| But many of the obedient Blairites have been culled, and Blair may have problems dealing with the new reduced parliamentary party, many of whom owe him no favors. Their pathological hatred for the Clinton administration cannot adequately be explained in terms of national security or even in rational political or economic terms, for after a very brief period of semi-radicalism (almost entirely limited to the failed attempt at health reform), Clinton devoted himself in a Blairite way to adopting large parts of the Republican socio-economic agenda.
