What are Tony Blair's & Chretien's Class interests?

[Hari Kumar]

Dear Chris & Ken - & I address Chris - (tho' it is all an open question of course) as he is clearly diligent about the UK angle - & Ken since he is a Canuck: Let us for the moment simply agree to watch what happens. I certainly have no crystal ball - & the Stalingard Thesis (I see it cited again in the Observer today by an Arab writer) can be left to the test of Old Man time...... With minor acknowledgement and all due respect to cavillers & cautionaries - generally there is much overall agreement between all left forces as the overall forces at work in the USA pushing to war. Even - & this might be very rare - ranging from the Trot analyses of Alex Callinicos to the ML-ist analyses (such as those of the humble forces of Alliance ML). 1) But what exactly is the Blair class interest? What force does he objectively represent? [Some will gag at that word - tough banannas]. Skimming "This Blessed Plot - Britain & Europe from Churchill to Blare"; by Hugo Young - does not directly help me. However, rather like previous scions of Labour (albeit Old Labour) it is I believe possible to paint him as a pro-USA stooge that was working to subvert the EEC from within. Absurd? IF so -  what is that little reptile - objectively speaking? [Please note: I am not looking for an existentialist response here]. What section of capital does he represent in the UK _ financial or industrial - or both - what? I have no data..... 2) KEN: As for Canuckia: Old Jean - has taken a major warning from the USA bulldog-ambassador Celluci. Fair enough. However I was used to seeing the old style limited manoeuvring of the Canuckian capitalist class more or less ended with the NAFTA stuff.

Is there some hurrah left in the old wilted Trillium-Maple leaf - or what is going on?  Seeking Inspired Guidance, and Gratefully Yours, Cheers! Hari Kumar
