not as good as 1992 as nothing will top that Could you please remind me why the '92 was so special? warspite1 Because one party was going to be evicted from Government. It wasn't in dispute, it wasn't up for debate; they were going to lose. Every opinion poll, every expert political commentator said so. And so I settled down expecting to see my worst fears to come true and depart for bed soon after the first few results confirmed it. But.... it didn't happen. Right from the early results coming through, it became clear that something was not right. The vote swing was less than expected - or in some cases, the opposite of what was predicted..... And then the key marginals started to come through... and they didn't all fall. Some big names lost their seats, but enough were holding on. As each result came in the tension, the excitement just grew and grew. Absolutely no chance of going to bed - I could not leave the T.V screen. For pure suspense, tension, gripping drama, surprise there was nothing like it. Incredible.
