Rather rambling article from a political commentator, Polly Toynbee, who usually has her ear very much to the ground of New Labour and is probably correct about this too:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,629668,00.html The central content of the article is that New Labour's electoral successes have indeed shifted the centre of gravity of politics in Britain. Best evidence of this is that yesterday, amazingly, the Conservative Party came out in favour of "the neighbourly society" - poor Margaret Thatcher, who thought there was no such thing as society.
