He argues that The British voter never gets it wrong. At every election in the past 80 years the right party has won
The 80 years of course takes us back to the first election under universal suffrage and his thesis is established under the 1992 election,when the country rejected Neil Kinnock even in the face of an unpopular Tory party
Neil Kinnock was entirely unsuited to being Prime Minister. His endless whirling speeches showed that. As John Major pricelessly commented, as Kinnock didn't know what he was saying, he never knew when he had finished saying it. And alongside this unsuitability was Labour's programme, still only partly modernised and containing a ragtag of unfunded spending promises and threats of greater regulation.
But are there instances when the wring party one.I tend to agree with Danny over 92 but what about Wilson in 74? Or going back further in time,to the Tory wins in 1950 and 51.
I am sure this debate will run and run today
