| | Blair's Political Suicide, by Christopher Montgomery |
 | | What, in retrospect, this period, that is to say, the first six years of Tony Blair's premiership (or as I am sure we will say in the fullness of time, 'the first half' of the 1997-on Labour regime) will amount to is this: he tried (to subvert traditional means of governance) but failed. |
 | | Tony Blair, rightly from his own point of view (if he has, that is, a point of view he believes in), wished on coming into power to transform the machinery of central government. |
 | | Christopher Montgomery is an historian who is currently writing a book on the historiography of the Suez crisis, and is publisher of ERO. |
