69% of Voters say Blair is a Liar, 56% Say they will vote for him.

A MORI poll published in today's Guardian shows that over 69% of British voters consider that “Tony Blair is a liar.”
The poll surprisingly also shows that an only slightly smaller majority (56%) will still vote for him.
In an attempt to explain the apparent contradiction between the two results a second Mori Poll to be published tomorrow asked 1000 voters in the greater Manchester area which qualities they consider most important in a politician.
The poll effectively resolves the contradiction by revealing that 72% of respondents agreed with the statement: “Being a Good Liar is an essential to being a Politician.”
