Blair Rewards Complaints From The Public, A Campaign Or Scam, Tony, Tony Where Are We Today
In December, 1999, newspaper headlines alerted the public to news of Shaun Woodward’s surprise decision to defect from the Conservative Party. Many people were concerned as they read headlines that began with such announcements as, “Blair rewards defector Woodward with a special campaigning role for the Labour Party”. To better understand what this meant at the time perhaps it is best to start with what the Conservative Party represents. In essence, this party supports such things as home ownership, low personal taxation, and free-market principles. The Labour Party, on the other hand, supports the rights and interests of the working class people. This is why comments and editorials such as the following became commonplace: “Blair rewards complaints from the public, a campaign or scam, Tony, Tony where are we today”.
When the situation surrounding Woodward’s decision to defect was fully explored it seemed that he was less than pleased with the Tory Party Leadership. From concerns over gay rights to being questioned about himself and references made to his own sexual orientation, Woodward reportedly was concerned about the direction the Party was taking. Reportedly, Woodward feared that the Conservative Party was moving away from the ‘one-nation philosophies’.
Whether Tony Blair rewards complaints against oppressors or if he simply would like to see more outright demonstrations of integrity, some people fear that he uses his power to manipulate the political forces. The fact that Woodward was allowed the campaigning role for the Labour Party did mean that he would have an opportunity to visit a lot of constituency Labour parties and become even better known.
Many have questioned if this was some sort of Blair rewards scam. After all, not everyone receives this type of help or assistance from such powerful forces. However, it seems that Shaun Woodward was politically capable with or without the so-called Blair rewards program. Woodward secured a safe Labour seat in St. Helens South in the June, 2001 general election. Not surprisingly, Woodward served on the Joint Committee on Human Rights and was well known for his support of the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
Woodward was re-elected to the seat in St Helens South in May, 2005. After which, he was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Northern Ireland Office. Once again, in May of 2006, the Blair easy saver came into play and appointed Woodward Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In June, 2007, Woodward was appointed as the Northern Ireland Secretary. Of course the rumors will continue to be started and disputes are sure to come up now and then regarding any assistance Blair may have provided to Woodward. But in the end, Woodward has established much credibility for himself, with or without help. As for other political figures’ careers that Blair may have influenced in his time; each one of these political figures should be explored on an individual basis.

Throughout the last few years it may seem to many that Tony Blair rewards those that do more harm for his country than good in the name of getting paid, often times referring to his actions as the Blair Rewards Program for the undeserved. Many have raised opposition and want to know how the Blair rewards complaints are handled and why after so many have been made nothing has been done about it.
