However Blair invested a huge sum of his political capital into the Iraq War that ended up driving his approval down considerably. He still had quite enough to muster one last election win in 05’ but at that point it seemed the dye was cast. Didn’t help either his heir apparent was the uninspiring and lackluster Gordon Brown.
