1974 February United Kingdom General Election
The February 1974 United Kingdom General Election was held on February 28, 1974. It was called due to a hung parliament from the previous election in 1970, where no party had a clear majority. The main political parties involved were the Labour Party, led by Harold Wilson, and the Conservative Party, led by Edward Heath.
In this election, the Labour Party won 301 seats, while the Conservative Party secured 297 seats. Despite Labour's victory, they did not achieve an outright majority, leading to a second election later that year in October, which would further shape the political landscape of the UK.
