For sure Maggie would have lost it and Kinnochio and co would be in with a small majority.
But the ERM fiasco would be Labour's baby and the Tories would win in 1997 which would mean no Blair/Brown and we wouldn't be in this mess we are in today.
So retrospectively I would vote Labour.
Thatchers a no-go for me yet Kinnock is an idiot.
Still Ashdowns way to weak so its gonna have to be Kinnock.
leader of the Liberal Democrats from 1988 until August 1999; later he was the international High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina from 27 May 2002 to 30 May 2006, following his vigourous lobbying for military action against Yugoslavia in the 1990s. He was knighted (KBE) in 2000 and became a life peer as Baron Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, of Norton Sub Hamdon in the County of Somerset in the House of Lords after retiring from the Commons in 2001. A gifted polyglot, Ashdown is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and other languages*. He was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (GCMG) in the New Year Honours 2006. In his 2009 autobiography, he revealed that he has worked as a spy for British intelligence.[1]

The electoral system is broken.Margaret Thatcher became a peer in House of Lords in 1992 by the bestowal of a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire.

I think it would have been a very, narrow Thatcher win say 5-10 seats, or a Hung parliament.
