He served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Hartlepool from 1992 to 2004, and held a number of Cabinet positions under Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. He was also the European Commissioner for Trade between 2004 and 2008. Mandelson was one of several individuals responsible for the rebranding of the Labour Party as New Labour and its subsequent landslide victory in the 1997 election. He resigned twice from the Cabinet before leaving Parliament to take up an appointment as a European Commissioner. He later rejoined the Cabinet for a third time after being created a Life Peer, sitting on the Labour benches in the House of Lords. ==Early life== Peter Mandelson was born in Hampstead Garden Suburb, Middlesex〔http://tria.fcampalans.cat/images//mandelson_prospect.pdf〕 on 21 October 1953,〔 the son of Mary Joyce (née Morrison) and George Norman Mandelson. His father's family was Jewish, his grandfather had founded the Harrow United Synagogue. His father (known as Tony) was the advertising manager of ''The Jewish Chronicle'' who was commissioned as an officer in the Royal Dragoons in World War II. On his mother's side he is the grandson of Margaret (Kent) and Herbert Morrison, the London County Council Leader and Labour Cabinet Minister.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Person Page 41260 )〕 He attended Garden Suburb Primary School〔 and between 1965 and 1972 Hendon County Grammar School.〔 In 1966 he appeared on stage with the local amateur theatre group, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Dramatic Society as the eponymous lead in ''The Winslow Boy''. From 1973 to 1976 he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St Catherine's College, Oxford and in the late 1970s he became Chairman of the British Youth Council. As Chair of the BYC he was a delegate in 1978 to the Soviet-organised World Festival of Youth and Students in Havana, Cuba, where with several future Labour Cabinet colleagues, he - together with Hilary Barnard, future IUSY President, and Trevor Phillips - successfully frustrated agreement on a distorted Soviet text on youth in the capitalist countries. In his teenage years, he was also a member of the Young Communist League〔 but was a member of the Oxford University Labour Club delegation to the December 1975 NOLS Conference when the entryist Militant group lost control of NOLS. He was elected to Lambeth Borough Council in September 1979 but stood down in 1982, disillusioned with the state of Labour politics. Mandelson worked as a television producer at London Weekend Television on ''Weekend World'', where he formed a friendship with his superior John (''now'' Lord) Birt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Mandelson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
