Sir John Major is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1990 to 1997. Major was Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Thatcher Government from 1989 to 1990, was Member of Parliament for Huntingdon from 1979 until his retirement in 2001.

Shortly after this, in what came to be known as Black Wednesday, his government was forced to withdraw the pound sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism; this event led to a loss of confidence in Conservative economic policies and Major was never able to achieve a lead in opinion polls again. Despite the eventual revival of economic growth amongst other successes such as the beginnings of the Northern Ireland peace process, by the mid-1990s, the Conservative Party was embroiled in scandals involving various MPs. Criticism of Major's leadership reached such a pitch that he chose to resign as party leader in June 1995, challenging his critics to either back him or challenge him.
