Meanwhile, the father of a soldier killed in Iraq who ran against Tony Blair for his seat in parliament called on Blair to apologize to the families of those killed during the war. Reg Keys ran as an independent against Blair and won 10 percent of the vote. He dedicated his election campaign to the British servicemen who have died since the start of the war in 2003. Speaking after the result was declared, Keys said, “I hope in my heart that one day the Prime Minister will be able to say sorry, he will say sorry to the families of the bereaved and one day the Prime Minister will feel able to visit wounded soldiers in hospital.” We’ll have more on the British elections in a moment.
