Title: United Kingdom general election, 1950
Passage: The 1950 United Kingdom general election was the first ever general election to be held after a full term of a Labour government.  The election was held on Thursday 23 February 1950.  Despite polling over 1,500,000 votes more than the Conservatives, and receiving more votes than they had during the 1945 general election, Labour obtained a slim majority of just five seats — a stark contrast to 1945, when they had achieved a comfortable 146-seat majority.  There was a national swing towards the Conservatives, whose performance in terms of popular vote was dramatically better than in 1945, which helps to explain Labour's slim majority.  Labour called another general election in 1951.
