The UK general election, 1997 was held on 1 May 1997. The Labour Party won the general election in a landslide victory with 419 seats, the most seats the party has ever held. The Conservatives ended up with 165 seats, the fewest seats they have held since the 1906 General Election, and with no MPs for seats in Scotland and Wales. It was the beginning of the longest spell in opposition for the Conservative Party since the 19th century and the longest spell in government ever for the Labour Party.

    there may as well be a tory majority as the lib dem's policies are being bulldozed out the way.

  • @19189073

    BULLSHIT. They are still an independant party who happen to be engaged in adult politics. Nick Clegg took the most pragmatic decision he could have among difficult decisions he had. Would you prefer a Tory majority?

  • lets hope by 2014/2015 it bring a labour landside just like 1997

  • LIB DEMS 2010

  • I hear the BBC have dropped the Arthur theme for this election. Pity after 30 years, its just as part of history as the election themselves!
