'There is no alternative. New Labour is the solution, not the problem.' (United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair)
Article Abstract:
The UK Labour party has performed very well since it won the May 1997 general election, according to Prime Minister Tony Blair. However, the party must also ensure that it takes a long-term view. Blair is aware that there are many potential difficulties ahead, including the economy and reforms in areas including legal aid and pensions. He does not feel that there is a strong desire within the Labour party to return to the ultra-leftism of the past.
