abstract
  • The United States of Britain Presidential Election, 1992 was held on November 3rd, 1992 to elect the next President of the USB. The contest was between incumbent Republican President John Major, and Democratic challenger, Neil Kinnock. This election result took many by surprise, as opinion polling leading up to the election day had shown Neil Kinnock, consistently, if narrowly, ahead of President John Major. During his term leading up to the 1992 election he oversaw the British involvement in the Gulf War, introduced legislation to replace the unpopular Community Charge with Council Tax, and signed the Maastricht treaty. The economy was facing a recession, along with most of the other industrialised nations. Because it confounded the opinion polls, the 1992 election was one of the most dramatic elections in the UK since the end of the Second World War.
