One of the things that is toppling Tony is that there is a LOT of resentment of his pro-Bush policies. Partly because Bush is seen as an evil idiot; partly because most people here are strongly against this war; and partly because Blair's job is to look after his own country's interests, not those of another leader. Therefore this sort of neo-con stuff wouldn't go down well.

I'm not saying that the UK won't get involved in some form of new idiocy to replace Thatcherism and Blairism; just that I doubt that it would take this particular form.
