It is understandable that Tony Blair has become a Roman Catholic. Cherie is devout, they have brought up their children to be Catholics, and until he was stopped from doing so Tony Blair received Holy Communion with them from a Roman Catholic priest. Indeed, in 2003 he received Communion in the Vatican.
Apart from these personal reasons, very many serious Anglicans wonder at some point if they should convert. The internationalism and diversity of the make-up of the Roman Catholic church has huge appeal. So too, for some, does its sense of its own authority, the concept of the magisterium, the body of teaching that is authoritative for all times. In contrast, the Church of England can sometimes seem too bound up with English national life and too closely allied to the state.
