      title = {The political leadership of Prime Minister John Major : a  reassessment using the Greenstein model /},
      abstract = {This book seeks to re-examine John Majors leadership using  techniques developed through Presidential studies: namely  using Fred Greensteins seminal study of Presidential  leadership, The Presidential Difference, and its six  criteria for leadership (public communicator,  organisational capacity, political skill, public policy  vision, cognitive style, and, finally, emotional  intelligence). It is through Greensteins model that a fresh  look can be taken at not only Majors time in office, but  equally the man himself, which proves to be just as  revealing. Majors tenure has often been characterised as  being weak and incompetent, as he presided over a  sleaze-ridden and divided party on the issue of Europe.  With almost a quarter of a century having passed since  Major left office, it looks to be an appropriate moment to  re-assess his premiership and important role in the recent  seismic events surrounding the 2016 Brexit referendum and  its outcome. Thomas McMeeking is a researcher and teaching  assistant at University of Leeds, UK. His interests  include: Political Parties, Prime Ministerial and  Presidential Leadership studies, and UK and International  Politics.},
