Book Synopsis

The ''ideal type'' is Max Weber''s hypothetical leading democratic politician, whom the author finds realized in Tony Blair. He is a politician emerging from no obvious mould, treading no well-beaten path to high office, and having few affinities of tone, character or style with his predecessors. He is the Outsider or Intruder, not belonging to the given' of British politics and dedicated to its transformation. Here is a timely critique of Blair''s political persona as he presents himself to the British people to be entrusted with a third term as Prime Minister.
