What is to be done with the helpless and hapless Mr Hague?
Article Abstract:
It is widely believed that the current poor performance of the UK Conservative party is merely a consequence of the prevailing political situation. However, this is not necessarily the case. The Conservative party could help itself by opposing the government more actively. Party leader William Hague is very unlikely to be removed from his position before the next general election, but his strategy of appeasing the right wing of the party is still misguided.

Blair's 'House of Cronies.'
Article Abstract:
The UK Conservative party has been critical of the legislative package set down by the government in the 1998 Queen's Speech. Conservative leader William Hague claimed that Prime Minister Tony Blair was focusing too much on the priorities of the Labour party, while Blair claimed that he is seeking to secure a better future for the country as a whole. He defended the decision to abolish the rights of the 750 hereditary peers in the House of Lords.
