  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A. HROUGHOUT 1995 AND THE beginning of 1996, the national politi- cal scene was dominated by the continuing decline in the fortunes of Prime Min- ister John Major's Conservative government, mainly because of internal divisions over relations with the European Union. This decline was in stark contrast to the growing popularity of the "new" Labor Party led by Tony Blair. The divisions within the Tory party over Europe were compounded by the resignation in June 1995 of pro-Europe foreign secretary Douglas Hurd. He was replaced by former defense secretary Malcolm Rifkind (who strongly identifies as a Jew but views his Judaism as "supremely irrelevant" to his political duties). The reduction in the November budget of the standard rate of income tax from 25 percent to 24 percent did little to help the government, nor did the December reduction of 0.25 percent to 6.5 percent in interest rates. The government's relative unpopularity was demonstrated in the polls, which in December showed the Labor Party leading the Tories by 30 points. This posi- tion was not maintained into the spring of 1996—the Tories gaining some ben- efit from the return of the "feel good" factor, decline in unemployment, and min- imal inflation. Even so, the loss in April of a by-election in Staffordshire by a near-record swing of votes from Tory to Labor of 22 percent showed how in- substantial was even the marginal recovery in progovernment sympathy. Labor was the main beneficiary of the Tory malaise and on most issues enjoyed a greater degree of confidence than did the Tories.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs I-,N JANUARY, Peter Mandelson, Prime Minister Tony Blair's friend and political mentor, resigned for the second time, again because he concealed his dealings with a wealthy man. Despite predictions of trouble for a Labor government facing an imminent election, the party and the government emerged virtually unscathed. Chancellor Gordon Brown's budget, presented in March, which pro- posed modest tax cuts and increased spending for such purposes as the National Health Service, public transportation, and education, created a favorable atmosphere: the chancellor earned higher approval ratings than any of his postwar predecessors, and half the electorate thought Labor the party most able to cope with economic difficulties (the opposition Conservatives scored only 31 percent on the economy). The general election, held in May, confimed this assessment. Labor once again won overwhelmingly, with 413 seats against 166 for the Con- servatives and 52 for the Liberal Democrats. Despite its victory, Labor was not as popular as the bare election results suggested, as the two lead- ing opposition parties attracted 50 percent of the votes cast, as against 40.8 percent for Labor. Only the vagaries of the voting system secured Labor its large overall majority of seats. An immediate result of the elec- tion was the resignation of Tory leader William Hague, precipitating an election for new party leadership that brought the relatively unknown Iain Duncan Smith to office as head of the opposition. At the end of the year neither the new Conservative leader nor his shadow cabinet had made much of an impact.
