Blair came along and offered the party a deal. If labour swap their pro-union view for pro big business and drop their image of wealth equality in favour of capitalist greed they could win.
They did this and also went pro-war, linked their party the billionaire corrupt businessmen and basically became a clone of the Tory party.
Basically, Labour dropped everything they used to believe in and sold their soul to Rupert Murdoch, just to have power.
Labour are like a Police Officer that turned to crime or a Vicar that started worshipping the occult.

Things went wrong when he brought up the price of petrol back in 2000. He did himself more harm when he forced the Fire Brigade to go on strike for the 1st time since the 70's and then for it to be a series of strikes. He did himself even more harm when lead the country to invade a country having problems with it's government, poking his nose in and disguising it as saving the world from an evil man who might've had weapons. When he really just wanted the oil. Which also was an illegal invasion according to the UN to make things even worse. He finally hammered the nail into his own coffin when Dr. David Kelly topped himself over this scandal between himself, the Government and the BBC. He'll most certainly be in the same boat as Margaret Thatcher when he steps down.

Probably nothing. Problem is that there isn't a Labour Party anymore. New Labour is no more socialist than Ted Heath was. In fact in many aspects, a lot less.

Thanks to The Great Leader,Tony Bliar the Labour Party leadership sold their souls to big business and forgot their reason for being. People of my fathers generation must be turning in their graves in disgust at this shower calling themselves the Labour Party.

A great party in its infancy. It became a party of 'if I can't have it no-one can', and now it is the Conservative Party at its worst.
Who voted for these cretins? I certainly did not.

Managed to get elected by discarding their traditional values.
Come-uppance.
