| | Britain's former leader of the House of Commons and senior cabinet minister for parliamentary affairs and a former foreign minister resigned in protest of British Prime Minister Tony Blair's hawkish stance on Iraq | | | A day after helping win a second general election in June 2001, he was axed by Blair and given the stark choice between a token position in government -- as leader of the House of Commons -- or a life in the wilderness of the backbenches. | | | While the resignation of either Short or Cook would be a blow to Blair as he approaches his Iraqi endgame, their departures would ultimately do little to undermine the prime minister's position in the short term, nor would they fundamentally alter his course. |
