Below is the conclusion from Penny Junor's book about John Major. Available from Politico's, ISBN 0-718-3704-3.

"Mrs Thatcher's style suited the brash, greedy 1980's. We were glad of a change for the 1990s. The modest, well-mannered Mr Major felt right, his ideas of a classless society, in which everyone might have the chance to prosper, struck a chord. Once the country is on its feet again, I have no doubt we will come to appreciate his qualities."
