Is there hope at last?

A new internet campaign has begun to remove Tony Blair (www.iwontvoteblair.com) as an alternative to impeachment. The basic philosophy is that you can’t personally vote Tony Blair out unless you live in Sedgefield, but his MPs can make him resign. The only reason they’ll get rid of him is if he’ll lose the election. They will lose their seats if you don’t vote for them - that’s motivation! All you are asked to do is write to your MP and clearly state, ’I promise I won’t vote for a party with Tony Blair leading it’ and tell all your friends to do the same.

Should I put my name to this, or just hope that Tony Blair and his capitalist clique are just a bad dream?
