British Prime Minister Tony Blair Resigning In June

(Trimdon) -- Tony Blair will submit his resignation as Britain's Prime Minister on June 27th. Blair made it official this morning, saying he's had a good run and that ten years as Prime Minister is "long enough." He said sometimes the only way to "conquer the pull of power is to set it down." The Labor Party's most successful leader, Blair won three consecutive elections and said his government brought more jobs, economic growth and better health care to Britain during his tenure. The outgoing Prime Minister has thrown his support behind Finance Minister Gordon Brown as the Labor Party's next leader.
