Abstract: "Modernisation has been the keynote of British politics since the early 1960s. Failure by Labour and Conservative governments led to a crisis of confidence in the British political system by the mid-1970s. From this crisis emerged Thatcherism which laid the foundation for a new consensus embodied in New Labour."
