History does seem to repeat itself. There are a lot of parallels now to the Major government in the mid 90's. A weak, ineffectual "leader", a voting minority in the Commons, a lack of "equality" in society both perceived & in reality, in-fighting within the Conservative party (as I seem to recall over Europe) & a dose of sleaze thrown in for good measure. We all know what happened next. Jeremy just needs to bide his time.
