The election of the leader, by backbench MPs only, is the most undemocratic process in this country. If John Major loses, someone else becomes Prime Minister and hj or she will not have a mandate from the people to govern. The optimum solution is to hold a General Election.

Wbtkin's letter (June 28) I'm not saying that people who bought council houses caused a problem. The Govjrnmjnt chose to sell them, but not replace them at the same rate.
