Britain’s opposition Labor Party pulled well ahead of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Conservatives in opinion polls published in London. Newspaper surveys showed Labor, often divided and demoralized during a decade in opposition, between 5 and 12 percentage points ahead of the Conservatives. Labor leader Neil Kinnock hopes to rally his party for a general election due by mid-1992 with an address Tuesday at the party’s annual conference in Brighton. A poll by the Mail newspaper gave Labor 46% support to 34% for the Conservatives. A Sunday Times poll showed Labor with 43% support, 5 percentage points ahead of the Conservatives.
