Short changed - Clare Short resigns
 

Clare Short, Minister for International Development in Blair's cabinet, has resigned.

Her reasons:

Anyone who follows British politics will know what a sad loss this is. She did wonders for International Development.

Interesting asides:
- One of the faults of Blair not mentioned in the "Blair for President" thread is his Presidential style or 'control freakery', which was one the factors leading to Short's resignation.
- The UK now has its first black woman cadinet minister.
- She will be running her department from the House of Lords, not the House of Commons.

I know absolutely positively nothing about British politics - I do know that the importance and dependence some place on the UN is blind faith in a failed organization. I would assume that she feels she will be missed and because she will be missed the whole world will change to fit into her beliefs.

I read this story at Yahoo.

I saw that she is seriously anti-porn, so my question is: is this such a big loss? :D
