ELECTION RESULTS The right to vote was severely restricted at first, and that universal suffrage on an equal basis for men and women over the age of 21 was not established until 1929. Until 1918, general elections did not occur on a single day and polling was spread over several weeks. The date given in the table before 1918 is the date Parliament assembled after the election which could be in the year after the general election. ''Note'': A negative majority means that there was a Hung Parliament (or minority parliament) following that election. For example, in the 1929 election, Labour was 42 seats short of forming a majority, and so its majority is listed as −42. SEE ALSO |
