General Elections during the Steel years, 1979-1987

Collection: Liberal Party from Asquith to Ashdown, 1912–1988 Volumes General Elections during the Steel years, 1979-1987

These records focus on the representation of the Party to the public between 1979 and 1987. As these years brought the Social Democratic Party and the Liberal party together, the records explore how an Alliance could be sustained. The papers also cover European elections in 1984 and tactical voting. The 1980s saw a rise in briefings on 'political warfare' and a tactical focus on student voters as election battles became more technical.
