Description | Edward Heath is presented as a circus act as he stands on a National Unity podium and sticks his head into a lions head, which has been replaced with a ballot box. A clown [Harold Wilson] jumps up and down in the background whilst Jeremy Thorpe swings from trapeze above holding a "Wanted! Someone to catch" sign.
Context: 1974 UK general election. Heath (Conservative), Wilson (Labour) and Thorpe (Liberal) were the leaders of the three main political parties standing for election that year. |
