Mass use of advertising techniques, the focus on the leader, ignoring complex issues in favour of repeating a small number of easy to remember slogans / arguments, the creation and relentless pushing of myths as fact, a relentless focus on and careful presentation of their image, and citing political concerns as to why they should override anything else.

In terms of style, modern British politics owes a great deal to them and almost nothing to the generation of politicians who actually won the war.
