LONDON, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- An attempt to impeach British Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected in the next two weeks.
The Sunday Herald reports that a previous attempt last year ended when only 23 members of Parliament signed on -- but the recent defeat of Blair's anti-terrorism legislation with 49 Labor members voting against their leader has spurred a renewed effort.
Divisive issues facing Blair include his proposed education reform bill -- which is expected to come up for a vote in the spring -- and his plan to reform the National Health Service by introducing more competition from the private sector.
Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party, told the Sunday Herald that questions about Blair's role in getting Britain involved in the war in Iraq are likely to cause him more trouble.
