On the positive side, Blair was definitely not a europhobe, in contrast to 99.99999% of his countrymen. Ok, fair enough, as behind Murdochian headlines Britain is actually one of the EU members who does play by the rules instead of just playing postcard european on the outside and trying to rob the EU for funds to compensate for their own political and economic failures (Spain anyone?).
But actually I have no idea how or what he did in regards to interior politics. All german press covers about UK internal affairs is camera surveilance on the street and the condition of NHS hospitals. But I have no idea how the really important internal policy fields like labour legislation, tax legislation or welfare were handled by Blair compared to Major or Thatcher.
(Btw, did Tony really have such a posh name?)
