However,its majority fell to 66 seats;the majority it won four years earlier had been of 167 seats.
The 2010 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday 6 May 2010,to elect Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. The election took place in 650 constituencies across the United Kingdom under the first-past-the-post system. The election resulted in a large swing to the opposition Conservative Party led by David Cameron similar to that seen in 1979,the last time a Conservative opposition had ousted a Labour government. The governing Labour Party led by the prime minister Gordon Brown lost the 66-seat majority it had previously enjoyed,but no party achieved the 326 seats needed for a majority. The Conservatives won the most votes and seats,but still fell 20 seats short. This resulted in a hung parliament where no party was able to command a majority in the House of Commons. This was only the second general election since the Second World War to return a hung parliament,the first being the February 1974 election. This election marked the start of Conservative government for the next 14 years.
In the United Kingdom,general elections occur at least every five years. About 650 constituencies return a member of Parliament. Prior to 1945,electoral competition in the United Kingdom exhibited features which make meaningful comparisons with modern results difficult. Hence,unless otherwise stated,records are based on results since the 1945 general election,and earlier exceptional results are listed separately.
