Abstract:
|
Since coming to power in 1997 the Blair government has not been confronted with any serious domestic difficulties over foreign policy. Recently, however, backing the United States with respect to Iraq has left Tony Blair politically exposed—both in the eyes of the British public and within his own political party. Arguably, by deciding to so closely ally himself to the Bush administration, the Prime Minister has placed himself in some political jeopardy. In this paper I look at the Blair government’s policy towards Iraq as part of the war on terrorism. I consider effect will this policy have on Blair’s leadership of and control over his party and the party’s electoral future. Has this provided an opportunity for Tony Blair to confirm his impressive leadership skills or will this be the one that finally gets away? |
