Who did Bercow unsuccessfully run against in the 1987 and 1992 general elections?
Tony Blair
Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Beckett
He never ran against a specific person, only for a seat.
Answer
The answer to the question is that Bercow never ran against a specific person, only for a seat. This is because in the UK general elections, candidates are elected to represent a particular constituency, rather than running against a specific person. In the 1987 and 1992 general elections, Bercow stood for the Conservative Party in the Buckingham constituency, but was unsuccessful both times.
