"Blair-Brown" team to revamp Tory party

Hasan Suroor

LONDON: Britain looks set to have another "Blair-Brown'' team, but this time courtesy the Conservatives.

After their third successive election defeat, the Conservatives have put their faith in two young "modernisers'', seen as the Tory version of Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Chancellor Gordon Brown — the two men who recast the Labour Party and made it electable again after having been out of power for 18 years. In a shake-up, designed to make the Conservative Party look youthful and modern, its outgoing leader Michael Howard has brought in David Cameron (38), and George Osborne (33), — two of the youngest MPs— into his shadow cabinet in high-profile positions paving the way for them to take over the reins of the party the way Mr. Blair and Mr. Brown did in 1994 and led Labour back to power three years later.
