The august London Times, not normally the doyenne of the incredible, a day or two ago put forward this shocking possibility. The idea is still mentioned in M&C "Blair could be persuaded to remain in the job he still enjoys. Although Blair`s own approval ratings are low and polls suggest that he would face defeat at the next election, they are significantly better than Brown`s".

What would happen to the NHS ? Well UK patients being given harmful and life threatening drugs just to meet targets, because of the flawed economics of both major UK parties.

The so called public-private partnership may soon descend to the worst excesses of US medicine under the pseudoTory Blair. What is that ? I'll tell you, according to respected reports from MSNBC: "Staffing was so inadequate at a California senior center that a rat crawled into an Alzheimer's patient's mouth and died there before staff noticed, a lawsuit claims."

I have worked in such institutions and I tell you "Unless improvements are made to economic policy by both major parties in the UK - it will routinely happen here.

So if you want a rat to crawl into your father's mouth, or even into your own, and die there on the NHS - vote for loony Blair or druggy Cameron.

IMO: In those circumstances, the poor rat has all my sympathy.
