1929 election

1931 election

1935 election

The UK general election on Tuesday 27 October 1931 was the last in the United Kingdom not held on a Thursday. It gave the Conservatives, led by Stanley Baldwin a huge majority, although the prime minister of the resulting National Government was still Ramsay MacDonald.

The Liberals lacked the funds to contest their usual number of seats, but won almost as many as Labour, who nonetheless polled 38% of the votes cast.
