 * Delete. If you go by the news media, every politican has his or her own ism. But we strive for more long-term notability. 01:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: The neologism is one factor, but truthfully the reason for deletion is that, whether the term is in use or not, it is not stable. It's ephemeral.  While "Thatcherism" indicated a precise set of economic policies and a particular manner of dealing with dissent, this attempted coinage will slide away because there is no single method or policy, so this will go away as soon as dissent to Blair does.

 * Delete neologistic rant masquerading as scholarship. Blairism is a recognised political term in the UK - although it is ephemeral - of this I've never heard. The concepts involved can be, and are, discussed elsewhere. Anyway, isn't Blair’s ideology about opportunity - known as opportunism? --Doc (?) 13:48, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
