Regardless of past history Major was wheeled out to talk about the future and it sounds like sentimental claptrap to me. I wonder of the Tory election 'strategists' have a brain ell between them sometimes. If the SNP have 50 seats max in a very hung parliament it won't just be s problem for Miliband but possibly an even bigger one for Cameron. He should be urging people not to vote SNP or indeed for any of the smaller parties outside the 'big three'
If you must listen to a Tory today then Ken Clarke would do. At least he has his head screwed on

Nice to see most of you attacking the messenger, rather than debating the issue, the issue of the Tory Party bringing out the man responsible for their worst defeat at an Election, ever !
Hopkirk...Yes, I have expressed a certain admiration for JM in the past. He would have made a wonderful Scout Leader, or perhaps the head of your local PTA. He would have been a wonderful neighbour, having all those Black and Decker attachments that you didn't possess. I can't think of a better coach for the Village Boys Cricket Team, or a more capable Chair of the local Neighbourhood Watch Committee.
But as the countries most important Manager, he was hopeless. He was surrounded by bar-stewards ( in his own words !) but he was completely out of his depth and was promoted far above his abilities. His only qualification for taking over as Leader in 1990 was that he wasn't Michael Heseltine, the bogey man of the Tory Party at the time. The Party would have had practically anybody as Leader, rather than Heseltine. As Gromit has suggested, the Tories at the time were mad as a box of frogs. They were tearing themselves apart over Europe and remained out of office for 13 years, and even then couldn't win an Election out-right, instead having to rely of a handful of brown-nosing LibDems, who would sell their own souls for a few precious moments in the sun.
