American poll could hasten PM's going

November 8, 2006 12:21 PM

american2006electionsLocal Liberal Democrat Euro MP, Diana Wallis, has said that the mid-term elections in America point the way to what might well happen in the UK next year.

Diana Wallis MEP for Yorkshire & the Humber, who opposed the war in Iraq, said:

"The Iraq war dominated the midterm elections in the USA. People clearly wanted a new direction and they voted for the Democrats in big numbers. I suspect that the British people will see the results of these elections across the Atlantic and use the large round of local elections next May to show their disapproval to Mr Blair.

"After the mauling that his ally, George Bush, had last night, it may well be that the Prime Minister feels it is not worth him struggling on in Number 10. The American election result could hasten Tony Blair's departure."
