Analysis of various post-mortem reports (copies included) on the 1987 General Election campaign produced by Shaun Woodward, Director of Communications for Party Chairman Chris Patten prior to the 1992 General Election campaign [Also includes copies of post-mortem reports on the 1979 and 1983 General Election campaigns produced by the Party Chairmen], Jan 1992
[Note: unlike 1979 and 1983, where various departmental reports were collated by the Party Chairman into a single report, Norman Tebbit, Party Chairman during the 1987 General Election campaign, stepped down from this post immediately following the election and so did not produce a similar report on the 1987 campaign]
