William Hague
I couldn't remember what position William Hague held in Michael Howard's Shadow Cabinet, and apparently - Wikipedia tells me - he didn't have any.It's not a very good Wikipedia article. It seems to imply that the civil war in his Shadow Cabinet between him and Michael Portillo was over Portillo's abandoment of opposition, 'years' of it, to the minimum wage and the BoE independence. Hague was - to my surprise - a comically inept leader, probably the worst Tory head of the 20th century - but surely even he didn't think BoE dependence was a cause worth fighting for?
