"It's The Sun Wot Won It" is a "notorious" headline that appeared on the front-page of ''The Sun'' on Saturday 11 April 1992. It is regularly cited in debates on the influence of the press over politicians and election results〔 and has since become a political catch phrase in the United Kingdom. ==Origin== The headline referred to ''The Sun's'' contribution to the unexpected Conservative victory in the 1992 general election itself a paraphrase of a slogan used in the 1975 Australian federal election. What influence the newspaper had on voters in the narrow Conservative victory is unclear, but in the leading up to polling day, the newspaper led a campaign against the Labour Party leader, Neil Kinnock, which culminated in the election day headline, "If Kinnock wins today will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights." This was to deter voters from electing Labour, as opinion polls during the three years leading up to the election had mostly predicted that it would end in a hung parliament or a narrow Labour majority. ''The Sun'' had encouraged its readers to back the Conservative Party at the 1979 general election.〔Peter Chippindale and Chris Horrie ''Stick It Up Your Punter'', London: Pocket Books, 1999 (), p.73〕 Even some Tory MPs acknowledged that ''The Sun'' contributed to their election triumph. Kinnock himself blamed ''The Sun'' for his failure to win the election, though he also admitted that he had been half-expecting to lose the election even before the article was published.
