Cherie Blair an MP!!?

[emily05]

surely the woman with the worst sense of judgement isnt going into politics help!

[yingers74]

Noooooooooooo!

She is a funny one, on one hand she is incredibly intelligent, driven and capable but on the other a little unstable and as you say seems to have a poor sense of judgement esp when it comes to getting advice!

Given the choice between Mrs Clinton and Mrs Blair, I would go for the former.

[moozoboozo]

Just goes to show what you can do if you have the right connections.

[MarsLady]

PMSL!

Copycat!

[Easy]

Of course Bill Clinton is such an astute man, with excellant judgement himself

[emily05]

I agree about Bill Clintons judgement!

I think she'd be great. An intellegent, opinionated woman. Better than the indentikit's like Hazel Blears.

The business about the Bristol flats, and being big buddies with Carole C, were certainly not well handled, but the press don't like her and I do wonder how accurate some of their reports are...I think she is clever and compassionate and would much rather her than someone like M Hodge, for instance.

[monkeytrousers]

She'll get her media training as an MP, something she's obvioulsy not had being PM's wife.

[TwinSetAndPearls]

Dont see a problem with it myself.

[fsmail]

Rather Cherie than Tony any day of the week. Do you think they could swap if the going gets tough?

[acnebride]

I think she'd be triffic, but I have a bit of a thing about her.

[donnie]

I quite like her too, but she'd be mad....she earns far more than Mps do! apparently she is paranoid about money and not having enough of it, which is weird as the Blairs clearly have masses of the stuff!(cash, I mean)

[paolosgirl]

God help us all....I thought we were finally seeing the back of a Blair in politics. So there is no light at the end of the tunnel then...

[fsmail]

From what I have read. Cherie was not well off as a child although Tony was and some people who struggled as children with money may have problems as adults. Look at some of the millionaires who made loads they can be very tight. However, their kids who were born with it then seem to spend it very quickly. There is a saying for family-run business (although male orientated.) Father starts it, son builds it up, grandson squanders it. How will the little blairs do here.

[Janh]

I thought that, fsmail - her dad was very much not a New Man and had several families - she and her sister and their mum struggled, didn't they? (She has several half-sisters whose families were presumably in the same boat).

Doesn't seem to stop her spending it now though

Blimey - he had EIGHT daughters altogether!!!

[Janh]

(That was from 2002 btw. Dunno if any more half-sisters have emerged blinking into the light since then.)

[FairyMum]

I think she would be great, but I like Tony too. I think the media is giving her a hard time.

[Cam]

This would be one of my nightmares
