In Oxford, Tony Blair met another pupil who introduced him to left wing politics which subsequently led him to join the Labour Party. But what if this never happened and he became a reluctant Conservative instead?
One thing is clear, he would have not been a Thatcherite, and would have found a home amongst Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine. Would he have ran against Thatcher in the 1990 leadership competition? What would have happened to Labour in the 90s? Would he ever become a Tory PM or would he defect and some point to the Liberals?
