Description of Blair |
Blair (Tony Blair, b. 1953) Labour politician, MP for Sedgefield since 1983 and leader of the party from 1994. In 1992 he came second to Gordon Brown in the list of those elected to the shadow cabinet, and after the sudden death of John Smith they seemed to the two likeliest candidates to succeed him. Brown stood down, yet is likely to succeed Blair, when he resigns as prime minister sometime during the term of this parliament, having been elected a record three times, the first time in 1997. He is therefore the last prime minister of the 20th century and one of the most controversial ones, being frequently accused of abandoning cabinet government and introducing a presidential style of leadership.

About Michael Temple. |
Dr Michael Temple is a senior lecturer in Politics and Journalism at Staffordshire University. His books include How Britain Works: From Ideology to Output Politics (Macmillan, 2000), an accessible and readable account of the recent changes in British government, which Simon Jenkins said raised questions that ‘deserve to ring alarm bells throughout British public administration and politics’. Dr Temple has published many articles on politics including Anthony Giddens, Tony Blair and the Third Way (2001). It was important, for the serving Prime Minister, to find someone who was neither a Blair apologist on the one hand, nor a Blair-hater on the other. That ruled out most journalists, commentators and political scientists. Dr Temple’s book on British government changes marks him out as someone who understands what they are about, can write about them accessibly, and examine them dispassionately.
