abstract	Michael Portillo is a British politician who served as Prime Minister (1996 - 2005). He is considered one of the founders of the so called New Right, including classical liberal economics with social liberalism and one nation conservatism. Portillo was only the second Conservative Prime Minister since 1959, and the longest serving conservative Prime Minister since Lord Salisbury. As Leader of the opposition (1994 - 1996) he re-branded the conservative party as a modern right of centre political party, and appealed to younger voters. He led the Conservatives to landslide election victories at the 1996 and 2000 general elections. After his decision to support militarily the United States invasion of Iraq Portillo's personal popularity began to wane, and his situation as party leader began to weaken. In 2005 he resigned, under pressure from other figures within the Conservative party. He resigned from parliament 6 months later. He has subsequently become Secretary of Democrats International, a worldwide forum of Centre-Right political parties.
