Britain in the 20th Century: A new consensus? 1990-2001 - Professor Vernon Bogdanor

The fall of Margaret Thatcher left a legacy that was both contested and divisive. During the 1990s, the Conservative Party, under the impact of divisions on Europe and on economic policy, began to fragment. But, after four election defeats, Labour, under Tony Blair, who relabeled the party New Labour, seemed to be adopting some of the main tenets of Thatcherism. To what extent was there a new consensus in the 1990s, and were the policies of the New Labour government, elected in 1997, an extension of Thatcherism or a repudiation of it?

He got MT's birthdate wrong, and though entertaining in places I feel the lecture was slanted to snobbery in places, particularly the epithets on John Major.

I love this Professor Bogdanor, I need to get these all on MP3 downloaded, I love the impartial and informative way with which he discuses political history to the audience and the slightly ignorant (me!) x Thank you Vernon!
