Do you think Major might resign/be knifed around 2000/2001 in this alternate universe, depending on any plan to hand over the leadership/unfavourable polling?

As he would have been PM for a decade by then, I am going to say most probably. And queue an election which Labour would be almost certain to win.
What do you think would be Major"s biggest problems?

Is this a Conservative minority government, a Conservative-Liberal Democratic coalition, or a Conservative majority?

A full Conservative majority. Blair and Brown makes mistakes in the '97 general election.

Mere 'mistakes' during campaigns do not swing elections as this is the UK and not Canada. Smiley
You could have a less savvy Labor leader. That would help.
