Brown: Tony Blair Has Major Election Role
PRIME MINISTER Gordon Brown says his
predecessor Tony Blair will play a major role in the country's
upcoming national election campaign.
Brown was quoted last month as telling the
London Evening Standard newspaper in an interview that Blair "has a
major role to play in the election."
Blair quit as leader in June 2007, after he
won three straight national elections from 1997, handing over to his
sometimes quarrelsome ally Brown.
Britain must hold a national election by
June 3, when Brown and Blair's Labour Party will seek to hold off
the confident opposition Conservative Party - who have led in
opinion polls for two years.
Brown did not specify what role Blair would
play, but says he'll likely tap the advice of a host of veteran
campaigners. |
