26. sorry, but this is complete nonsense
Schröder actually benefited already: He would not be chancellor now had he not opposed the illegal Iraq invasion.

The SPD takes big hits in elections ever since because they try and push through so-called "reforms", social cuts they had criticised when in oppostion against the conservatives.

And that's NOT how fascists win. Fascists don't win in Germany. They may gain a few points in some regional elections, but overall they are not a danger.

Leftists win. The PDS won big time in the East. The new left party, currently being formed by those who drop out of the SPD in increasing numbers, will get most of the votes of those who are discontent. The new left party is predicted to win more than 10% in the upcoming federal election.

So don't fool yourself, the "moderates" are losing. And I really do hope they will. If you continue to support Blair you will go down with him.

As an aside, please don't try and co-opt Allende. Comparing war-mongering criminals like Blair and Schroeder (yes, he did it, too) with Allende is a disgusting insult to all socialists who have some respect left for their convictions.
