In this regard,Is the Labour Party to the left of New Labour?
Corbyn, and his iteration of the Labour Party is very much to the left of New Labour. In many ways it is a return to core values, which is a mixed blessing, but rather more good than bad in my opinion, as there is now clear water between the two major parties.
Also to know is,Who was the leader of the Labour Party in 1997?
Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007.
