Polly Toynbee seems to think that the anti-Blair protest voters will have achieved their aim, even if the Labour party retain a large majority tomorrow.
Even if Labour wins a sizable majority, Blair’s time is over as the ground shifts fast beneath his feet; he is yesterday’s man. By 2am on Friday morning, after the first flood of results, the only question in the television studios will be: when will he go? It will be the only question in the Westminster lobby, twice a day, every day. Even a very unlikely three-figure majority will make no difference to his own trajectory now. If Labour wins, it will be despite not because of him, and that marks a mighty change in the political weather.
