That's not a what if it's a when. Opposition rarely win an election it's more a case of the incumbents losing them.

I see that point, I completely agree, it's just a bit different with Syria overall, I don't think any of us would support boots on the ground in Syria, speaking for myself a bit there though. It's pretty much going to be a Drone/Fighter striking operation with no troops as far as infantry goes. I'd be happy to speak out against man power on the ground. Air strikes and drone strikes are something I can live with though (More about cost than lives lost in that case)
Again though, I don't think there's any doubting your point about Blair sticking us in the deep end. If we're being superheroes and fighting ISIS then fair game, if we have ulterior or bogus motives such as Blair and the whole Iraq nonsense then I'd rather have no part in it.
It's a bit annoying to see Hollande goading us into it though. (

Again though, I can support an operation with minimal to no loss of British life. I can't support another Afghanistan/Iraq in which we send troops and inevitably have casualties for what? Democracy in a country that has no interest in it.
