The general consensus in the UK was that the entire Millennium Dome project was a flop, and that the dome itself was a bit naff and underwhelming. This inevitably ended up embarrassing Tony Blair's government.
But I would argue that most of the reason why the Dome failed was because people were coming at it from a bad perspective - almost willing it to fail.
But what if people were generally more optimistic towards the project? And what if it eventually ended up turning a profit and becoming a success for Blair's government? What tone would this have set and how different would British society have been over the noughties? What would have been the effect on the Labour government?
