Which Labour Party Leader was defeated by the Conservative Party at the 1987 and 1992 UK General Elections?

Neil Gordon Kinnock, Baron Kinnock, PC (born 28 March 1942) is a British Labour Party politician. He served as a Member of Parliament from 1970 until 1995, first for Bedwellty and then for Islwyn. He was the Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1983 until 1992.

Kinnock was leader of the Labour Party during both the 1987 and 1992 UK General Elections. He lost the first election to Margaret Thatcher the leader of the Conservative Party. He lost the second UK General Election to John Major who was then the leader of the Conservatory Party.

Kinnock announced his resignation as Labour Party leader on 13 April 1992, ending nearly a decade in the role. John Smith, previously Shadow Chancellor, was elected on 18 July as his successor.

Kinnock himself later claimed to have half-expected his defeat at the 1992 general election and proceeded to turn himself into a media personality, even hosting a chat show on BBC Wales and twice appearing on the topical panel show "Have I Got News for You" within a year of the defeat. Many years later, he returned to appear as a guest host of the programme.
