1992 Tour de France, Race overview
All total the stage was just over 250 km long and by the time he crossed the finish line Chiappucci had ridden nearly half of it on a solo attack and collected an enormous amount of King of the Mountains points, a classification he would win. He won the stage convincingly more than a minute and a half ahead of Vona, but Induráin was able to limit his losses to under two minutes while also dropping the remainder of GC riders and taking the yellow jersey from Lino. Chiappucci was now in 2nd overall, Bugno rose to third and Lino, who had held the jersey for eleven stages, fell to fourth.

Coming entirely unhinged for the first time in his legendary career was Greg LeMond. He finished within a grupetto of sprinters just inside the time limit with teammate Atle Kvålsvoll staying behind to assist him. He dropped nearly forty places in the standings and he was hounded by the press until he reached his hotel elevator. At one point both LeMond and Kvålsvoll said the same thing to the press, "Things are unexplainable." The next day he would abandon the Tour.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
All drug tests had returned negative and while there were whispers of a new undetectable drug known as EPO being out there, it was not known to be as widespread within the peloton as it would become in just a few years. Stage fourteen was another day of grueling climbing; beginning at Sestriere and moving back into France for the final time finishing at the mountaintop resort of Alpe d'Huez. For the second day in a row Andy Hampsten and Franco Vona were at the front of the race with or ahead of the GC contenders. For the second day in a row Vona finished 2nd as Andy Hampsten became the only American to ever win atop Alpe D'Huez. Hampsten had moved into the top 10 the day before and now had risen to the final podium position as Vona entered the top 10.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
As far as the yellow jersey was concerned Bugno lost considerable time and dropped to 5th below Lino, who rode well enough to maintain 4th place. Chiappucci and Induráin crossed the line together; as once Bugno was dropped all Induráin needed to do to firmly consolidate his position was mark Chiappucci. Neither Hampsten, who now occupied 3rd at +8:01, nor Chiappucci who was only +1:42 behind seemed to pose a threat to Induráin. With no big mountain stages remaining, the only stage that was likely to create time differences between the favourites was the time trial in stage nineteen and a few days earlier Induráin had already proven himself to be the most dominant time trialist in the race.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
Stages fifteen and sixteen were both intermediate stages that went through the Massif Central section of France. Franco Chioccioli won stage fifteen crossing the line solo ahead of Dmitri Konyshev by +0:42,  and in stage sixteen Stephen Roche beat Viatcheslav Ekimov by +0:46. In both stages the GC riders were not far behind. In stage seventeen Maassen, Sergeant, Louviot, Nulens and Jean-Claude Colotti were at the front of an escape group that finished more than +15:00 ahead of the peloton. Colotti would eventually attack this group and beat them to the line by more than three minutes. In stage eighteen Thierry Marie bested Museeuw and Nijdam in the sprint finish.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
Stage nineteen was the final individual time trial and as was anticipated Induráin dominated the field and all but finalized his 2nd Tour de France victory. Bugno rode strongly finishing 2nd forty seconds behind. Everyone else was beyond +2:00 and the most important changes included Chiappucci now being +4:35 behind locking up 2nd place overall, and being as Bugno had a considerably better ride than Hampsten and Lino, he jumped both of them in the standings and took over the final podium position.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
The final two stages were flat stages and in stage twenty Peter De Clercq won the sprint ahead of Vanzella and Laurent. On the final stage, which finished on the Champs Elysees, the sprint was fought over by Frankie Andreu, Søren Lilholt, Laurent Jalabert, Johan Museeuw, Jean-Paul Van Poppel and Olaf Ludwig with Ludwig winning the day and taking his second career Tour de France stage victory.


1992 Tour de France, Race overview
The final podiums included Laurent Jalabert in the green jersey, Claudio Chiappucci as the king of the mountains winner as well as the Most Combative Rider. His team Carrera Jeans–Vagabond also won the team competition. Eddy Bouwmans won the white jersey as the best young rider. Miguel Induráin won his second consecutive Tour and joined the elite group of Coppi, Anquetil, Merckx and Hinault as the only riders to complete the Giro-Tour double.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
There were several classifications in the 1992 Tour de France. The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
There was also a mountains classification. The organisation had categorised some climbs as either hors catégorie, first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and wore a white jersey with red polka dots.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
The fourth individual classification was the young rider classification, which was not marked by a jersey in 1992. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders under 26 years were eligible.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time.

In addition, there was a combativity award given after each mass-start stage to the cyclist considered most combative. The decision was made by a jury composed of journalists who gave points. The cyclist with the most points from votes in all stages led the combativity classification. Claudio Chiappucci won this classification, and was given overall the super-combativity award. In 1992, there was a special classification because of the Maastricht Treaty, that created the European Union.


1992 Tour de France, Classification leadership and minor prizes
In the 1992 Tour de France, a national border was crossed seven times, and every time there was a special sprint, where points could be earned. This classification was won by Viatcheslav Ekimov. The "Association Française pour un Sport sans violence et pour le Fair-play" awarded the Fair Play award in the Tour for the first time. It was given to Stephen Roche. The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given in honour of Tour founder Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass the summit of the Col du Galibier on stage 14. This prize was won by Franco Chioccioli.

The Trojans played their home games at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy, Alabama. This was Troy State's transitional season as they were moving from NCAA Division II to the NCAA's Division I-AA.


1992 Troy State Trojans football team
The Trojans finished the regular season with only one loss, culminating in a 10-1 record. Despite the successful record, Troy State was not given a Division II ranking, nor a Division I-AA ranking for the season. They were also not eligible to compete in postseason playoffs.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game
The 1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game is the highest-scoring men's basketball game in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) history, regardless of division classification. On January 12, 1992, Troy State University, now known as Troy University, defeated DeVry University of Atlanta 258–141 in a game that is considered to have established several unbreakable records.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, Background
During the 1991–92 college basketball season, Troy State was playing its next to last year as an NCAA Division II school before transitioning to Division I. They were led by head coach Don Maestri, whose unconventional offense-oriented system led to incredibly high-scoring games; that season, Troy State led all of Division II with a 121.0 points per game scoring average (while also giving up 107.8 per game). They attempted an NCAA-record 1,303 three-pointers in 1991–92 and scored on 444 of them.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, Background
Maestri's philosophy was to unapologetically attempt steals on an opponent's every possession, and if they missed the steal, they allowed the opponent to score as long as they scored quickly. He substituted players regularly and knew that his track-meet style of pressure would eventually wear out the other team. Once tired, his Troy State squads would continue to relentlessly pursue opponents on the defensive end; on offense, no shot was considered a bad shot, and the quicker the attempt, the better. The high-octane offense used by Troy State was modeled after Paul Westhead's Loyola Marymount teams of the era; Maestri even had Westhead mail him Loyola Marymount game tapes to study the plays and methods used by the successful Division I school.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, Background
Heading into the match-up against DeVry University of Atlanta, the Trojans sported a 12–3 record while the DeVry Hoyas had a 3–15 record. DeVry was classified as a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II school; it struggled to get wins against comparably talented opponents, let alone high-octane, successful NCAA Division II schools. The previous season, Troy State had set the NCAA record for points in a game with 187 – also against DeVry of Atlanta. Stacking the odds further against DeVry was that they had only seven players, thus any chance of resting and catching their breath during substitutions was minimal at best.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
After tip-off, Troy State scored their first basket after 54 seconds. Player Paul Bryan later said, jokingly, "It was a little touch and go there early." Despite their frenetic pace, the Trojans "only" had 15 points after the first three minutes. As the game settled into its soon-to-be record breaking pace, points came steadily; with 3:14 remaining in the first half, Troy eclipsed the 100-point mark. Guard Tommy Davis said, "When you see one guy hitting, then everybody gets in the act. It becomes contagious." At the end of the first half, the score was 123–53. They made 21 three-pointers in the first 20 minutes, and their 123 points had already broken their own NCAA single-half record from the year before (103), also set against DeVry.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
Within the first three minutes of the second half, the Trojans scored 26 points and had already accumulated 149 overall with 17 minutes remaining. It was not until 6:35 into the second half that Troy State scored their first points of the half that were not three-pointers or dunks. With 10 minutes remaining, Chris Greasham's three-pointer gave Troy 189, eclipsing the previous NCAA single-game scoring record of 187. Then, with 7:53 to go, they surpassed the 200-point mark, becoming the first and only team in college basketball history to surpass this threshold.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
The scoreboard was not built to display 200+ points, and so when the moment occurred, it did not display the numbers correctly (the scoreboard operator's solution was to start over at zero). During the second half alone, the Trojans scored 135 points, besting their minutes-old record of 123, and their 30 three-pointers in the second stanza was higher than the NCAA all-time full-game record of 25 (set previously by Troy). Their 51 made three-point field goals more than doubled that record, and their 109 three-point attempts record has never been seriously contested.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
Tommy Davis remarked that the game "reminded [him] of a street game you play in the summer." Jack Smith credited their home crowd to giving players the extra energy they needed to maintain the record-shattering pace: "It seems almost impossible to hit 200 points in a game. It's a great, great feeling. The crowd played a big part in us getting the record. Their hollering gave us the energy we needed."


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
For the game, 10 of the 11 Troy State players scored in double figures. Terry McCord, who the following season would be named an NCAA Division II All-American, led the team with 41 points on 16-for-26 shooting. The only player not to score in double figures was Andy Davis, who made the game's first basket and finished 1-for-1. Eight of the 11 Trojans scored at least 20 points, and of those, five scored at least 29. Smith recorded the game's only triple-double, with 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, The game
Of the many statistical anomalies to occur in this high-scoring game, one was that only three total free throws were attempted between the teams (Troy attempted, and made, all three). DeVry's Clayton Jones had 19 of the Hoyas' 44 turnovers by himself, while DeVry's Dartez Daniel scored a game-high 42 points on 20-for-30 shooting.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, Aftermath
The January 12, 1992, game between Troy State and DeVry remains the highest-scoring single game in NCAA history. Seven statisticians worked for 57 minutes after the game ended to complete its box score. Among records considered unbreakable are total combined points (399), points by one team in one half (135), and three-pointers made and attempted (51/109) by one team in a single game. That season, Troy State compiled a 23–6 overall record while setting many school records along the way, including single-season scoring average (121.0), field goals made and attempted (1,274/2,839), three-pointers made and attempted (444/1,303), and steals (460).


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, Aftermath
They also set single-game records for points (258), points in a half (135), field goals made and attempted (102/190), rebounds (94), assists (65), and total combined points for two teams in a single game. Troy State lost in the first round of the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Trojans have since transitioned to NCAA Division I, and the school changed its name to the current Troy University in 2005; while they have won six conference championships through the 2019–20 season, they have reached the NCAA Division I Tournament just twice. DeVry University, meanwhile, dropped its entire athletics program from its Atlanta campus in the 1990s. Its teams were rarely competitive, and the cost to maintain sports outweighed the returns. The basketball team finished the 1991–92 season with a 3–16 record.


1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game, 2017 video analysis
On March 13, 2017, SB Nation's Jon Bois published a video in which he argued that the correct final score of the game should have been Troy State 253, DeVry 141. Relying on a single continuous recording of the game posted to YouTube, Bois counted all made baskets and arrived at 253 points for Troy State. He identified two potential scorer's errors: a Troy State dunk that went in after the horn had errantly blown that resulted in a return of the ball to Troy State, and an attempted three-point basket that ended with the ball lodged between the backboard and rim.


1992 Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team
The 1992 Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team represented the University of Tulsa during the 1992 NCAA Division I-A football season.

The team's statistical leaders included quarterback Gus Frerotte with 1,467 passing yards, Lamont Headd with 827 rushing yards, and Gary Brown with 560 receiving yards.


1992 Turkmenistan presidential election
Presidential elections were held in Turkmenistan on 21 June 1992, the first since independence. The sole candidate was  Saparmurat Niyazov, who had served as the first Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Turkmen SSR since 21 December 1985. Other candidates were not allowed to participate in the elections.


1992 Turkmenistan presidential election
According to official data, 99.5% of voters voted in favour of Niyazov, with voter turnout at 99.8%.


1992 Turkmenistan presidential election, Background
The post of President of the Turkmenistan SSR was introduced in the second half of 1990, before independence and the official adoption of the new constitution of the independent Turkmenistan. Niyazov had been the only candidate in the October 1990 elections, in which it was reported 98.3% of voters voted for him. After Turkmenistan gained independence as a result of the collapse of the USSR, Niyazov proposed to the Supreme Council that national elections should be held.


1992 Turkmenistan presidential election, Aftermath
The next presidential elections were due to be held in 1999, but following a referendum on the presidential term in 1994, Niyazov's term of office was extended until 2002. The 2002 elections were never held as Niyazov was declared President for life by the Mejlis of Turkmenistan on 28 December 1999. The next presidential elections were held only in February 2007, after the death of Niyazov.

1992 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year, Summary
The industry finally received a levy of sorts. On 10 March Tory chancellor Norman Lamont announced a reduction in betting tax and asked the bookmakers for a voluntary arrangement whereby a fund could be directed to the greyhound racing industry. He had given a clear signal that he expected bookmakers to pay the industry and the British Greyhound Racing Fund was born. This fund relied on the voluntary payments of bookmakers and the big three firms Ladbrokes, William Hill and Corals paid and encouraged smaller bookmakers to participate.


1992 UK & Ireland Greyhound Racing Year, Summary
The positive was the fact that bookmakers had agreed but the negative was the fact that the payment equated to 0.25%. The proposed payment resulted in the Greyhound Board refusing to agree with a fund that was controlled by the bookmakers. However they would eventually give in and accepted the £1.2 million, which mainly went back into prize money.

1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match
Ukraine v Hungary (29 April 1992) was the first international game for the Ukraine national football team to be recognised by FIFA. The game took place in the city of Uzhhorod close to the border with Hungary in the spring of 1992 and saw Hungary win 3–1.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Background
This game was organized almost by accident. The president of FFU was on vacation with his wife in Budapest. Walking the streets of the city, they ended up by the doors to the Hungarian Football Federation and decided to enter. With the help of his wife who knew English, they agreed to play a game between the two national teams.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Background
At first they come up with the date of 28 April, but because of Viktor Bannikov's birthday it was agreed to postpone it to 29 April. The place also was changed from the original at Olympic NSC in Kyiv to the Avanhard in Uzhhorod, because of financial difficulties. Those difficulties also contributed to the hardship of gathering the national team of the FFU because the Federation could not afford to pay a plane ticket of some of the footballers.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Background
On the other hand, Hungary also did not seem to be such a difficult opponent finishing in the fourth place of Group 3 during the UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying event. However the Hungarians managed to pull a surprising draw during the game in Moscow with József Kiprich being the major hero of the Mighty Magyars at that time. Hungarians did manage to bring their optimal team roster to the game in Uzhhorod, the central stadium of which was filled as never before. Emerich Jenei in his career as a coach effectively led his teams in the games against the Soviet Union national football team and had some world-class experience qualifying to the 1990 World Cup in Italy.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Background
The FFU wanted to see Valery Lobanovskiy as the head coach, but he was under the contract with United Arab Emirates national football team and the Ukrainian federation could not afford to pay cancellation of his contract. So, from the three candidates who agreed to pledge their services, the first coach of the Ukraine national football team was chosen Viktor Prokopenko coaching FC Chornomorets Odesa. Chornomorets at that time finished fourth in the Soviet Top League 1991 season and was the top representative of the Ukrainian football. Other two candidates were Anatoliy Puzach (FC Dynamo Kyiv) and Valeriy Yaremchenko (FC Shakhtar Donetsk). Prokopenko's assistants were chosen Mykola Pavlov (Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk) and Leonid Tkachenko (Metalist Kharkiv).


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Perspective
The Ukrainian national team at that time seemed simply as an alternative, a type of B-team to the post-Soviet football project of CIS national football team. In 1992 it was even planned to conduct the CIS club championship which ultimately did not realize. Concurrently with the game in Uzhhorod between Ukraine and Hungary the CIS team played its own friendly against the England national football team. The main Ukrainian international candidates chose to travel to Moscow among them were Akhrik Tsveiba, Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko, Volodymyr Lyutyi, Andrei Kanchelskis, Sergei Yuran, and Viktor Onopko. Mykhailichenko was given the captain's handband which he kept until the disbandment of the CIS team. For the post-Soviet team that was the first friendly after their intensive winter tour from January 25 to February 19 when the team has played five games.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Perspective
Even with the above-mentioned players being involved in the preparation to the Euro-92 Prokopenko still had some resources to choose from, such as Oleh Protasov, Oleh Kuznetsov, and other. However, because the financing of the Ukrainian Federation ceased from Moscow, being left with only what was available within the country. Ukraine also did not have its own embassies which only added extra hardship to rally players numerous of whom played abroad in Germany, Israel, and elsewhere. Prokopenko managed to obtain the "allegiance" from two of the former Soviet internationals and one CIS "drop-out": Oleh Luzhny, Ivan Hetsko, and Yuriy Nikiforov.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Perspective
Another promising player was Serhiy Scherbakov that together with Onopko, Nikiforov, and Serhiy Bezhenar played for the Soviet Olympic team (U-21). Prokopenko also managed to invite some Russian-born players such as Yudin and Salenko who at that time played in Ukraine. Important also that both Hetsko and Shelepnytsky had been recently rallied by Byshovets for the Italian tour in the winter of 1991 when the Soviet team played series of friendlies with selected clubs.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Perspective
The Prokopenko's team however fell apart by the end of 1992 and only few players continued their international career under the blue-yellow flag. Interesting is another fact that good portion of this team later joined the Romantsev's FC Spartak Moscow that was among the top European clubs in early 90s.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Squads
The list of 20 players for the first game of the Ukrainian national team was such,

The game itself according to the Komanda newspaper was less rich on events as the whole period of it organization. The weather at the Avanhard stadium was more than favorable for the football festival with a sun shining all day with +22°C. At first Shelepnytskyi wasted an opportunity to open the score by striking the goal-post, then the referee, Vadim Zhuk (Belarus), was indecisive to point to a penalty mark for the foul against Scherbakov.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Details
And after the break all the fire for a victory was lost to the guest team and with it the whole game. In the second half several quick and nice Hungarian counter-attacks were accented by good finishing performances from Salloi and Kiprich and made out of the newly formed national team the team of a school boys. About five minutes to the end of the match Kiprich realized a penalty nicely settling the ball in the left low corner and setting Kutepov off-balance in opposite direction. At the end on the 90th minute, after trailing 0:3, the Ukrainians managed on a consolidation goal from Hetsko scoring the free-kick. Hetsko made a history becoming the author of the first goal of the national team and the only one in his career on such level.


1992 Ukraine v Hungary football match, Details
Note that attendance might not be precised, because of various reasons. One sources claim eleven thousand another thirteen thousands. However considering that Avanhard itself has capacity to hold 12,000 it would be safe to assume that the stadium was filled at least to its near limit.


1992 Ukrainian Cup
Like the championship, the first edition of the Cup had a tight schedule as the Football Federation of Ukraine was given just several months in order to switch to the European seasonal format with the minimum required matches played.

The highest attending game happened to be in the Round of 16 when FC Skala Stryi were playing against FC Dynamo Kyiv in the city of Stryi in front of 17,000 spectators.

The lowest attendance of the competition was in the game between Kolos Nikopol and Polissia Zhytomyr which took place on February 16, 1992, just outside the city of Nikopol in Chkalove village and was witnessed only by 150 people. The highest scoring game took place in Odessa when the local Chornomorets avenged its poor performance in Zhytomyr by beating Polissia 7:1. The biggest margin in goals scored was recorded in Zaporizhia when the local Metalurh won over Vahonobudivnyk 7:0. The most surprising was the elimination of the Soviet Cup participant Dynamo Kyiv that lost its quarterfinal stand off against the Zaporizhian Automakers 1:2 in aggregate.

1992 Ukrainian First League was the first Ukrainian First League season with the record number of teams participating in the league at 28 divided into groups. The season started on March 14 and finished July 5, 1992.


1992 Ukrainian First League
At the end of the season the five worst teams from each of the two groups were relegated to the Ukrainian Second League (the third tier). The winners of each group qualified for the top league for the next season. Somewhat surprising was the performance of such teams as Pryladyst Mukacheve and Artania Ochakiv that were just a few points short of qualifying for the Ukrainian Premier League.


1992 Ukrainian First League, Teams
In the 1992 season, the Ukrainian First League consisted mostly of clubs that had competed in the Soviet Second League (Ukrainian Zone). The league was split into two groups A (mostly western and central Ukraine) and B (mostly eastern and southern Ukraine).


1992 Ukrainian Transitional League
The 1992 Ukrainian Transitional League was the first season of 3rd level professional football in Ukraine.

The season stretched from April 4, 1992, through July 4, 1992.


1992 Ukrainian Transitional League, Organization
After the fall of the Soviet Union of January 1, 1992, there were many Ukrainian clubs that participated in all tiers of the Soviet League system. Most of them were organized into pools for the Supreme (I tier) and the First (II tier) leagues of Ukraine. The participants of those two league also were included into the 1992 Ukrainian Cup competition.


1992 Ukrainian Transitional League, Organization
The Supreme League of Ukraine composed of the groups included all six Ukrainian clubs of the Soviet Supreme League, both Ukrainian clubs of the Soviet First League, and most of the Ukrainian clubs (9) except the last two of the West Zone of the Soviet Second League also known as the Buffer League to differentiate it from the Soviet Lower Second League (B).

The top four club from each group would qualify for the Second League, while the bottom five from each group would organize the next season's Transitional League.


1992 United Kingdom general election
The 1992 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday 9 April 1992, to elect 651 members to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The election resulted in the fourth consecutive victory for the Conservative Party since 1979 and would be the last time that the Conservatives would win an overall majority at a general election until 2015 and would be the last general election to be held on a day which didn’t coincide with any local elections until 2017. This election result took many by surprise, as opinion polling leading up to the election day had shown the Labour Party, under leader Neil Kinnock, consistently, if narrowly, ahead.


1992 United Kingdom general election
John Major had won the Conservative Party leadership election in November 1990 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. During his first 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. Britain was sliding into its second recession in a decade at the time of Major's appointment.


1992 United Kingdom general election
Opinion polls in the run-up to the election had suggested that it would end in a hung parliament or a narrow Labour majority. The fact that it produced a Conservative majority meant that it was one of the most dramatic and memorable elections in the UK since the end of the Second World War.


1992 United Kingdom general election
The BBC's live television broadcast of the election results was presented by David Dimbleby, Peter Snow, Tony King and John Cole. On ITV, the ITN-produced coverage was presented by Jon Snow, Alastair Stewart, and Julia Somerville, with Sir Robin Day performing the same interviewing role for ITV as he had done for the BBC on many previous election nights. Sky News presented full coverage of a general election night for the first time. Their coverage was presented by David Frost, Michael Wilson, Selina Scott, Adam Boulton and political scientist Michael Thrasher, with former BBC political journalist Donald MacCormick presenting analysis of the Scottish vote.


1992 United Kingdom general election
The Conservative Party received what remains the largest number of votes at a United Kingdom general election in British history, breaking the previous record set by the Labour Party in 1951.


1992 United Kingdom general election
Former Conservative Leader and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Former Labour Party leader Michael Foot, former SDP leader David Owen, three former Chancellors of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson, former Home Secretary Merlyn Rees, Francis Maude, Norman Tebbit, Rosie Barnes, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and Speaker of the House of Commons Bernard Weatherill left the House of Commons as a result of this election, though Maude and Adams returned at the next election.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Overview
The Conservatives had been re-elected in a landslide at the 1987 general election under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher, who had led the party back into power in 1979 and won a landslide majority in 1983, but her popularity and that of her government sharply declined due to internal divisions in the party and the unpopular Community Charge (also known as the 'poll tax'), as well as the fact that Britain was sliding into recession in the run-up to her resignation in November 1990.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Overview
Labour began to lead the Conservatives in the opinion polls by as much as 20 percentage points. Thatcher resigned following the party leadership ballot in November 1990, initiated by Michael Heseltine, and was replaced by her Chancellor of the Exchequer John Major. This was well received by the public; Labour lost some momentum as it reduced the impact of their calls for "Time for a Change".


1992 United Kingdom general election, Overview
On 16 January 1991, Operation Desert Storm began the Gulf War, the Major ministry's first foreign affairs crisis. The quick and successful outcome on the conflict led to a boost in opinion polls for Major, in spite of the deepening recession and rising unemployment. Another boost in the pools for Major was his announcement that the unpopular community charge (poll tax) would be replaced with the Council Tax. The Labour opposition made repeated calls for a general election to be held during 1991, but Major resisted these calls.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Overview
As 1992 dawned, the recession had still not ended, unemployment now topped 2.5 million and the election loomed, with most opinion polls suggested that the election would produce a hung parliament or a narrow Labour majority, although the lead in the polls had shifted between Tory and Labour on several occasions since November 1990.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Overview
Parliament was due to expire no later than 16 June 1992. Major called the election on 11 March, as was widely expected, the day after Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont had delivered the Budget. The Conservatives maintained strong support in many newspapers, especially The Sun, which ran a series of anti-Labour articles that culminated on election day with a front-page headline which urged "the last person to leave Britain" to "turn out the lights" if Labour won the election.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
The 50th Parliament of the United Kingdom sat for the last time on Monday 16 March, being dissolved on the same day. Under the leadership of Neil Kinnock, the Labour Party had undergone further developments and alterations since its 1987 general election defeat. Labour entered the campaign confident, with most opinion polls showing a slight Labour lead that if maintained suggested a hung parliament, with no single party having an overall majority.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
The parties campaigned on the familiar grounds of taxation and health care. Major became known for delivering his speeches while standing on an upturned soapbox during public meetings. Immigration was also an issue, with Home Secretary Kenneth Baker making a controversial speech stating that, under Labour, the floodgates would be opened for immigrants from developing countries. Some speculated that this was a bid by the Conservatives to shore up its support amongst its white working-class supporters. The Conservatives also pounded the Labour Party over the issue of taxation, producing a memorable poster entitled "Labour's Double-Whammy", showing a boxer wearing gloves marked "tax rises" and "inflation".


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
An early setback for Labour came in the form of the "War of Jennifer's Ear" controversy, which questioned the truthfulness of a Labour party election broadcast concerning National Health Service (NHS) waiting lists.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
Labour seemingly recovered from the NHS controversy, and opinion polls on 1 April (dubbed "Red Wednesday") showed a clear Labour lead. But the lead fell considerably in the following day's polls. Observers blamed the decline on the Labour Party's triumphalist "Sheffield Rally", an enthusiastic American-style political convention at the Sheffield Arena, where Neil Kinnock famously cried out "We're all right!" three times. However, some analysts and participants in the campaign believed it actually had little effect, with the event only receiving widespread attention after the election.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
This was the first general election for the newly formed Liberal Democrats, a party formed by the formal merger of the SDP-Liberal Alliance following the 1987 general election. Its formation had not been without its problems, but under the strong leadership of Paddy Ashdown, who proved to be a likeable and candid figure, the party went into the election ready to win votes and seats. They focused on education throughout the campaign, as well as a promise on reforming the voting system.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Campaign
The weather was largely dull for most of the campaign, but sunny conditions on 9 April may have been a factor in the high turnout.


1992 United Kingdom general election, Minor parties
In Scotland the Scottish National Party (SNP) hoped for a major electoral breakthrough in 1992 and had run a hard independence campaign with "Free by '93" as their slogan, urging voters to back a party which would deliver Scottish independence from the United Kingdom. Although the party increased its total vote by 50% compared to 1987, they only held onto the three seats they had won at the previous election. They lost the Glasgow Govan, which their deputy leader Jim Sillars had taken from Labour in a by-election in 1988. Sillars quit active politics after the general election with a parting shot at the Scottish electorate as being "ninety-minute patriots", referring to their supporting the Scotland national football team only during match time.

1992 United Kingdom general election, Polling
Almost every poll leading up to polling day predicted either a hung parliament with Labour the largest party, or a small Labour majority of around 19 to 23. Polls on the last few days before the country voted predicted a very slim Labour majority. Of the 50 opinion polls published during the election campaign period, 38 suggested Labour had a narrow but clear lead. After the polls closed, the BBC and ITV exit polls still predicted that there would be a hung parliament and "that the Conservatives would only just get more seats than Labour".

With opinion polls at the end of the campaign showing Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck, the actual election result was a surprise to many in the media and in polling organisations. The apparent failure of the opinion polls to come close to predicting the actual result led to an inquiry by the Market Research Society, and would eventually result in the creation of the British Polling Council a decade later. Following the election, most opinion polling companies changed their methodology in the belief that a 'Shy Tory factor' affected the polling.

This number was reduced progressively during the course of Major's term in office due to defections of MPs to other parties, by-election defeats, and for a time in 1994–95 the suspension of the Conservative whip for some MPs who voted against the government on its European policy—by 1996, the Conservative majority had been reduced to just 1 seat, and they were in a minority going into 1997 until the 1997 general election.

The Sun's analysis of the election results was headlined "It's The Sun Wot Won It", though in his testimony to the April 2012 Leveson Inquiry, Rupert Murdoch claimed that the "infamous" headline was "both tasteless and wrong". Tony Blair also accepted this theory of Labour's defeat and put considerable effort into securing The Sun's support for New Labour, both as Leader of the Opposition before the 1997 general election and as Prime Minister afterwards.
