Vince Cable for PM, I say.

** "When we believe something is the right thing to do, as we did in the case of Iraq, we give the Government our full support" |
And if I remember correctly Duncan Smith was as much a cheerleader for the war as any Labour minister, apart from the 100 Labour MP's who rebelled and voted against the war there was only a handful of Tories who followed suit.
Having said that I blame the Labour yes men as weak and the Tory yes men as voting in favour mainly to preserve the ridiculous "special relationship". Neither of our two main parties come out of this well.

She only resigned when it eventually suited her, if you remember he talked her out of it initially.
The only real moral Labour front bencher was the late Robin Cook, I defy anybody to claim otherwise. IMO he was one of a very small number to come out of the entire fiasco with any credibility.
