THE question was raised recently about whether William Hague should come back as the Conservative Party leader (HAS, Sept 22).
I hope he does, but unlike last time when he was a young leader and did not get rid of the dead wood already there.
If he comes back, I believe he will do an excellent job, but he must pick the best young MPs he can find to work with him and maybe then we will get rid of the worst Conservative pretenders we have ever seen in power.
It needs a clever, strong person who can lead from the front and Mr Hague now is the only person who can persuade the doubters in the voting public to make this country again a Great Britain and not an Easy Britain in the eyes of the world.
He could even call his party New Conservative. Why not? It worked for Tony Blair.
