Review:
This serves as kind of a post-car crash autopsy on why the Tory Party failed to win in 1997 and has failed since. It's Europe. Conservatives often refer to Europe along the lines of "what was the point in winning WW2?". They don't accept that the electorate does not care about the EU. If the transport infrastructure is failing, education results deteriorating and the job market collapsing who apart from a hardcore could care less about subsidiarity? The irony is of course that the UK economy plus investment in NHS and education had never been higher than in the latter years of Major's administration but instead of trumpeting these "it's the economy stupid" facts the Tories undermined themselves with backbiting and infighting over something most of the UK neither understands nor cares about. Labour's 1983 manifesto may have been the longest suicide note in history but the period 1992-7 was the longest death by a thousand cuts. Major gives the details of this in a rather no holds barred manner but you get the sense that Major would have been happier being PM around the time of MacMillan and Eden before every MP had their own team of spin doctors hardwired to the editorial desk of the Daily Mail. One criticism is that Major does not mention the botched railway privatisation, something that has and will continue to cost the country more economically and socially than Black Wednesday, Gulf War I or the Poll Tax repeal conbined.
