True to its promises

Abstract

Everyone in power is entitled to a honeymoon period. Unsurprisingly, Tony Blair's government has had a rather longer honeymoon stint with the public than most other governments. Liz Allen, Policy and Research Officer with Education Network — who addressed BEMAS South-East on 7 March 1998 — would like to think that this has been so for positive reasons. Others would argue that it is entirely because Labour has been out in the cold for 18 long years.
