'''John Major''' (born 29 March 1943) is a [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] politician who served as [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] and Leader of the [[Conservative and Unionist Party|Conservative Party]] from 1990 to 1997. He previously held various Cabinet positions under [[Margaret Thatcher]], most notably as Chief Secretary to the Treasury from 1987 to 1989, Foreign Secretary in 1989 and Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1989 to 1990.<br />
<br />
Major's premiership represented a continuation of Thatcher's [[Neoliberalism|neoliberal]] agenda, with [[Privatization|privatisation]] and deregulation carrying on unchanged with notable policies such as the 1993 privatisation of the railways. However, Major differed from Thatcher in that he adopted a "caring" persona, drawing on [[Proletariat|working class]] roots and language of equality to make his enrichment of the [[bourgeoisie]] more palatable to the proletariat.<ref>{{Citation|last=Haigron|first=David|year=2009|title=Les années John Major 1990-1997|title-url=https://journals.openedition.org/osb/781|chapter=“Caring” John Major : portrait of a Thatcherite as a One-Nation Tory|page=177-196|series=Observatoire de la société britannique|volume=7}}</ref><br />
