	William Hague - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hague was born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, a strongly working-class area, and caused a sensation at the age of sixteen by speaking at the Conservative party's 1977 national conference.
		In 1997, Hague was elected leader of the Conservative Party in succession to John Major, in the hope that a fresh young face would counteract the public appeal of Tony Blair.
		As Hague admitted on the morning of Labour's second landslide victory "we have not been able to persuade a majority, or anything approaching a majority, that we are yet the alternative government that they need." The Conservatives won only one more seat in the 2001 General Election than they had in the 1997 election.

	Ffion Jenkins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Ffion Hague (neé Jenkins) is the wife of William Hague, the former leader of the UK Conservative Party (1997-2001).
		Mr Hague met her when he became Secretary of State for Wales in 1995 under the John Major's government.
		Determined not to repeat the faux-pas of his predecessor, John Redwood, who was famously seen miming the words to the Welsh national anthem, Hague recruited a civil servant, Miss Jenkins, to help him learn the words.

	Ffion dreams up strategy to revamp her action man
		WILLIAM HAGUE'S wife, Ffion, is taking a central role in efforts to mould her husband into a loveable and dynamic figure more able to convince voters that he has the qualities to be Prime Minister.
		Ffion, who styles herself Miss Jenkins, was one of a handful of people who joined the Tory leader at a secret meeting of party strategists earlier this summer which devised the plan to present him in a new light.
		The Hagues fly to the United States today for a holiday in Maine, where he intends to teach her to sail.

	BBC News \| WALES \| 'Spin doctor' grooms Ffion's election look
		Ffion Hague will be protected during the forthcoming general election by a personal media adviser.
		It has long been recognised that Oxbridge-educated Ffion Hague - who met her husband in 1995 when he was Secretary of State for Wales and she was his private secretary - plays an important role in her husband's life.
		Two years ago, Mrs Hague became one of the youngest ever women to be appointed to the board of the British Council.

	Independent, The (London): Profile.. Ffion Hague: Acceptable face of conservatism
		Ffion's academic and career prowess and her inordinate self possession can obscure the fact that in the pitfall-strewn world of front-line politics, she is still on a learning curve.
		Ffion, on the other hand, is younger, blamelessly moderate in her politics and carries her feminism light in the form of an uncomplicated belief that women can achieve what they want if only they put their minds to it.
		Ffion was one of the few to ditch him before he could ditch her, sending a note which went: "Dear Darran, Sorry, I won't be going to the rugby with you on Saturday because I'm going with William Hague."

	Profiles of powerful women
		Perhaps it comes as little surprise when you consider that Ffion had refused to play the Tory wife (despite being titular patron of the Conservative Wives Association, her attendance at meetings is not high) beforehand.
		From the moment Ffion stepped on the scene as Willies’s girl, wearing his ’n’ hers casual gear and matching baseball cap at the Notting Hill carnival, the British press decided she was just plain naFf.
		So it is that we have a rather skewed image of Ffion as ‘that nice, demure Welsh girl (isn’t she in PR or something?), when she is far from it.

		Mrs Hague was presented with a bouquet by Alistair McPherson, 17, of Dover Grammar School for Boys, Conservative candidate in the youth elections.
		Mr Hague was introduced by Conservative prospective parliamentary candidate Paul Watkins, who said his party leader was "a podium of common sense in Dover." Mr Hague in turn said Mr Walkins was "a fine advocate for this constituency", citing his campaigns for better transport links for East Kent and for the area's health service.
		Mr Hague used the visit to launch the Conservative Party's asylum policy, the centrepiece of which is to inter refugees in reception centres.

	Tories dodge the Hague question (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		WILLIAM HAGUE is so unpopular with Conservative focus groups that the party has had to change the questions it asks to spare him embarrassment.
		Mr Hague's advisers are particularly frustrated because the focus groups, when asked what they think about the Conservative leader, describe him in terms that his friends regard as wholly inaccurate.
		Mr Hague is so touchy about the focus group findings, which have shown no sign of improvement over recent months, that he decided that shadow cabinet members should be kept away from the evidence-gathering sessions.

		Only on the prickly issue of joining the single European currency has Hague succeeded in setting his party apart, and even that required enormous effort to unite a party deeply divided on the issue.
		Hague stresses populist causes in an apparent effort to bind up the party's core vote, a strategy that — not coincidentally — builds personal support for the leadership fight that an election defeat will almost certainly trigger.
		If Hague goes, as Crewe predicts, shadow chancellor and former Defense Secretary Michael Portillo is the leading possibility as his successor.

		Hague, 33, is no pushover and those who have followed her career still remember the clout she wielded as a civil servant.

		Mr Hague received an enthusiastic standing ovation, although the flag-waving Land of Hope and Glory reception was dropped in an attempt to show that the party was changing.

		Mr Hague confirmed that the party would put measures to strengthen the family and marriage at the centre of its plans for welfare reform.

		But at Notting Hill, Hague and Ffion were mocked for their efforts.

		DIGNAN: Because of Hague's policy changes, there may be a danger that the Conservatives and Labour seem too alike with little to choose between them on issues like taxation and public expenditure.

	HELLO! First Ladies
		Known as William Hague’s “secret weapon”, Ffion Hague has always been relied upon to add a touch of glamour to the rather dowdy image of the Leader of the Opposition.
		Stylish, modern, professional and young — in fact, at 33, she is the youngest Tory leader’s wife in memory — she was even compared to Princess Diana when she first emerged on the public stage.
		She obviously heeded the advice of a stress expert who warned political leaders before the general election that they could suffer burn-out unless they took their partners on the campaign trail with them.

	Evening Standard (London): Abseil, wrestle, hug try them all once, Mr Hague (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A RATHER embarrassing memo was leaked yesterday which outlines Ffion Hague's ideas for enhancing her husband's public image.
		Another brave move would be to get William Hague to judo-wrestle his nieces to the ground, to show that he's in favour of tough parenting, but I think it would be a mistake to get his nieces to hug colourful locals, because you never can tell what they'll do.
		I recog-nise that there is no actual place for Mr Hague himself in this tableau, but, now I come to think of it, it's surely the single visual image that'll guarantee him a surge in the opinion polls come the next party conference.
