JOHN MAJOR ACCUSES PM GORDON BROWN OF USING TROOPS AS PROPS (Read more)

Sir John Major, KG, CH (born 29 March 1943) is a former British politician who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the British Conservative Party from 1990 to 1997. During his time as Prime Minister, the world went through a period of transition after the end of the Cold War. This included the growing importance of the European Union and the debate surrounding Britain's ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. As Prime Minister, Major and his government were also responsible for the United Kingdom's exit from the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) after Black Wednesday on 16 September 1992. In 1997 the Conservative Party, under Major's leadership, lost the general election to Tony Blair's Labour party. It was an event in which the Conservative Party suffered one of the worst electoral defeats in British politics, since the Great Reform Act of 1832. After the defeat he was replaced as leader of the party by William Hague, but continued as an MP until he retired from the House of Commons in the 2001 general election.  (Read full article from Wikipedia...)
