Abstract

This chapter examines the contrasting means by which Tony Blair and John Howard were able to dominate their cabinet, parties, parliament and the respective bureaucracies in relation to the Iraq war decision. It argues that Blair’s preference for decision-making in small informal settings rather than the formality of Cabinet was rooted in an approach to media management that had served New Labour well in opposition but also in the nature of the New Labour project and its relationship to the wider party. Howard, in contrast, was a traditionalist who used Cabinet as a sounding board and to bind colleagues to the party line. Partly as a result, he did not have to contend with the same levels of party dissent over Iraq.
