In 1987 Britain went had an election and Thatcher got a majority again, but the true winner in a sense was probably Labour who had managed to avoid being outmanoeuvred by the Alliance as the main opposition and was able to showcase it could adapt to the changing times.
Now of course, Labour could have done better, despite a good campaign for the most part, a series of gaffes, mistakes and problems outside of the campaign meant that Labour in the end only gained 20 seats. Now this isn't a discussion about Labour winning, but it's about how Labour could do better and gain 40/50 seats on there 209 instead of the 20.
POD's can be as far back as 1984 in my opinion.
Also it would be interesting to consider what effects this would have on Labour policy and ideas in the next few years following?
