jan 29, 1992 - 9 April 1992: Tories win UK general election

Description:

It's Neil Kinnock versus John Major in this first general election since Margaret Thatcher.

Lowe Bell has Stephen Sherbourne on the Tories account, but for the first time in years, Bell takes a back seat.

One thing Bell does take credit for is helping in the rise of John Taylor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor,_Baron_Taylor_of_Warwick), brought on "to show the party was no longer made up of old white males. Lowe Bell "hired" Taylor to provide him with a source of income during his campaigning.
