Re: Retired UK General : Impeach Blair (none / 0)

Are you familiar with ImpeachBlair.org? The original paper "A Case to Answer" has a very interesting discussion of the history of impeachment in the UK, and its relevance today even if it hasn't been used for almost 200 years.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman

Re: Retired UK General : Impeach Blair (none / 0)

I read "A case to answer" when they first published it and I do agree that there are good grounds to consider impeachement a releavant and suitable tool for this situation.

However, what I meant to say was that I think the long unused nature of the law presents "public relations" and "political attention span" problems in actually making it happen.
