Is there a main political party leader (apart from Nige Farage) from the past 30 years, that didn't want to stay in the EU?

Cameron very vocal to stay in.
Blair and Major came crawling out the wood-work, desperate to stay in.

Milliband, Kinnock, Hague, Brown, Corbyn all desperate to remain. The SNP leaders, the Green party leaders.

The only one I can think of who wanted out, who was a party leader, is Iain Duncan Smith.

I wonder why?

Do you think they might have had something to lose personally? or where they fighting for the good of the country? If political history tells us anything, then I'd guess the former.
