New Labour’s 1997 election completed Thatcherite neoliberalism’s ideological victory.

Evidence

In the Eighties, of course, things seemed different. It didn’t seem inevitable that neoliberalism would triumph. In retrospect the success of neoliberalism seems to have been overdetermined. But by the Nineties, I think, the key moment, of course, is the arrival and election of New Labour, which was the final victory for Thatcherite neoliberalism — where the Labour party could come in, essentially accepting the broad framework that had been imposed by neoliberals. I think then we enter into the kind of phase of capitalist realism which most of the book is devoted to analysing I suppose. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2103
