LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair entered the final two days of Britain's election campaign on Tuesday still under fire over Iraq but with polls showing him on course for an historic third straight term in office.
After a week of attacks over his integrity and support for the U.S.-led invasion, a MORI survey showed his Labour party has a comfortable 10-point lead in the run-up to Thursday's poll.
The main opposition Conservative Party has accused Blair of lying over the advice he received from the government's top lawyer on the legality of the 2003 war. But the impact has been muted by the Conservatives' consistent support for the invasion.
And
Polls suggest Iraq has done little to harm Blair's lead as he tries to secure an unprecedented third successive election victory for the center-left Labour party.
