Tony Blair was a good prime minister for Great Britain , it seems. He revived his Labour Party and led it to power after years of the Conservative rule. He called his party New Labour and changed it so much that it became more conservative than the Conservative Party itself, as politologists assert. It was very shrewd of him. However, Gordon Brown doesn`t have Blair`s edge and determination and self-confidence. He doesn`t seem to be very popular. That`s what the picture appears to be like from the non-native perspective.
The Conservative party is gaining ground and it`s time to change the roles, it`s time for that party to come to power, since there isn`t any other on the horizon (the Liberal Democrats are weak). The problem for conservatives is to change the image of their party from grumpy, pessimistic and out of touch to modern, optimistic having fresh ideas and in touch with reality. They should apply the recent Labour tactics and present their party now as more labour, more for common people. Now they stand a good chance of winning the elections. They just have to choose a perfect leader. David Cameron may be the one.
What do the British think of him? Is he really popular? Is he eloquent as Blair was?
