Blair's great achievment?

Is Cameron Blair's great achievment?

BBC reports that Blair 'also admitted Mr Cameron's attempts to move the party to
the political centre ground presented Labour with a "real contest".
But he said the attempt by the Tories to "reinvent" themselves was an "enormous compliment" to what Labour has achieved.
"This is the first time that the Labour party has ever been in a position where the Conservative party is trying to reinvent itself in order to become the natural party of government," he said.
"The Tories know that they have to pretend they are becoming more like New Labour in order to win.'

I do think that Cameron is a Blair creation just as Blair is one of Margaret Thatcher's legacies. She made him change Labour from a lot of its socialism to get it electable.

So one cannot expect any clear blue water from Cameron. All we will get is the sort of thin pink muddy soup he has learned from the New Labour Recipe Book.
