Thatcher re-elected for a third successive term
Time: Thursday Jun 11, 1987
Place: London, England
Details: By 1987, unemployment was falling, the economy was stable and strong and inflation was low. Opinion polls showed a comfortable Conservative lead, and local council election results had also been successful, prompting Thatcher to call a general election for 11 June that year, despite the deadline for an election still being 12 months away. The election saw Thatcher re-elected for a third successive term.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
