Tony Blair's town hall revolution

Article Abstract:

The Labour party councillors which have been brought into local government in the UK following the recent local elections are largely from 'New Labour,' according to a survey by the 'Independent' newspaper. 'Old Labour' values are still cherished, but the majority of councillors realise that they have to align themselves with changing circumstances, such as caps on high spending. The main themes now are 'serving local people,' 'realism' and 'pragmatism.'

Can you ever really know Tony Blair?

Article Abstract:

Labour party leader Tony Blair owes part of his success as a politician to the fact that he is seen to identify closely with ordinary people. However, it will never really be possible to know his true character. He is unwilling to expose his real self, and has become extremely good at presenting a public image of himself instead. However, he has already proved to be a strong leader, and is likely to gain support for his views from the general public.
