Looking Back on New Labour: What got Better?

Pages 357-366 | Published online: 24 Nov 2010
 

Abstract

You show me prejudice and greed

And you show me how

I must learn to deal with this disease…

Things can only get, can only get

Things can only get better

Can only get better

(Extract from a popular song by D:Ream. Spending four weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in 1994, it was adopted by the Labour Party as their theme for the 1997 UK General Election)

Notes

1 Theresa May told the Conservatives they were regarded as the ‘nasty party’ by voters at their annual conference in 2002.

2 For a detailed historical account of the state's involvement with MG Rover, see Berkeley et al., Local Economy, 20(4) (Berkeley et al., 2004).
