Vraiment, les travaillistes sont inquiets. Blair ressemble \u00e0 un boulet attach\u00e9 au pied droit et qui les entra\u00eene vers le fond (c’est-\u00e0-dire dans les sondages). Tout cela \u00e0 cause des chouettes relations transatlantiques (cela, pour McCain<\/a> et les conservateurs). Et Blair veut rester un an de plus. Un calvaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPire, un insupportable risque \u00e9lectoral. D’o\u00f9 ce commentaire de Polly Toynbee, dans le Guardian<\/em> aujourd’hui<\/a>, qui nous parle de l’ambiance, avec ce titre tr\u00e8s \u00e9vocateur, style Royal Navy en p\u00e9ril : \u00ab On Labour’s sinking ship the mutinous mood grows.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tExtraits.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab The Blair camp admits the party can’t take another year of this debilitating internal row while the Tories surge ahead. Yet it won’t stop – and the Blairites know it – even if his enemies never speak another word. There is no option for one more peaceful year with Blair, whoever you blame. It won’t happen. The choice is another year like this, shipping yet more water in the polls – or pushing him now.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Remember this: when Thatcher fell she still had a 48% satisfaction rating, yet her time was up and most of her party knew it; Blair’s satisfaction rating is 23%. There is a time and tide in politics, and his people say Blair well knows his time is up too. Yet still he can’t let go.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Many observers find the party’s mood suddenly shifting. Before, a putsch was unthinkably dangerous; there were fears that it would bitterly divide the party. Now, many see that there are so few inside the Blair camp that it would collapse at first shove. Charlie Falconer and Tessa Jowell, his most ardent admirers, manned plentiful studios alone this weekend, but that gave the game away: there are not many willing defenders left. Not even John Reid stepped up. No doubt returning cabinet ministers will soon be dragooned to the cause – but of their own free will their silence was eloquent. Reid and the rest have to make up their minds; either way it will all be over in a year. Do they want to be bridge-builders for Labour’s survival or scatter landmines to make sure Brown fails? Another year of Byers-type attacks against Red’ Gordon will do most of the Tories’ campaigning work for them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb So now the party has to decide. Is it better to ride out another terrible year? Or will that year see Labour fall so irretrievably far behind in public trust that pushing Blair is the lesser risk? The solid core of MPs and activists are not passionate Blairites or Brownites; they want Labour to keep winning. Amid a desperate search for the least worst option, opinion is growing that now, before the conference, delegations of ministers and MPs should quietly but forcefully tell him to go, or risk worse consequences.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCurieux, non ? Ici<\/a> (chez les conservateurs), on se pr\u00e9cipite avec enthousiasme sous le parapluie am\u00e9ricain pour gagner les prochaines \u00e9lections. L\u00e0, chez les travaillistes, on a d\u00e9couvert que le parapluie est perc\u00e9 et on p\u00e9dale avec z\u00e8le pour \u00e9loigner celui qui l’a ouvert d\u00e9mesur\u00e9ment, pour gagner les prochaines \u00e9lections, indeed<\/em>. D\u00e9mocratiquement curieux, indeed<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
