Jim Callaghan, Labour Prime Minister, 1979. Minor parties sided with the Conservatives to bring about a Vote of No Confidence in the Labour government and so bring about an early general election. Callaghan likened the minor parties to turkeys voting for an early Christmas.
...and he was right. The Liberals lost support in the 1979 Election.
This was at the height of the Thorpe scandal so no wonder the Liberals lost support.
