Tony Blair is currently presiding over the total Clintonization of the Labour Party. Despite this, he is not popular with British women. So what does Tony decide to do? Change his hairstyle! Peter ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [PEN-L:7349] Brit politics Date: 11/10/96 8:57 AM There's an item in today's (Sunday's) New York Times on how British politics is becoming increasingly Americanized. It contains this curious passage: "When Mr. Blair accused Mr. Major of introducing class differences into the race, he called it 'totally American-style negative campaigning.'" Uh, 1) why is Major the first to introduce class into the campaign, 2) how did he do it, and 3) has Blair taken the Labour Party that far to the right that class is utterly verboten?
