What was different about the 1997-2001 Blair? Blair was the same throughout his premiership.
That was before Blair revealed that the whole New Labour thing was actually what he thought-foundation hospitals, tuition fees and 42 day detention. Blair basically realized after 2001 he didn't have much time left for his vision.
Funny looking at these results how the historical links can be made. I know people always say there just popular history at it's worse but JFK/Macmillan, Callaghan/Carter, Bush/Clinton and Reagan/Thatcher have some very close historical links
