Conservative Leadership:
1965: Reginald Maulding, I guess. Seems the least worst of the three.
1975: Margaret Thatcher
1989: Margaret Thatcher
1990: Margaret Thatcher (1st Ballot); John Major (2nd Ballot)
1995: John Major (somewhat reluctantly)
1997: Kenneth Clarke
2001: Iain Duncan Smith (all rounds and membership vote)
2003: I second the "screw this" mentality for this (I would've wrote in Barry Legg had this been allowed for a public vote)
2005: Liam Fox (1st and 2nd Round of MP Vote); David Cameron (Third Round and Membership Vote)
