Outstanding communicator ,never wastes words, and underpinned by excellent values.
-
I miss this type of calm collected type of political debate… I would vote for this man or this type of person
-
Amazing how lucid and coherent he is considering he’s 80.
-
If somebody in the 90s had told me that one day I'd miss John Major, who'd have thought.

While working at a hotel in the midlands we arrived one night to find out that John Major was staying with us. The phone rang just after midnight and the caller said that the the PM was a bit peckish after arriving back late from a public event , and he was enquiring what was available. As we had the keys to the kitchen, we asked what he would like. After a few moments, the answer came back, sausages, chips and peas. And that's what we made for John Major at 1 a.m in the morning.
-
His stature has grown since stepping down as PM. He is a man of integrity.
-
Sir John Major. A good and honourable man. This nation needs men and women possessed by such qualities.
-
As a Labour supporter I really like/respect John Major. Unlike the Conservative Party now, who only care about the rich, John cared about everyone and wanted to make the country he loved better.
-
An excellent talk and discussion by Sir John Major. I miss his integrity and stature as compared to some of the politicians we have and are experiencing today.
-
Happy 80th birthday Mr. Major!
-
Impressive questions from the moderator. This young man has talent.
-
I have been waiting for literally decades to hear any significant figure express John Major's sentiments regarding Security Council reform. An excellent man. I've joined the UN in my country and am promoting his sentiments. Rather than rely on a saviour, I think we all need to contribute to solving problems.
-
I never agreed with John Major on all politics and I never liked him as PM, but he is among the most profound thinkers British politics has seen in the last many decades.
-
The UK seems to lack quality politicians these days
-
Total and utter gentleman and always will be
-
I find John Major to be a wise critical thinker. We need more people like him
-
What an utterly decent man. I salute you mr Major
-
Such an honorable man. So classy to not covet all the glory of the Northern Ireland agreement. Pragmatism has died, sadly. He's the last of an all but extinct breed of politician.
-
I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN
-
I was 11 when John Major lost the 97 election, I never had a much of an opinion of him as i was rather young, but after watching this and listening to the interview he had with Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart, i can see what a thoughtful and articulate man he is. This is the kind person a converative shound be, not the current rable who dont seem to care about anyone but themselves and their pockets.
