Tony Blair (Cinco De Mayo)

Tony Blair (born May 6, 1953) is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and head of Her Majesty's Government, serving since May 2, 2012. He previously served eight years as Prime Minister (2000-2008) before he was constitutionally mandated to step aside. As the leader of the dominant political party United Britannia, he also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2008 to 2012 under his successor and now predecessor as Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. Prior to serving as Prime Minister, Blair was Governor of Durham County and Regional Coordinator, Northeast England. As a former RIS officer and recruiter, Blair has been criticized for strong-handed political policies, anti-democratic actions and has been accused to widespread corruption and cronyism in Britain. Shortly before the 2012 election, the British Constitution was amended to change the Ministerial term to six years instead of four, allowing Blair to serve potentially until 2024.
