 Conservative Party (UK) leadership election, 1995 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For some years the Conservative Party had been deeply divided on the issue of the European Union and there had been much speculation each year that Major would be challenged for the leadership during the annual re-election of the leader each November.
The 1995 Conservative leadership election was initiated when incumbent leader and Prime Minister John Major resigned as leader on June 22, 1995, in order to face down critics within his party.
Major had both an outright majority and the necessary 15% margin, but had received only three more votes than his private minimum target of 215.

 Maastricht Rebels Online Research :: Information about Maastricht Rebels
In the Politics of the United Kingdom, the Maastricht Rebels were Member of Parliament of the then governing Conservative Party (UK) who refused to support the government of John Major in a House of Commons vote to secure ratification by the United Kingdom of the Maastricht treaty (Treaty on European Union).
Later the same day, John Major 's threat of a dissolution was realised when the Government moved a new motion, differently worded to its predecessor and seeking the "confidence" of the House in their policy on the Social Chapter instead of merely "taking note" thereof.
John Major threatened the rebels with a general election, which would have meant annihilation for the Conservative Party.

 History of the Minnesota Electronic Democracy Project
The infrastructure for the project was in place and open to the public by late August, well in time for the Minnesota primaries in early September, when the major parties would choose their candidates.
The media took an interest in the project, the League of Women Voters of MN agreed to co-sponsor the project, and, one by one, the two major party candidates running for the United States Senate, and the two major candidates running for Governor of the Minnesota agreed to participate.
Originally, the project was designed to create a place on the Internet for the public to access information from the candidates and about the candidates running for office in the up-coming state and national elections in November, 1994.

 Bank of England auctions off UK gold reserves
The sale of 125 tonnes by the UK over two years needs to be seen in perspective, particularly in the context of there being no major official sector gold sales in 1998 or in the first half of this year.
The auction process will thus be open to the biggest and most active UK and foreign institutions in the international bullion market, of which London is the major centre.
UK sales of 125 tonnes compare to global annual mining output of over 2,500 tonnes (according to Gold Fields Mineral Services) and total world holding of gold of over 100,000 tonnes (according to the IMF) of which over half (around 60,000 tonnes) is held in private hands.

 Conservative Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anticipating the growing euroscepticism within his party, John Major negotiated a British opt-out from the single currency in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, although several members of Major's cabinet (Kenneth Clarke, Michael Heseltine, Stephen Dorrell) were personally supportive of EMU participation.
Conservatives are also generally opposed to devolution to the national and English regions of the UK, prefering a unitary centralised state.
Though the Conservatives were considered to be the dominant governing party in the United Kingdom for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries, since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party under Tony Blair, they have been in 'opposition' in Parliament.

 Independent school (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public schools are often divided into "major" and "minor" public schools, but these are not official definitions and the inclusion of a school in one or the other group is purely subjective (although a select few would be included in any list of "major" schools).
University College School, founded in 1830 as part of University College London, was unique in that it neither took boarders nor gave religious education; indeed, by not limiting its intake to a specific religious denomination, it gained the claim of being the first truly "public" school, open to all.
A public school (in the independent sense) usually teaches children from the ages of either 11 or 13 to 18, and was traditionally a single-sex boarding school, although many now accept day pupils and are coeducational.

 UK Conservative Party, Overview
She constructed a new social base of support for her party that came less from the traditional conservatives' backers, the upper classes and landed gentry, than from the middle classes and skilled workers who felt increasingly discontent and unrepresented by the traditional policies and orientations of the two major political parties.
In 1975, Margaret Thatcher, the first woman who became leader of a major political party in Britain, ousted Heath followers from key party posts and declared that state involvement in social and economic matters had to be decreased.
In February of 1974, a miner's strike caused Heath to call a general election in the hope of strengthening the government's mandate.

Western Finland, for example, spans four major linguistic and dialectal areas (Pohjanmaa dialect, Southwestern dialects, Savo in Ähtäri, and some Swedish speakers in the area around Vaasa).
This system was created in 1634, and underwent few major changes until the redivision of the country into "greater provinces" in 1997.
The beginning of Finland's nearly 700-year association with the Kingdom of Sweden is traditionally connected with the year 1154 and the hypothesized introduction of Christianity by Sweden's King Erik.

Every vote gained by a major party taking that policy would lose them one.
It can only gain influence by using an issue or group of issues where the majority are either opposed or indifferent to the positions of the major parties.
A party that made its main platform the reversing of all the pointless restrictions on individual freedom that have come in during the last decades might draw a large enough vote to encourage other parties to take on the agenda.
