As it clings to power, chaos, confusion and complacency are running the Government

Article Abstract:

The recent resignation of Conservative MP Peter Thurnham indicates how prime minister John Major has lost the support of even previously local Conservatives. There has been particular concern about the government's reaction to the Scott report, which has been interpreted by many as showing that it is out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people. The government now has only a very small majority, and it is likely that the date of the next general election will now be brought forward.
