. Major

NPR's Michael Goldfarb reports from London that British Prime Minister John Major may soon be forced to call a general election, an election that most polls show would spell an end to the conservative party's rule. The conservative's majority in the House of Commons is dwindling rapidly, some conservatives are defecting, and the conservatives are so busy fighting among themselves that running the country is becoming increasingly difficult for Major.
