Election '83 - Party Leaders Head to the Polls (1983) 

On 9 June 1983, ITN followed the UK’s party leaders as they voted in their local polling stations. Michael Brunson followed Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as she went out to vote in her constituency of Finchley. David Rose, meanwhile, kept up with Labour leader Michael Foot; his wife, Jill Craigie; and their dog, Dizzie, as Foot banded about the Welsh village of Tredegar. David Taylor spent time with Roy Jenkins, founding leader of the Social Democratic Party, in his Glasgow constituency, while Alastair Stewart spoke to Liberal leader David Steel in Ettrickbridge in the Scottish Borders. Michael Macmillan reported on polling day in the Northern Irish capital of Belfast, where voters were heading to the polls despite efforts by the Provisional IRA to scare voters from polling stations with bomb attacks.
