Blair's autocracy

Leading article 

The  revelation that the Labour leadership attached at least two  bogus signatures  of  London  MPs to last week's  letter  backing  Government policy  on   the  Tube says everything we need  to  know   about  their approach to democracy ,  mew Labour has utter contempt for  Parliament; senior ministers,  and the Millbank high command,  regard the status of the Party's backbenchers as so low that they assume  they can  blithely affix  an  MP's  name  to  a document without  a  by  your  leave.  The assumption  may  be understandable,  so supine are   most  of  Labour's backbench  lobby  fodder  and so hard must it have  been  to  find  any  genuine   names  to extol the virtues of PPP for the  Underground.  But  nevertheless,   the  arrogance  of the  attempt  is  breathtaking.  The conviction that the Party machine and ministers  will not be caught out-- or that,   even if they are,  the political fallout would be minimal-- are ominous signs for the next four years. In the first weeks of his second  term  Mr .Blair seems to have formulated an answer  to  critics that he is a control freak; instead of loosening his grip,  he  will be even more determined about maintaining it.  By sacking two chairmen  of select committees who dared occasionally to criticise  the  Government, Mr  Blair  showed  he  is prepared to  brook  no  dissent.  The  brazen effrontery  of  the bogus signatures episode signifies   that  he  will continue  to  run  New  Labour by ruthless  political  fix  --  despite embarrassments  and  clumsiness  along the way,  like  the   cackhanded attempt to rig the London Mayoral election.  Today,  Mr Blair bestrides the  political stage.  But one day he may come  to need the MPs he  now treats as poodles.  Whether they remain content to be taken for granted remains to be seen.
