I think that the problem the Labour party has is, that for a quarter of a century, it was dominated by the left, it was associated with the loony left, associated with the trade unions, with inflation, with strikes, with the Winter of Discontent. And the Tories were right all along, it turns out, when they said to themselves that, at the last minute, when voters saw the whites of Labour's eyes, they said to themselves 'we cannot have those people in government.'
Anthony King, Professor of Government at Essex University, on BBC One, in the early hours April 10th 1992, as Labour went down to a fourth straight election defeat.
