Why Blair must give power to the people
Article Abstract:
Labour party leader Tony Blair is operating from an isolated position, knowing that he currently has the support of his party from a distance but that this could easily turn against him. He must decide which institutions he is prepared to take on and how he is to go about unleashing national energies which will bring him support. Initially, he seems to intend to attack the hereditary peerage, restrictive practices in the legal system and the obsolescence of the parliamentary system.

Blair needs to be more than tough
Article Abstract:
UK Labour party leader Tony Blair is entirely serious in his commitment to leading from the front if his party wins the forthcoming general election. He is keenly aware that potential New Labour supporters are great admirers of strong leadership, and he is therefore determined to portray himself as much stronger than John Major. He will also need to be a very strong leader if he is to be successful as a future prime minister, as the Labour party has a long history of serious splits.

Time for Blair to put on his bifocals
Article Abstract:
Labour party leader Tony Blair must ensure that he retains the support of all the voters who wish to see the party push the Conservatives out of office, but must also develop a radical programme for government. The Labour party will not be successful in government unless it makes extensive changes, so it is vital to begin planning those changes now. This puts Tony Blair in the sensitive position of balance pre-election and post-election considerations.
