John Major is probably the only leader in world history to lose an election with such a fantastic economy. Also because Major was backstabbing hypocritical twit who angered, divided and destroyed own political party.

I guess no one else wanted to be the one to replace Thatcher.

Margaret Thatcher came from a middle class background. So did John Major, if I recall correctly.
Hard to imagine what definition of 'middle class' would apply to John Major's upbringing!

John Major was the son of a trapeze artist.

Duncan Smith, the 49-year-old son of a World War II fighter pilot and a ballerina, surprised many by leading the traditionalist Tories in a moderate direction.
"and a ballerina" ... did they know he was a ballerina when they elected him their leader? I realize Conservative M.P.'s like to wear ladies' undergarments, but, come on, a line's got to be drawn somewhere.

Ah! How middle class!
