But that is no true, the reason Blair held power for so long has an awful lot to do with very, very average Tory leadership. In fact even now with Cameron they failed to win an election outright on their own, and Brown was a dead man walking.
But love him or hate him Blair was a brilliant leader. The Tories would have needed a Thatcher to beat him. Hague could have beaten Brown this year.
