I think the Labour Party was modernised and electable before Blair took the reins- and it was not all down to neo liberals like Mandelson either. The writing was on the wall.
"New Labour" is just a gravy train, a career for grasping middle class yuppies who were uncomfortable with the idea of joining the Conservative Party or with relegating their ambition to the Lib Dems.
Thanks to them, we now have very little in the way of real choice at the ballot box. No ideology to vote for other than "liberal democracy" as offered by the main parties.
