Re: michael howard
Michael Howard has announced he will stand down as Conservative leader - but not until the rules for choosing a successor are reformed.
Mr Howard said he had failed to deliver the election victory he wanted and it was in the interests of the country and the party to go.
However, as there was widespread dissatisfaction with the existing rules on choosing a leader, he urged the party to reconsider them.
Until then, he would remain in the post.
