The Wit and Wisdom of... John Major

I know how hard so many of you have worked. I know how much you have sacrificed, given up, hoped, dreamed for a different result and a different outcome tonight. It hasn't proved that way. I don't think there is much we left undone which we could have done. There are some times in politics when the ball just rolls in the opposite direction, and there isn't a great deal you can do about it.
