Tony Blair is expected to announce his resignation as Prime Minister of England after elections on May 3. The speculation is that Blair will give his resignation on either May 9 or 10.
Well, it is about time that Mr. Blair departed. After making a disastrous decision to aid the United States in its war in Iraq that has cost about 145 British lives, and after a scandal involving money being paid to the Labour party for access to Blair in the cash-for-honours scheme, it is a wise move for Mr. Blair to resign. While Tony Blair has been cleared of any charges that he personally took money for the Labour Party in exchange for knighthoods and peerages, the allegations toward some of his ministers has tainted Mr. Blair's political standing.
My bet is that the British will not vote kindly toward the Labour Party in the new elections. Tony Blair and his ministers damaged the credibility of his office and his political party.

Meanwhile the cash for honours investigation , where donors to the Blair's Labour Party sought access to the Prime Minister and tried to buy peerages,is still ongoing. Blair was not implicated in the scandal.
