Probably this.
But after 18 years of Thatcher and Major, "better" was good enough for a bit.
If you went or have kids who go to school in London their experience will almost certainly have been miles better than it would have been.
Things that we probably take for granted now in terms of democratisation - devolution, more transparent local government - are also a good legacy of Blair's.
Aside from Iraq, I think one of the main criticisms is that they started out with a manifesto that was genuinely radical, but didn't follow through with it after making a good start. Further Lords reform and electoral reform are two examples of unfinished business that could have significantly changed politics for good, if they hadn't taken their eye off the ball.
