If I say to you,
"Stand up"
"Sit down"
"Stand up"
"Roll Over"
and you do it, would you say you are being spontaneous?

Which just shows that Balir is unusual/unique in that he scripted his own departure & the job to follow. Most PM's tenure ends in tears, in living memory only Harold Wilson walked, and that without any notice and explanation that rung true.(shame we won't be around to see the records made public in 2077)
Whether you like him or not he was a class political act, and if he hadn't made a monumentally wrong decision over Iraq would probably be headed for a 4th straight term..
Not suprised that there was a standing ovation.... but did think it odd that it was the nats who stayed sat down.... as one thing he did deliver, quickly & in full, was a devolved parliament & assembly... now with a Scots Nat administration.....

"Personally, I think the House of Commons took collective leave of its sanity today in applauding a man that has caused untold damage to the state of our democracy, our standing in the world, the reputation of international instituions, the Armed Forces, the long-term prospects for peace, our ability to counter international terrorism, and, last but not least, to the lives of millions that have died, been maimed or displaced as a result of his mendacity in taking us to war against Iraq.
People may say this was discourteous. It is not in my nature to be spiteful or rude. But it would have been dishonest for me to honour a man that I believe should be on trial at the bar of the House or in the dock in the Hague. Today was the British political Establishment at its sycophantic worst. The real discourtesy was to the memory of those that have died. We should be laying wreaths, not offering laurels to a man that misled his party, his Cabinet, Parliament and the people who elected him.
I can hardly think of a worse candidate for the job of peace envoy to the Middle East. A man that has fomented civil war between Sunni and Shia is hardly best-placed to pour oil on the troubled waters of Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank."

He was never a "class political act". He was a drama queen and a manager. He was the first presidential PM.

Thatcher was pretty presidential, that's one of the reasons for her continual clashes throughout the 80s with other cbaimnet members and thir eventual collapse in confidence with her - her utter conviction that what she believed was automatially right and her democratic mandate to impose those beliefs even against her own cabinet.
