Tories winning again in 1992 certainly was a total body blow for non-Tories at the time - immediately after the result there were lots of anguished discussions as to whether Labour would ever return to power (something maybe worth recalling just now)
But even though Labour benefited in the slightly longer term, it is still possible to see that GE as one of the most regrettable results since the war (even if not as bad as 2015) And a Labour win then at least would have avoided the toxic cult around Blair, one of the things that hampers the party now.
Is there really still a Blair cult within Labour? I was under the impression that even the right flank of the party has disassociated itself from his personal (if not necessarily policy) legacy. Have I been mistaken about this?
