The February 1974 General Election in the United Kingdom was held on February 28, 1974. It was called to resolve a hung parliament from the previous election in 1970. The election was marked by issues such as the economy, inflation, and industrial unrest, which were significant concerns for voters at the time. The Labour Party, led by Harold Wilson, won the election but did not secure an outright majority, gaining 301 seats in the House of Commons. The Conservative Party, led by Edward Heath, won 297 seats. This election led to a minority government and set the stage for another election later that year.
