Labour Party - Going down the drain?

It would appear that Mr Blair is determined to be the first labour prime minister to survive three terms of office, and wants the labour party to fail in the next election when it is no longer under his leadership.
How have I reached that conclusion? Simply by watching the news, reading the papers, and relying on memories sporned during his term of office.

Mr Blair first came to power in a landslide victory against the conservatives in 1997, and then effectively disappeared for almost two years while 'assessing the needs of the country' which, I felt, was much needed at the time. However, since then things have gone down hill and are rapidly gaining pace in that direction.
We now have hospitals which are effectively rented from the private sector, with the possiblity of schools coming under the same category in the near future. Taxes have soared in the form of more stealth taxes, more taxes on property, more taxes on capital gains through inheritance and house sales and now we are to expect 'green taxes' on pollution through fuel comsumption.
Although I agree with the green tax in principle (the more petrol your car uses, or the more miles you do should contribute towards making the world a healthier place), and did, in fact, with the help of my wife come up with an idea to add road tax to the cost of petrol rather than the annual fee we currently pay, I can not see the revenue from this new tax being used for it's claimed purpose, well possibly a token amount will be used, but the rest will be eaten up in 'administrative costs'.

This will be yet another nail in the labour coffin, to go along with the Iraq war, the aforementioned trust hospitals, the wonderful gesture of a pay cut by Mr Blair prior to his second election - subsequently followed by a nice big pay rise the following year, the great plan of house snoops (to see if you are paying the right amount of council tax - home improvements will increase your annual bill), his inabilty to control the amount of immigrants entering the UK from europe and abroad, etc.

Okay, he has done some good things during his time in office, but people have short memories for good things and long memories for bad things or things that harm them, a fact that most, if not all, politicians, seem to fail to realise.
