| | John Smith (UK politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Right Honourable John Smith QC (September 13, 1938 – May 12, 1994) was a Scottish and British politician who served as leader of the Labour Party from July 1992 until his sudden and unexpected death from a heart attack on 12 May 1994. | | | Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were, under Smith's leadership, restless and anxious in private that the party had adopted a "one more heave" approach and was overly cautious in tackling the legacy of "tax and spend". | | | Since Blair became leader Smith has become an icon of Labour's hard left because of his traditionalist approach and the contrast between his leadership and that of Blair. |
