Sheffield Rally
The Sheffield Rally was a political event held by the Labour Party on Wednesday 1 April 1992, a week ahead of the 1992 UK general election on 9 April.
==The event==
An event in preparation for eighteen months,〔("Key Issues in the 1992 Campaign" ), BBC News, Politics '97〕 the rally was held at the Sheffield Arena, an indoor sports venue in Sheffield, England. It was attended by 10,000 Labour Party members, including the entire shadow cabinet, and is reported to have cost some £100,000 to stage.〔 It was the idea of strategist Philip Gould,〔(Obituary: "Lord Gould of Brookwood" ), telegraph.co.uk, 7 November 2011〕 who was involved in the subsequent successful election campaign of Bill Clinton later that year.〔 The party leader, Neil Kinnock, was flown into the city by helicopter.〔Stephanie Barnard ("Kinnock came and didn't conquer" ), BBC News Sheffield & South Yorkshire, 27 July 2009〕
The rally was modelled partly on American presidential campaign conventions, with sound and light performances on the stage and celebrity endorsements played on a large video screen. At one point in the proceedings, Kinnock and the shadow cabinet paraded to the stage from the back of the venue, passing through an increasingly enthusiastic audience, with the shadow cabinet being introduced with titles such as "The next Home Secretary" and "The next Prime Minister"; Labour had been in opposition for 13 years and had already lost three consecutive general elections to the Conservatives.
This culminated in an emotional and animated Kinnock taking the podium and repeatedly shouting "We're all right!", which has often been re-broadcast since as an example of overconfident campaigning. Kinnock followed this by proclaiming "We'd better get some talking done here, serious talking."〔
