Blair is an interesting comparison. Blair was king of the "adult-in-the-room" archetype. But, for all that the Blair government was a terrible disappointment in the home stage (let's not even go into foreign policy), most peoples lives did get at least a bit better (even if some of the stuff was done by stealth). Today's Labour seem to have bought the "don't scare the horses" line without also seeing the necessity of also actually making peoples lives better.
