The roundly vilified Michael Foot was leading in the Polls as Thatchers 1st Recession hit and the increase in VAT from 8 to 15% bit.
Cue the Falklands, '83 GE and a Tory majority of 144.

Something I’ve been mulling over, there’s never been a landslide majority government during my adult life when I was engaged with politics and don’t have any experience of it... Are we fully at the mercy of Boris and the Tory government for the next 5 years? Is there anything the opposition can do and what can we do other than try and help the people in need in our local communities?
