1. I’m not sure I’d describe Major’s years as forgettable – the ERM crisis set the context in which the Labour Party decided to continue the blind march to economic destruction begun by Thatcher and keep Europe at arms length. Indeed, his ability to win an election whilst significant segments of his vote were too embarrassed to admit that they were actually voting for him arguably resulted in the opposition’s general distrust of polls, and hence constant re-manoeuvring of their position to occupy previous Tory ground. It was probably a turning point in British politics, though sadly in the wrong direction – I wonder if we’d be in quite the same mess now if the 1992 election had gone the way it was predicted?
