Meanwhile, the renewed acceptability of prejudice against parts of the working class – "chavs" – has made social hierarchy in general seem more natural again. And finally, people have simply grown tired of the sometimes blandly managerial, sometimes matey ruling style of New Labour: "The mock-demotic aspect of Blair culture – people are disillusioned with that now," says York. "People came to feel it was a hypocritical culture. They came to have a preference for the clearly elitist – for Boris."
