Yes, but it was the Blairites who ultimately caused the division in the Labour Party. They were unable or unwilling to accept that the very mention of Tony Blair was toxic to the majority of grass roots supporters. However appealing it may be to the mythical "middle ground" in the Home Counties, if you lose your loyal grass root support groups, you're finished as a party.
