Opinion of the Blair Labour government (1997-2007)

*deep breath*

On one hand, they fought 4 wars, opened public services up to private involvement to disastrous result, messed up Lords reform, didn't go far enough with devolution and didn't regulate the economy to prevent the 2007 crash.

On the other, they gave us the minimum wage, the EMA, the Winter Fuel Allowance, the Freedom of Information Act, peace in Northern Ireland (partial credit to Major here, mind you), civil unions, the fox hunting ban and (importantly for me) the Gender Recognition Act.

Difficult for me to vote either way on this one.

Mixed. HP on civil liberties, tolerable economically, FF abroad.

Funny, I'm basically the opposite.

I'm glad Blair helped create a concenus on economic policy, we don't want to end up like France with no political or economic liberalism or at all.

Correction: We do and we will.
