Would it really be possible to impeach Tony Blair? In the run up to the Chilcot report we examine both sides of this question. The grounds for impeachment would most likely revolve around misleading parliament in relation to weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and the questionable legality of the 2003 war in Iraq. This video doesn't make any comment on the guilt or innocence of the former prime minister but instead looks at the ancient process of impeachment and asks whether it is constitutionally relevant and applicable today. If it is not completely obsolete then practically how would the impeachment process work and what would be the possible outcome for Tony Blair? The video also briefly considers the attempted impeachment in 2004 forwarded by Boris Johnson and Alex Salmond among other MPs and what that could mean for future impeachment attempts.
