Blair - exits to the right and becomes envoy... for whom?

"Tony Blair is to become a Middle East envoy working on behalf of the US, Russia, the UN and the EU."

It's the quartet of tender implications. The Russians aren't too keen anyway, and isn't the EU, US and Russia somehow under the UN, being regions/nations? How can you work for so different partners as these four and keep your integrity? Especially when you don't have one to start with.

I found a shred of early Blair thunk on Wikipedia:
"Blair stated in his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 6 July 1983: "I am a socialist not through reading a textbook that has caught my intellectual fancy, nor through unthinking tradition, but because I believe that, at its best, socialism corresponds most closely to an existence that is both rational and moral. It stands for cooperation, not confrontation; for fellowship, not fear. It stands for equality".
The Labour Party is declared in its constitution to be a democratic socialist party,rather than a social democratic party—Blair himself organized this declaration of Labour to be a socialist party when he dealt with the change to the party's Clause IV in their constitution."
I bolded out the interesting quotes, seen in today's political picture. He's changed, hasn't he?

Here's a graphical presentation of that change:

They'll pay him under the table if he becomes this BS Mid-East envoy.

Talk about someone who strayed from ihis professed beliefs in the last 25 years! He's a disgrace.

About Blair and the Carlyle group:

He's lost a lot of support among the Brits, you might say.
Labour Seats: 418
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1997

Labour Seats: 356
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election%2C_2005

And it's going steadily downwards. It would probably have been more if it wasn't for the fact that if Labour loses, things get even worse with the Tories at the wheel. The Brits has to choose between two conservative parties in any given election.
