But what did he do wrong?

He may have had different ideas on how to run the country/world than some but he never lost an election. So I guess a lot of people believed in his ideals.

Suffice to say, none of them were peers.

Bill, that is the problem with the structure of Britain's parliament.

The upper house or lords is only allowed to be a sanity check on legislation, they can review, suggest changes, but at the end of the day they cannot refuse to sign off anything that comes from the commons. They can prevaricate and make life uncomfortable, but they have no real power.

As a position in the lords is by appointment, if the lords was to get too uppity, there is nothing to stop an executive (as in cabinet and cronies) from appointing a few hundred of their friends and drowning out the trouble makers who may think they have a right to say a government is wrong.

Blair has gone loopy just like Thatcher did,both after spending far too much time as PM.There should be a five year limit on the job to prevent the kind of hubris that so obviously goes with the job whoever is doing it.

He is greedy. He is making a fortune with this book and its purely for the money.

I think he is giving all the book money to the British Legion to be fair,but he is still a self obsessed madman IMO.
