Tony Blair

In 1997 the voters of the United Kingdom dispatched the Conservative Party into opposition after 18 years in power and replaced it with the Labour Party and a new Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Twelve years later Blair won his third general election. making him the Labour Party's longest-serving Prime Minister and the only person to have led the party to three consecutive general election victories.
Blair had his political views motivated by his Christian beliefs and was arguably the most devout British Prime Minister since William Gladstone. A High Church Anglican, he frequently attended Catholic services with his equally devout Roman Catholic wife, Cherie. On 22 December 2007, it was disclosed that Blair had converted to the Catholic faith, and that it was "a private matter."
