| Description | LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair urged his restive Labour party on Wednesday to unite behind him after a third straight election victory, but he failed to silence critics who want him to resign early.
Growing disillusionment with Blair, especially over his handling of the Iraq war, cost his center-left party more than half its majority in last week's election.
That has sparked calls from some within Labour for Blair, who has said he will serve a full term of four or five years but not stand again, to quit sooner rather than later.
