Oh Mr Hague, you've become such a bore about Europe

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative party presents its European policy very forcefully, bringing the risk of making listeners very bored. It is not plausible for party leader William Hague to claim that the treaty of Nice should not be ratified while insisting that he favours European Union enlargement.

The ghost of Mr Hague wants to tell his story

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative party should look closely at the record of outgoing leader William Hague as it goes through the process of choosing a new leader. It is argued that one of Hague's most serious mistakes was to associate himself with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Hague should take Disraeli as a role model to deal with the New Whigs

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative party has not performed particularly well since it lost the general election in May 1997. However, party leader William Hague has gained valuable experience, and he is now beginning to develop policies that could highlight the vulnerabilities of New Labour. As New Labour comes to resemble a modern Whig party more and more closely, Hague is seeking to establish the Conservatives as the party of more extensive personal and direct democracy. However, he is still disadvantaged by the fact that people do not really know who he is.
