John Major terrific on Marr 12 Years, 6 Months ago
He really sounds like he knows and understands what is going on in Europe.
I'm not a Conservative and I loathe Cameron but I wish Major was running things.

Ex-leaders often sound much better once the pressure is off and they can speak their mind. Even Nixon ended up sounding quite sensible about global politics. The problem with Major was that he couldn't control his cabinet, and was terrified of the media, so he'd be hopeless in the current situation (but good sitting on a sofa having a relaxed chat before lunch somewhere nice).
