While it won't mean much to most of the people here, I find myself looking back on the John Major administration as a beacon of stability and competency. The John Major years, FFS.
I hated Tony Blair when he was in govt, and I did like John Major. Reevaluating later, Blair's government was more competent, stable and presided over a positive time for the UK. In many ways I liked Major because he seemed so inept.
