Forgotten election campaign posters nu 1 .......... 1979

Now the poster has faded with age.

Once, forty five years ago it sat in our window, moved after the election to a wall in the bathroom and finally got put away, only to be rediscovered today.

The message referred to the industrial conflicts which had led to the three day week during the previous Conservative Government under Mr Heath.

The result of the 1979 election was a victory for the Conservatives.

The history of that election, the subsequent three Tory victories and the final election of a Labour Government will be for another time.
