 Tony Blair has admitted that he created a period of "uncertainty" for his Government when he announced he would step down later this year.
"It hasn't been easy," he said in an interview with The Observer newspaper.
But he insisted that he would have had "a load of different problems" if he had not announced his plans to quit.
The Prime Minister said he did not want to repeat Margaret Thatcher's experience of being "absolutely belted and chucked out" by her own party.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Observer, Mr Blair suggested that his departure would help the Labour Party win back voters who deserted it because of his decision to support US-led military action in Iraq.
