I should hope not.  I thought conservatives wanted out of Iraq?

From what I heard from some Brits on the forum, the UK Conservatives were split on the issue. If getting out of Iraq is part of their platform, however, I will hope for more Labour gains.

Never, the labour isnt that fond of Blair who is about the only labour who supports the war, the labours may soontake action against him to fix this in their favour. Tory gains are the only thing we can hope for, its the only hope we have for Britain to stay out of the eu nonsense

Yeah I knew many Labour members are not supporters of the war but if the Conservatives have an anti-Iraq War policy in their platform, it would be worse to see them gain. But as I stated before, I think the Conservatives are also split on the issue. Can one of the Brits address our concerns? How are the Conservatives on the Iraq War? What does their platform say? (I'm too lazy to search their site right now Tongue )

Let it be known that I am no fan of the Labour party and the only thing that would hold me back from supporting the Conservatives would be if they wanted to pull out.

Keystone do you mean to say you place our little misadventure in Iraq over possibly losing our greatest ally?

I don't understand your point. How would we be losing our greatest ally if I am supporting the group that supports our goals?

that said the former leader of the Conservative Party Iian Duncan Smith is well liked by Bush but not as much as Blair who seems to really get along with Bush and vice-versa.   

Iian Duncan Smith was the best! Smith for Conservative leader!  Smiley
