Britain meets its future: Major to step down as Tory leader

Article Abstract:

The UK Labour party won the recent general election by a large majority, and new Prime Minister Tony Blair has already made seven Cabinet appointments. Seven Conservative Cabinet ministers lost their seats, and the Conservative party has been dealt a further blow by the decision by party leader John Major to resign. Some observers believe that the Conservative party could take a long time to recover from its defeat, being in the same position as the Labour party was in the early 1980s.

Tory outcry hinges on calls for leadership

Article Abstract:

Conservative backbenchers find supporters criticising the government for their policies and lack of leadership. Some letters to MPs (Members of Parliament) offer resignations and many complain about the pit closures. Some experienced backbenchers compare the situation with the split which arose over Suez, when Anthony Eden resigned. Maastricht is not a main cause of complaint.
