How does socialism live on in the new Labor Party?
The problem is they used to move from socialism to socialism. I dont think you even dare say that now. He certainly talked about being on the center left a little. Probably he said it. The Prime Minister used to talk about social-isms instead of socialism. I dont think he even dares to put in the hyphen now. He talks about the Labor Party being only center-left of the political spectrum. Not the left center, but the center-left would certainly come first, and I think that probably widened obvious and proper. When you are interviewing him, he would not claim to be a Socialist. When you were interviewing him, he would say that a new party was created when he became leader. Year one in our history was the year that Tony Blair became leader of the Labor Party and everything starts from then. Im not sure that he thought, at the time, of how great the revolution would be that he led. I think he wanted a number of substantial changes to policy, but I think in a sense, theyve grown as hes grow
