I agree. It should never be forgotten how much Blair lied, especially after promising to be 'whiter than white' in his post-election day speech and also saying that they would not raise taxes. He brought politics into far more disrepute than any other UK politician in history. New Lie have been shown to be nothing but 'champagne socialists', even more so in view of the latest expenses scandals.
    Hopefully, we shall see some return to honesty with a new Tory government, if they get the chance.
    I don't think Blair ever said that he wouldn't raise taxes - I think that the promise was not to raise income tax, which he stuck to during his term as PM.

          How different is that from McCain or Clinton. They have one or two big headliners as well. Reverse the question and ask of the rest of the field and it's not so different.

            I think you missed the point (surely not!).

            Cyberman's post said that Blair promised not to raise taxes, and was therefore a liar. My post was that Blair promised not to raise income tax, which he stuck to.
