However, he was elected to preside an adminstation to run a country. And when 85% of the country and almost all the administration is against him, and some have left office because of that, he should stop talking for the whole country, but make it a personal position, and not as a PM. Because Tony Blair , the man, and Tony Blair the PM , have two different jobs to perform, with different agendas an prioritys.

Being PM, he also carries the responsability of doing what's best for the people, regardless of wether or not they like it. In a Democracy, you have to explain yourself, to an audience that is often unreceptive or open to a different point of view: that's the real hard part.
His personal point of view has nothing to do with anything: having a personal opinion that matches one's professional opinion is a luxury.
