n the days when Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee faced eachother in the House of Commons, there was disagreement about whosehands should be on the Mace, the symbol of power at Westminster.Everyone assumed that the hands on the Mace would be British. Inthe past half century, the Prime Minister's power at Westminsterhas increased greatly, but it has diminished in the worldsbeyond.In Westminster, the Prime Minister is now first without equal. Butin councils of the European Union, he or she is only one amongfifteen national leaders. In a shrinking world the chief issuesfacing Downing Street today are 'intermestic', an amalgam ofdomestic politics and international concerns. Tony Blair may saythat he is batting for Britain, but cricket skills are no match foran American president playing hard ball, and policy-making in theEuropean Union is definitely not cricket.In an era of television politics, the faces and voices of MargaretThatcher and Tony Blair are familiar to every voter, and the presscooperates in turning politicians into media celebrities. But whatyou see on the box is politics; it has little to do with thepolicies of British government. Old-school leaders such as HaroldMacmillan devoted as much time to policy as to politics. Butnew-style prime ministers put politics first.Tony Blair wants to speak for all the British people, but theresult is 'managed populism', for his voice travels down a one-waystreet. In Whitehall, Blair's Third Way blunts the cutting edge ofpolicy, leaving officials puzzled about what to do when hardchoices arise, especially about Europe.Anyone interested in politics and current affairs, whether astudent or a thoughtful reader and viewer, will find insight andillumination in a book that draws on the author's unrivalledfirst-hand knowledge of British politics over the past halfcentury.Richard Rose's work has been recognized by a lifetime achievementaward from the Political Studies Association. He is a Fellow of theBritish Academy and director of the Centre for the Study of PublicPolicy at the University of Strathclyde
