A motivational, musical dramatisation that tells the story of Tony Blair's historic Labour triumph over John Major's Conservatives in 1997. Watch to the end for the message of this video, if we look at the bigger picture. I made this video because the storyline to this election could've come straight out of a Hollywood script. It was a classic bad guys(a very unpopular Tory government) vs good guys (yes, Blair was a good guy back then) story.
There are 2 songs featured in this video and they add greatly to it. All of this footage you see, remember, is footage you can watch elsewhere on youtube with audio intact.
This video is not suppoesed to be a wholly accurate representation or reflect my own political stance. The purpose of the video is to motivate and inspire yourself hopefully. It has a point. 1997 feels like a different time back then, we probably sometimes forget how OTT the reaction was to Labour winning. So many years of Tory rules caused this outburst too. Us flying our British flags to celebrate. It'll be a long time before you see that for a general election again.
And if your confused, "the death of a friend" means the death of former Labour leader John Smith in 1994.
Credit goes to the users who uploaded this footage to youtube. This video wouldn't have been possible without them.
