Labour should have chosen Prescott over Blair.

@@TheVote2010 Prescott is a brilliant man contrary to how he's presented in the media.

@@wilsonfisk6626 so, Blair won three straight general election’s for Labour. A party who had been in opposition for 18 years. And yet, you’re trying to make the argument that John Prescott would have somehow been a better leader? Are you being deliberately facetious?

@@TheVote2010 Blair won three general elections because the Tories lost. The Tories would have lost in 1997 and 2001 by default. It didn't matter whether Prescott, Blair, Brown, or John Smith were leader. John Major admitted that the loss in 1997 was inevitable. People were tired of them after 18 years in government. The policies implemented by Blair between 1997 and 2001 were on Labour's agenda since Kinnock was leader. Prescott would have implemented the national minimum wage, devolution, and the expulsion of the hereditary peers. One major difference between Blair and Prescott was that the latter would have rolled back on nationalization. Prescott would not have sucked up to Bush and commit troops to Iraq. Labour would have remained Labour, not Tory-Lite. Prescott would have stepped down after 2005 and not stayed on for another two years to screw over his Chancellor. Blair was power mad and had no ethics. He was like Kinnock on steroids.
