It’s 1997, Tony Blair just got elected as the new Prime Minister of the UK, working for Queen Elizabeth II’s Constitution. Blair wanted to provide the most radical modernization of the Constitution in over three hundred years: he wanted to breathe new life into the old institutions. His leadership and ‘social-ism’ was a breath of fresh air to the UK. On 31 August 1997, the Queen’s son controversial ex-wife Diana (Princess of Wales) dies in a car crash in Paris, France, together with her current partner Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul. After her divorce with Prince Charles (Prince of Wales) in 1996 she got engaged several times, to different men. She was declared a ‘loose cannon’ or a ‘rebel’: her and Prince Charles got divorced, she dressed exactly the way she wanted, she gave birth to her children in a hospital, while royal customs declare a child should be born in the palace. Also, at this time, the world had little knowledge of AIDS. While some people guarded themselves from people with this disease, Princess Diana went out and shook hands with AIDS patients in Africa and she enrolled her children in a public school, while it was custom for the Royal Family to home school the royal children. She was also well known for her fund-raising work for international charities. Because of all this, she was referred to as the ‘People’s Princess’: people felt they were close to her, and could relate to her. She was a perfect mother and a warm person: a British inhabitant,
Diana, Princess of Wales was considered the people’s princess. She married Prince Charles, son of Queen Elizabeth II, of England in 1981. When they divorced in late 1996 the people were heart broken over the affair that Prince Charles had with Camilla Parker Bowles. Princess Diana led the same life she had been, she continued her charity work and her love life. The tragedy that left the country in tears and the world in disbelief, ended with unanswered questions which people turned into conspiracy theories. Princess Diana was killed in an attempt to keep the country 's secrets safe.
“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” (Princess Diana) These were the words left behind by the notorious Diana, Princess of Wales. Princess Diana was one of the most influential women to ever live, even after her death. She was loved by people all over the world, so when the news that she had died in a car accident spread across the entire planet, everyone was devastated. How could the princess be dead, just like that? No one could fathom the thought of her being gone from an accidental wreck; she was a godly figure. There had to be a part of the story that was kept from the public. Many conspiracy theories revolving around her death rose to the surface. The first was that it was a paparazzi chase gone horribly wrong. The second was that the British royal family had her murdered, with the assistance of the British Intelligence Service. The last theory was that Prince Charles, her ex-husband, had her killed so she was out of
Tony Blair's Approach to Power Since Labour came into power in 1997 Tony Blair has been criticised by some for being the 'son of Thatcher'. Many say that labour is now following the values and policies similar to that of a Tory government and in particular a Tory government lead by Margaret Thatcher. Before the time of Tony Blair and New Labour, the left wing party stood firm on one value and that was socialism. More on Labours old Values and policies The conservatives on the other hand have very different policies or not so different as some may argue.

Princess Diana was an inspiration for many people around the world and used her royalty to highlight major social issues. Diana’s dedication to humanitarian work helped to promote awareness and raise money for a wide range of charitable causes, including her campaign against landmines and her kind hearted approach to the AIDS predicament. Diana crossed boundaries to offer support to casualties and worked hard to change the opinions of the general public, which didn't particularly follow royal protocol because she lead from the heart, not the head.
In this essay, I would like to analyse why the reform of the British constitution is seen as unfinished business. Constitutional reform is when the system of government and how government institutions interact is changed. This has also meant the codification of some components of the constitution in the UK. Between 1997 and 2007, there were a considerable number of constitutional reforms introduced by the Blair governments. These reforms included devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, decentralisation, reform of the House of Lords and Commons, creations of new legislation granting greater freedom and rights within the UK, and so on. However, some of them are yet to be accomplished or in progress related to the electoral and
