No government since the war has had a "majority" of the vote in the UK, Sparrow. If you're going to disquality a government as being invalid on that basis, what are you going to put in its place?
I am - as I've said here on many occasions - very much against the war in Iraq, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, and neither you nor I saw the evidence which led to Mr. Blair's decision to go to war. He is an intelligent man; I am prepared to believe that he must have seen information that led him to believe that such an attack was justified. We have not seen that information. The fact that it may have been erroneous doesn't change the fact that he had to make that decision at that time. I didn't vote for him, but to make that decision was his job.
