Yes. Blair represents Sedgefield and assumes that makes him "ordinary".

A lot of the concerns of New Labour are those of the London lower-middle classes, really. All the stuff about schools, for instance, is pretty irrelevant if you live up Weardale and have a ten-mile journey to your one possible comp. They alsotry to please too many people at once - only look at the very garbled mixed messages they send out about drinking - all-night licences but keep yobs off streets....
