Tony Blair out of touch with voters

9:54am Wednesday 28th December 2005

TONY Blair suggested Nigel Farage, the UKIP MEP, did not speak for the British nation in respect of criticism over the EU rebate.

Perhaps not, but how does Mr Blair claim to?

As I recall, Labour polled less than one third of the popular vote at the May General Election.

Since when has one in three been a majority?

And if letters to the media are anything to judge by I would say Mr Farage is more in touch with the feelings of the people than the Prime Minister.
