Murdoch on Blair's leaving - and Cameron's arrival

Rupert Murdoch believes Tony Blair should step down as prime minister at least a year before the next election to allow voters to size up his likely successor, Gordon Brown. In an interview with his own newspaper, The Australian, Murdoch said voters would be "cheated" if Blair did not give them enough time to compare Brown with the Tory leader, David Cameron. Asked if he could see himself supporting Cameron, the media mogul replied: "Oh yes." But it's silly to read too much into that tease, as many commentators undoubtedly will.
