This trenchant account of the last twenty-five years of the British Labour Party argues that Tony Blair's modernizing tendency was profoundly mistaken in believing that the only alternative to traditional social democracy was an acceptance of neo-liberalism. The impasse reached in constitutional reform, the retreat from the promise of open government, and the erosion of Labour's support amongst the electorate, flow directly from this fateful choice. In this new edition, the authors, in collaboration with Daivd Coates, review the debate in light of the Blair government's first three years in office.
