The Angela factor floors Poor John

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister John Major has found it very hard to deal with lack of unity within the Conservative party in the run-up to the forthcoming general election. Most recently, he has been caused great embarrassment by junior agriculture minister Angela Browning and Dame Angela Rumbold, the party's vice chairman in charge of candidates. Both of these women have spoken out against a European single currency, going against the official party line. The party's approach to European integration has been inconsistent, with no concerted effort to make the case for a single currency.

Tories' civil war puts Hague on the rack

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom Conservative party is divided on relations with the European Union (EU) and European monetary union (Emu). The Conservative party leader, William Hague, has insisted on opposition to the UK joining Emu as part of a future election campaign. He faces a strong opposition to this stance from Kenneth Clarke, Michael Heseltine and Geoffrey Howe. Hague has also called for a referendum on the EU Treaty of Amsterdam. Hague could face a leadership challenge prior to an election.
