To what extent did Tony Blair succeed in remaking the Labour Party?

First and foremost, answer the question in the introduction. There is a specific focus on 'extent', 'Tony Blair', 'succeed' and 'remaking'. Question how success and remaking was interpreted in those years i.e. remade from what previous background? This alludes to comparative methods detailing Old Labour and New Labour. A few themes this essay could discuss would be: New Labour as straddling a left and centrist position thus abandoning a socialist one, did the Labour party really 'remake' or was it political catch-up, abandoning Clause IV and nationalisation, changing/'external' shocks to the economy and globalisationUltimately, Tony Blair succeeded in remaking the Labour Party because the political climate of which the Labour party was placed in, had already been remade. He succeeded in fashioning an altered policy, one that had been provoked by a fundamental ideological shift in the form of political debate and party change.
