No-one has a monopoly on wisdom and 100,000s of union members and Labour party members today chose- by a whisker- to try Ed Miliband’s liberal social democracy. In so doing they have rejected Blairism. The party’s platform will in no way now resemble the market accommodating, state reformist, strong law and order state, and international interventionism outlined in Tony Blair’s memoirs. That version of New Labour is no longer a contender as a governing philosophy. Not on the left anyway.
