Blairism is the political ideology attributed to the governments of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

History

Throughout the 80s/Early 90s, the Conservative And Unionist Party of the United Kingdom dominated British politics, winning a consecutive 3 Landslides under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher. In response to this, the Labour Party, a traditionally socialist party started moving to the Centre in order to appeal to the Thatcher/Moderate voter.

Labour Leadership Under Tony Blair

A new era for the Labour Party began in 1994 when a young Tony Blair was elected as their leader. Under his leadership, the Labour Party abandoned the party's socialist roots through a series of changes, one of these changes being the repeal of Clause 5 in the Labour Rulebook, which stated the party's commitment to socialism. In a pamphlet written for the Fabian Society, Blair criticized the wording of the clause for "not clearly stating the means and ends of the party".

As a result of these changes, the party adopted Gidden's vision on social democracy, a mix between Neoliberalism and Social Democracy. This new labour party was dubbed "New Labour" by Blair.

As a result of these new changes, Labour went on to beat the Conservative Party by a landslide in the 1997 General Election, winning a majority of 253 (419-188)

Fall of New Labour

After the resignations of Both Blair and Brown, The new Labour movement ended in 2010 but Third-way thought is still very influential in the Labour party even after Brown's resignation.
