Yes, it's true that technically Blair could have been unseated by the people of Sedgefield. In fact, the father of a British soldier who died in Iraq stood as a candidate in Sedgefield to do just that!<BR/><BR/>If he was unseated two things could happen which would keep him as prime minister. First, he can technically be Prime Minister even without a seat (there have been ministers without seats - some in the House of Lords, for example, but never a Prime Minister).<BR/><BR/>The second, and most likely option is for a Labour Member of Parliament to step down from the seat he's just won (under intense pressure from the party). That would mean a seat became vacated and Blair would stand in that man's constituency and certainly win it.sasahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11768949840709111768noreply@blogger.com
