1992 And All That

How did John Major manage 14 million votes, the most ever cast for any British political party?

By not being Margaret Thatcher. Of course.

How did the allegedly incomparable vote-garnering machine, Tony Blair, never match it?

By being Tony Blair. Of course.

  3. Kinnock was 10 to 20 points ahead of Thatcher. Ditching her saved the Tory party, it would long ago have ceased to exist if that had not happened, the defeat of 1991 or 92 would have been so enormous.
