Presumably it would be too early to word more serious judgements about 'Blairism' as the arranged and exportable package of the renewal of the centre-left. No matter, however, whether Gordon Brown would continue Blair's programme without fail, or would tailor it more vigorously to fit his figure, it is worth studying it at this point. In addition we are particularly interested in it, for though the New Labour has had more or less influence on practically all the newer social democratic reformers of Europe, its imprint seems to be rather strong on Hungary. According to public opinion it derives decisively from the Hungarian Prime Minister's personal sympathies, but solutions thought to be 'Blairist' or at least resembling it could be in principle deducted to some extent also from the structure of the tasks of reform. And though Blair's philosophy was less explicit, in its means his governance was pragmatically remarkably well arranged throughout three cycles, therefore it may be worth considering the lessons of his governance in Budapest, too. The 'Third Way' programmes ultimately seem to be rather sociological than political projects. It is, however, indifferent from the point of our story. Giddens is right in that globalisation creates a new situation, either destroying or excessively dismantling the nation state or not. Considering the possibilities of political reforms currently seems to be more important than confronting the leaflets of the 'Third Way' from the 90s with later events there (or here), in order to subsequently demonstrate that specific compromises and forced steps can easily overwrite soft theories. And hence there is nothing else in politics, but the moment.
