The 2015 General Election in the United Kingdom was held on May 7, 2015. It was a significant event where voters elected Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons. The election was primarily contested between the Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, and the Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband. The outcome resulted in a surprising victory for the Conservative Party, which won 331 seats, allowing them to form a majority government. This election was notable for the rise of smaller parties, such as the Scottish National Party (SNP), which gained a substantial number of seats in Scotland.
