 | | Though the Conservatives were considered to be the dominant governing party in the United Kingdom for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries, since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party under Tony Blair, they have been in 'opposition' in Parliament. | | | Howard reduced the Labour majority at the 2005 general election, but the day after the poll he announced that he would resign "sooner rather than later", citing his age as the principal reason for his resignation. | | | Conservative modernisers point to Afriyie's election as evidence that the party is changing, though opponents argue that the election of a single black MP doesn't count for much against the perceived right-wing anti-immigrant campaign fought by the Conservatives in 2005. |

| | MAY 4 WAS an electoral disaster for New Labour, which lost the London mayoralty to Ken Livingstone, lost 600 seats in local council elections, and came a poor third to the Liberal Democrats in the Romsey parliamentary by-election. | | | A former Labour Party secretary general, Lord (Tom) Sawyer - witch-hunter general against Militant and the Liverpool councillors in the 1980s - proclaimed that Blair's cabinet was 'out of touch' with the public. | | | This follows from the process of bourgeoisification of the Labour Party, a process which was accelerated with the return of New Labour in 1997 when Blair adopted open pro-capitalist, anti-working class policies, abandoning the traditional reformist commitments of social democracy. |
