I'm afraid you've just got to accept that it was your good old salt of the Earth working classes who supported Maggie by the millions.
The number of Tory grandees didn't increase. It was the hoards of traditional Labour supporters who bought into the dream of owning their own house, having shares, which ironically they already owned because they were nationalised industries, and wanted to 'better' their own lives.

When we got the right candidate, we won back the seat in 1992
