Editor's Take:
Blair redrew the map of British politics. He rebranded his party as New Labour, moving it towards the centre and winning a landslide in 1997. In office he helped secure the Good Friday Agreement and introduced devolution for Scotland and Wales. His decision to join the 2003 invasion of Iraq remains deeply controversial. He is still Labour's most electorally successful leader.
