No wonder the PM looks so tired, he's running a one-man show

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair tries to do too much. His determination to be involved in every aspect of government seems to reflect a lack of confidence in his ministers and the fact that there is no obvious person to take over while he has a break. There are two possible solutions to this problem. One is to boost the salaries of MPs, thus attracting more talented people into the House of Commons, and the other is to reform the House of Commons, making one-party rule for a very long period almost impossible.

When the rhetoric of ideals meets the policies of prudence

Article Abstract:

It is vital that UK Prime Minister Tony Blair avoids making grand claims if he is to ensure that the reputation of his government does not begin to decline. It is not inherently wrong for a government to launch a moral crusade, but it is important to have specific policies to back up such an initiative. Blair is running a considerable risk by presenting himself as a revolutionary leader at the head of a government committed to radical measures.
