How would PR prevent the goverment doing something that the people don't want? Israel has PR, and it has done many things that the Israeli people do not support.

Exactly, get rid of Blears too
Blair is responsible for appointing his cabinet, and ensuring that they are competent enough to appoint compentent people below them etc, that is why the responsibility lies with him.
He's also a slimy toad, but that's a simplified and censored personal opinion of him.
Doesn't make it wrong though
We're also way beyond the first sign of trouble....
