| | During the election campaign Blair began to make the case for joining the euro, but now we have had the rejection of the Nice treaty by the Irish electorate, and things are not so clear. | | | This result puts the SSP in a strong position to win more seats in the next elections for the Scottish Parliament—which is held under proportional representation. | | | On June 7 voters in England, Wales, Scotland, and British-occupied Northern Ireland reelected the British Labour Party to a second full term for the first time in its 100-year history. |

| | If the conventional wisdom about elections is that, in good times, parties stay in office and, in bad times, they get kicked out, if you look at the last two elections, the British electorate did exactly the opposite of what electorates do. | | | The Tories have to make up such a lot of ground in the next couple of years, and I think, if in fact Blair manages his own party as well as he's done at least prior to his election, that they will have a very difficult time losing. | | | Both Blair and Clinton altered the public's perceptions of the parties they lead. |

| | In the European election of 1989 52.9% of votes cast failed to elect a candidate of the voters' choice. | | | A majority of British MEPs, 47 out of 84, were also elected with less than 50% of the vote in their constituencies. | | | One serious consequence of the British result, which tipped the balance in the new Parliament too far tot he left, was that the Parliament as its first act, (and initiated by British Labour MEPs), attempted to block the appointment of Luxembourg's prime minister, Jacques Santer, as president of the European Commission. |

| | Anyway, as you probably know, Tony Blair's Labour has won a bare majority with just 37% of the vote, and while the victory is the first time Labour has won three consecutive elections in the post-war era, it seems unlikely that Blair will remain Prime Minister for too terribly long. | | | Since I love elections, I kind of got into the BBC's "desktop election scorecard" app that auto-refreshed every few minutes. | | | Cernig is a big booster for Gordon Brown, Blair's heir-apparent, and will likely have illuminating ruminations at NewsHog. |
