Part 1
The quality is not as high as I would have liked, (nor as high as my original recording), but I've decided to upload it anyway since the election was not the most important one in recent times. The figures on the screen are sometimes difficult to read as a result unfortunately; the BBC seemed to use a very small font size in 2001. I'm disappointed because I always attempt to upload election videos with the highest quality sound and picture possible.

The United Kingdom general election of 1979 was held on 3 May 1979 and is regarded as a pivotal point in 20th century British politics. In it, the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher defeated James Callaghan's incumbent Labour government in what would prove to be the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party.
Taken from the re-broadcast on BBC Four a week or so ago.
Nice to hear the original Arthur being used as the theme!

The Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher defeated James Callaghan's incumbent Labour government in what would prove to be the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party.
In the end, the overall swing of 5.2% was the largest since 1945 and gave the Conservatives a workable majority of 43 for the country's first female Prime Minister. The Conservative victory in 1979 also marked a change in government which would continue for 18 years until the Labour victory in 1997.

A survey of the events and personalities in British politics before the 1979 General Election: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-general-election-1979
The 1979 election inaugurated the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, the longest continuous premiership since that of Lord Liverpool (1812-27), and an 18 year period of Conservative government. It occurred after the 'winter of discontent', marked by public sector strikes which destroyed the Labour government's social contract. James Callaghan, defeated Labour Prime Minister, declared before the election that it marked a sea-change in British politics. Was he right?

The United Kingdom general election of 1992 was held on 9 April 1992, and was the fourth consecutive victory for the Conservative Party. This election result was one of the biggest surprises in 20th Century politics, as polling leading up to the day of the election showed Labour under leader Neil Kinnock to be consistently, if narrowly, ahead.
John Major had won the leadership election in November 1990 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. During his term leading up to the 1992 elections he oversaw the British involvement in the Gulf War, introduced legislation to replace the unpopular Community Charge with Council Tax, and signed the Maastricht treaty. The UK had gone into recession around the time of Major's appointment, along with most of the other industrialised nations. John Major announced the date of the election on 11 March shortly after Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont had delivered the Budget. It was one of the most dramatic elections in the UK since the end of the Second World War, after the Conservative Party defeated the initial favourites, the Labour Party.
The BBC's live television broadcast of the election results were presented by David Dimbleby and Peter Snow, with John Cole.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies. The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS, née Roberts (born 13 October 1925) is a British politician and the longest-serving (1979–1990) British prime minister of the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post. A Soviet journalist nicknamed her the "Iron Lady", which later became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As prime minister, she implemented conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975 Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election and became Leader of the Opposition, as well as the first woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became prime minister after winning the 1979 general election.
After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived as Britain's precipitous national decline. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983. Thatcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987, but her Community Charge (popularly referred to as "poll tax") was widely unpopular and her views on the European Community were not shared by others in her Cabinet. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in November 1990, after Michael Heseltine launched a challenge to her leadership.

Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was an English American author and journalist whose career spanned more than four decades. Hitchens, often referred to colloquially as "Hitch", was a columnist and literary critic for New Statesman, The Atlantic, The Nation, The Daily Mirror, The Times Literary Supplement and Vanity Fair. He was an author of twelve books and five collections of essays. As a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits, he was a prominent public intellectual, and his confrontational style of debate made him both a lauded and controversial figure.
Hitchens was known for his admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, as well as for his excoriating critiques of various public figures including Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and Diana, Princess of Wales. Although he supported the Falklands War, his key split from the established political left began in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the Western left to the Rushdie Affair. The September 11 attacks strengthened his internationalist embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he called "fascism with an Islamic face." His numerous editorials in support of the Iraq War caused some to label him a neoconservative, although Hitchens insisted he was not "a conservative of any kind", and his friend Ian McEwan describes him as representing the anti-totalitarian left.

Margaret Thatchers re-election and landslide victory was a personal triumph. She had performed the unusual feat of winning re-election, despite the mass unemployment her battle against inflation had seen. But Thatcher took fewer votes than in 1979. Her landslide was caused by the almost equal split in support between Labour and the SDP-Liberal Alliance. For Labour the 1983 election had been an unmitigated disaster. The only consolation for leader Michael Foot was that Labour had not lost second place to the strong challenge posed by the Alliance. But although the Alliance could talk up the seven million votes it received it had actually won very few seats - leaving its dream of a breakthrough just that, a dream. -

UK general election results for the Parliament, from the 1832 Great Reform Act, which extended the franchise and reformed constituencies, to the 2010 election, which saw no party achieve a majority for the first time since 1974. One note, the number of seats added or lost to the totals for each year is the number achieved relative to the previous election, not relative to the number of seats going into the election. In-government seat bars are first, followed by the opposition, and subsequent parties.

Election 2001 - Part 1
Part 1 The quality is not as high as I would have liked, (nor as high as my original recording), but I've decided to upload it anyway since the election was not the most important one in recent times. The figures on the screen are sometimes difficult to read as a result unfortunately; the BBC seemed to use a very small font size in 2001. I'm disappointed because I always attempt to upload election videos with the highest quality sound and picture possible. -
Decision '79 theme and opening
The United Kingdom general election of 1979 was held on 3 May 1979 and is regarded as a pivotal point in 20th century British politics. In it, the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher defeated James Callaghan's incumbent Labour government in what would prove to be the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party. Taken from the re-broadcast on BBC Four a week or so ago. Nice to hear the original Arthur being used as the theme! -
BBC Election 1979 opening sequence
The United Kingdom general election of 1979 was held on 3 May 1979 and is regarded as a pivotal point in 20th century British politics. The Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher defeated James Callaghan's incumbent Labour government in what would prove to be the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party. In the end, the overall swing of 5.2% was the largest since 1945 and gave the Conservatives a workable majority of 43 for the country's first female Prime Minister. The Conservative victory in 1979 also marked a change in government which would continue for 18 years until the Labour victory in 1997. -
Transfer of Power from James Callaghan to Margaret Thatcher
4 May 1979: BBC coverage of the resignation of James Callaghan and the appointment of Margaret Thatcher. This took place the day after the 1979 general election. As a Parliamentary Democracy and Constitutional Monarchy, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland goes to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen for power to be transferred. -
The General Election of 1979 - Professor Vernon Bogdanor
A survey of the events and personalities in British politics before the 1979 General Election: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-general-election-1979 The 1979 election inaugurated the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, the longest continuous premiership since that of Lord Liverpool (1812-27), and an 18 year period of Conservative government. It occurred after the 'winter of discontent', marked by public sector strikes which destroyed the Labour government's social contract. James Callaghan, defeated Labour Prime Minister, declared before the election that it marked a sea-change in British politics. Was he right? The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-general-el... -

BBC 1992 General Election Coverage - Part 1
The United Kingdom general election of 1992 was held on 9 April 1992, and was the fourth consecutive victory for the Conservative Party. This election result was one of the biggest surprises in 20th Century politics, as polling leading up to the day of the election showed Labour under leader Neil Kinnock to be consistently, if narrowly, ahead. John Major had won the leadership election in November 1990 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. During his term leading up to the 1992 elections he oversaw the British involvement in the Gulf War, introduced legislation to replace the unpopular Community Charge with Council Tax, and signed the Maastricht treaty. The UK had gone into recession around the time of Major's appointment, along with most of the other industrialised nations. Joh... -

The 1945 UK General Election
This excellent film from 2005 studies the issues and the controversies of the British general election in 1945, the year that Churchill was ousted from power and replaced by the socialist Labour government of Clement Attlee.

UK General Election 1983 - Party Leaders on the Campaign Trail
Margaret Thatchers re-election and landslide victory was a personal triumph. She had performed the unusual feat of winning re-election, despite the mass unemployment her battle against inflation had seen. But Thatcher took fewer votes than in 1979. Her landslide was caused by the almost equal split in support between Labour and the SDP-Liberal Alliance. For Labour the 1983 election had been an unmitigated disaster. The only consolation for leader Michael Foot was that Labour had not lost second place to the strong challenge posed by the Alliance. But although the Alliance could talk up the seven million votes it received it had actually won very few seats - leaving its dream of a breakthrough just that, a dream. -
UK General Election Results, 1832 - 2010
UK general election results for the Parliament, from the 1832 Great Reform Act, which extended the franchise and reformed constituencies, to the 2010 election, which saw no party achieve a majority for the first time since 1974. One note, the number of seats added or lost to the totals for each year is the number achieved relative to the previous election, not relative to the number of seats going into the election. In-government seat bars are first, followed by the opposition, and subsequent parties. -

UK: REACTION TO LABOUR VICTORY IN BRITISH GENERAL ELECTION
English/Nat Congratulations have been flooding in for Labour leader Tony Blair following his landslide victory in the British elections. The Labour Party stormed to a landslide victory Friday, ending 18 years of Conservative rule. Meanwhile, one senior British political figure said she would be watching Blair's movements closely. Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher was ousted as leader by the Conservative Party and replaced by John Major. European Commission President Jacques Santer was swift to praise incoming British Prime Minister Tony Blair. As well as stressing Britain's important role in a united Europe, he congratulated the Labour leader for his landslide victory.

General Election 2010 UK
The United Kingdom general election of 2010 is being held today, 6 May,[note 2] to elect one Member of Parliament in each of the 650 constituencies to the House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The election will be more than five years after the previous election. Voting will take place between 7.00 am and 10.00 pm. Local elections will also be held in some areas on that day. The election was called on 6 April, and Parliament was dissolved on 12 April for the ensuing campaign. The governing Labour Party will be looking to secure a fourth consecutive term in office and to restore support lost since 1997.[1] The Conservative Party will seek to gain a dominant position in UK politics after losses in the 1990s, and to replace Labour as the governing party... -
Christopher Hitchens: What Did Margaret Thatcher Do for Britain? Iron Lady & British Politics (1987)
By leading her party to victory in the 1987 general election with a 102 seat majority, riding the Lawson boom against a weak Labour opposition advocating unilateral nuclear disarmament, Margaret Thatcher became the longest continuously serving British prime minister since Lord Liverpool (1812 to 1827), and the first to win three successive elections since Lord Palmerston in 1865. Most national newspapers supported her—with the exception of The Daily Mirror, The Guardian and The Independent—and were rewarded with regular press briefings by her press secretary, Bernard Ingham. She was informally dubbed 'Maggie' by the tabloids, and political protesters were given to chanting the slogan 'Maggie Out!' Despite her third straight victory she remained a polarising figure, her unpopularity on the ... -

I should be uploading a few more from my archives that I haven't had the chance to upload, in the near future :) One thing, it was a bloody disgrace they didn't use Rick Wakemans Arthur for this edition. I hope it comes back in the next election. From wikipedia: The United Kingdom general election of 2010 was held on Thursday 6 May 2010 to elect members to the House of Commons. The election took place in 650 constituencies[note 1] across the United Kingdom under the first-past-the-post system. None of the parties achieved the 326 seats needed for an overall majority. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, won the largest number of votes and seats but still fell twenty seats short. This resulted in a hung parliament where no party was able t... -
BBC Election 2005 exit poll
When Big Ben struck 10 pm on 5 May 2005, the BBC announced the result of their exit poll which showed that Tony Blair would remain as Prime Minister but with a majority in the House of Commons of just 66. Although the result was correct, the exit poll predicted number of seats for each party was not quite right. In reality, Labour won 356 seats, the Conservatives won 198 seats and the Liberal Democrats won 62 seats. -
UK General Election 1951 - Campaigning Begins
Campaigning starts as Attlee announces the election date. The 1951 United Kingdom general election was held eighteen months after the1950 general election, which the Labour Party won, but with a very slim majority of just five seats. Labour called the election on 25 October 1951 hoping to increase their majority. In the event, despite Labour polling almost a quarter of a million votes more than the Conservative Party (and its National Liberal allies) - and more votes than in the 1950 election - it was the Conservatives who went on to form the next government. This was because under the first past the post electoral system, the Labour votes translated into increased majorities for MPs in already safe seats, rather than into gaining new seats. This was one of only three elections wh...

The Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher defeated James Callaghan's incumbent Labour government in what would prove to be the first of four consecutive general election victories for the Conservative Party.
In the end, the overall swing of 5.2% was the largest since 1945 and gave the Conservatives a workable majority of 43 for the country's first female Prime Minister. The Conservative victory in 1979 also marked a change in government which would continue for 18 years until the Labour victory in 1997.

The 1979 election inaugurated the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, the longest continuous premiership since that of Lord Liverpool (1812-27), and an 18 year period of Conservative government. It occurred after the 'winter of discontent', marked by public sector strikes which destroyed the Labour government's social contract. James Callaghan, defeated Labour Prime Minister, declared before the election that it marked a sea-change in British politics. Was he right?

The United Kingdom general election of 1992 was held on 9 April 1992, and was the fourth consecutive victory for the Conservative Party. This election result was one of the biggest surprises in 20th Century politics, as polling leading up to the day of the election showed Labour under leader Neil Kinnock to be consistently, if narrowly, ahead.
John Major had won the leadership election in November 1990 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher. During his term leading up to the 1992 elections he oversaw the British involvement in the Gulf War, introduced legislation to replace the unpopular Community Charge with Council Tax, and signed the Maastricht treaty. The UK had gone into recession around the time of Major's appointment, along with most of the other industrialised nations. John Major announced the date of the election on 11 March shortly after Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont had delivered the Budget. It was one of the most dramatic elections in the UK since the end of the Second World War, after the Conservative Party defeated the initial favourites, the Labour Party.
The BBC's live television broadcast of the election results were presented by David Dimbleby and Peter Snow, with John Cole.

Margaret Thatchers re-election and landslide victory was a personal triumph.
She had performed the unusual feat of winning re-election, despite the mass unemployment her battle against inflation had seen.
But Thatcher took fewer votes than in 1979. Her landslide was caused by the almost equal split in support between Labour and the SDP-Liberal Alliance.
For Labour the 1983 election had been an unmitigated disaster. The only consolation for leader Michael Foot was that Labour had not lost second place to the strong challenge posed by the Alliance.
But although the Alliance could talk up the seven million votes it received it had actually won very few seats - leaving its dream of a breakthrough just that, a dream.

English/Nat
Congratulations have been flooding in for Labour leader Tony Blair following his landslide victory in the British elections.
The Labour Party stormed to a landslide victory Friday, ending 18 years of Conservative rule.
Meanwhile, one senior British political figure said she would be watching Blair's movements closely.
Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher was ousted as leader by the Conservative Party and replaced by John Major.
European Commission President Jacques Santer was swift to praise incoming British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
As well as stressing Britain's important role in a united Europe, he congratulated the Labour leader for his landslide victory.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We congratulate the British Labour leader, Tony Blair, for his outstanding victory. For us of course it is very important and we look forward to working with him very closely. Of course, there are many challenges ahead in Europe, the intergovernmental conference, the enlargement process, economic monetary union also the performance and the strengthening of the single market and I hope that under the presidency of Tony Blair, the British presidency is in the beginning of 1998, we will handle all these problems to bring prosperity and peace and I must say also security in Europe."
SUPER CAPTION: Jacques Santer, E-U Commission President
The Conservative Party has been bitterly divided about the role of the European Union.
During the campaign, more than 200 Conservative candidates, dubbed "Euro-sceptics", promised to oppose British participation in a single European currency, defying Major's wait-and-see policy.
One leading British political figure offering judgement on the outcome of the U-K elections was Britain's Prime Minister between 1979 and 1990, Margaret Thatcher.
Asked whether the issue of Europe had led to the downfall of the Conservative Party, the woman dubbed the Iron Lady said both parties were divided over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Both parties are split over Europe. They're split over the single currency - Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet. What is at stake is our whole future as an independent country. Our parliamentary sovereignty is being diminished. Our legal sovereignty is being overridden.
SUPER CAPTION: Lady Thatcher, Former Prime Minister
She added that she would be watching Blair closely, but refused to comment on John Major's replacement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Q: Lady Thatcher what is your personal view of Tony Blair and the policies he has?
"He's fought an extremely skilful campaign. I don't know whether we know very much about the policies. He's very carefully cloaked the details in soft words and phrases."
Q: Lady Thatcher, do you think your legacy is safe in Mr Blair's hands?
"I shall have something to say if it isn't."
Q: Lady Thatcher have you a view on the successor to Mr Major"
"That's not for me to decide. I've been through that once and I've no wish to go through that again, that's why I went to the House of Lords, so that I could never be a rival.
SUPER CAPTION: Lady Thatcher, Former Prime Minister

wn.com/UK Reaction To Labour Victory In British General Election
English/Nat
Congratulations have been flooding in for Labour leader Tony Blair following his landslide victory in the British elections.
The Labour Party stormed to a landslide victory Friday, ending 18 years of Conservative rule.
Meanwhile, one senior British political figure said she would be watching Blair's movements closely.
Former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher was ousted as leader by the Conservative Party and replaced by John Major.
European Commission President Jacques Santer was swift to praise incoming British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
As well as stressing Britain's important role in a united Europe, he congratulated the Labour leader for his landslide victory.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We congratulate the British Labour leader, Tony Blair, for his outstanding victory. For us of course it is very important and we look forward to working with him very closely. Of course, there are many challenges ahead in Europe, the intergovernmental conference, the enlargement process, economic monetary union also the performance and the strengthening of the single market and I hope that under the presidency of Tony Blair, the British presidency is in the beginning of 1998, we will handle all these problems to bring prosperity and peace and I must say also security in Europe."
SUPER CAPTION: Jacques Santer, E-U Commission President
The Conservative Party has been bitterly divided about the role of the European Union.
During the campaign, more than 200 Conservative candidates, dubbed "Euro-sceptics", promised to oppose British participation in a single European currency, defying Major's wait-and-see policy.
One leading British political figure offering judgement on the outcome of the U-K elections was Britain's Prime Minister between 1979 and 1990, Margaret Thatcher.
Asked whether the issue of Europe had led to the downfall of the Conservative Party, the woman dubbed the Iron Lady said both parties were divided over the issue.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Both parties are split over Europe. They're split over the single currency - Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet. What is at stake is our whole future as an independent country. Our parliamentary sovereignty is being diminished. Our legal sovereignty is being overridden.
SUPER CAPTION: Lady Thatcher, Former Prime Minister
She added that she would be watching Blair closely, but refused to comment on John Major's replacement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Q: Lady Thatcher what is your personal view of Tony Blair and the policies he has?
"He's fought an extremely skilful campaign. I don't know whether we know very much about the policies. He's very carefully cloaked the details in soft words and phrases."
Q: Lady Thatcher, do you think your legacy is safe in Mr Blair's hands?
"I shall have something to say if it isn't."
Q: Lady Thatcher have you a view on the successor to Mr Major"
"That's not for me to decide. I've been through that once and I've no wish to go through that again, that's why I went to the House of Lords, so that I could never be a rival.
SUPER CAPTION: Lady Thatcher, Former Prime Minister

The United Kingdom general election of 2010 is being held today, 6 May,[note 2] to elect one Member of Parliament in each of the 650 constituencies to the House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The election will be more than five years after the previous election. Voting will take place between 7.00 am and 10.00 pm. Local elections will also be held in some areas on that day. The election was called on 6 April, and Parliament was dissolved on 12 April for the ensuing campaign.
The governing Labour Party will be looking to secure a fourth consecutive term in office and to restore support lost since 1997.[1] The Conservative Party will seek to gain a dominant position in UK politics after losses in the 1990s, and to replace Labour as the governing party. The Liberal Democrats hope to make gains from both sides; their most realistic ambition, as the campaign began, was to hold the balance of power in a hung parliament. Since the televised debates between the three leaders, their poll ratings have risen to the point where many are considering the possibility of a Liberal Democrat role in Government.[2] Polls just before election day saw a slight swing from the Liberal Democrats back to Labour and Conservatives, with the majority of final polls falling within one point of Conservatives 36%, Labour 28%, Liberal Democrats 27%.[3][4] However record numbers of undecided voters raised uncertainty about the outcome.
The Scottish National Party, encouraged by their victory in the 2007 Scottish parliament elections, have set themselves a target of 20 MPs and will also be hoping to find themselves in a balance of power position.[5] Equally, Plaid Cymru is seeking gains in Wales. Smaller parties who have had successes at local elections and the 2009 European elections (United Kingdom Independence Party, Green Party, British National Party) will look to extend their representation to seats in the House of Commons. The Democratic Unionist Party will be looking to maintain, if not extend, their number of seats, currently the 4th largest party in the House of Commons
The election is the first to be faced by the Labour leader Gordon Brown as Prime Minister, who became party leader in 2007 after the resignation of Tony Blair. It is also the first election to be faced by the main opposition party leaders, David Cameron of the Conservatives and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats. It is thus the first time since 1979 that none of the three main party leaders has headed a previous general election campaign. For the first time at a British election, the three main party leaders engaged in a series of televised debates.

Christopher Hitchens: What Did Margaret Thatcher Do for Britain? Iron Lady & British Politics (1987)

By leading her party to victory in the 1987 general election with a 102 seat majority, riding the Lawson boom against a weak Labour opposition advocating unilateral nuclear disarmament, Margaret Thatcher became the longest continuously serving British prime minister since Lord Liverpool (1812 to 1827), and the first to win three successive elections since Lord Palmerston in 1865. Most national newspapers supported her—with the exception of The Daily Mirror, The Guardian and The Independent—and were rewarded with regular press briefings by her press secretary, Bernard Ingham. She was informally dubbed 'Maggie' by the tabloids, and political protesters were given to chanting the slogan 'Maggie Out!' Despite her third straight victory she remained a polarising figure, her unpopularity on the left is evident from the lyrics of several contemporary pop-music songs.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Lawson, overreacted to a market fall with his reflationary 1988 budget, stoking inflation and precipitating a slide in the government's fortunes. By the time of Thatcher's resignation in 1990, inflation had again hit 10%, the same level she had found it in 1979.
Overall, the Thatcher government's economic record is disputed. In relative terms, it could be held there was a modest revival of British fortunes. Real gross domestic product had grown by 26.8% over 1979--89 in the United Kingdom as against 24.3% for the EC-12 average.[83] Measured by total factor productivity, labour, and capital, British productivity growth between 1979 and 1993 compared favourably with the OECD average.[11]
However under Thatcherite management the macro-economy was unstable, even by the standards of the Keynesian era of stop-go. The amplitude of fluctuations in gross domestic product and real gross private non-residential fixed capital formation was greater in the United Kingdom than for the OECD.[84]
In the Thatcher years the top 10% of earners received almost 50% of the tax remissions,[82] but there proved to be no simple trade-off between equality and efficiency.[82] The receipts ratio did not fall below the 1979 level until 1992.[82] The expenditure ratio rose again after Thatcher's resignation in 1990, even climbing for a time above the 1979 figure.[85] The cause was the heavy budget charge of the recessions of 1979--81 and 1990--92 and the extra funding required to meet the higher level of unemployment.[82]
Though an early backer of decriminalisation of male homosexuality, Thatcher, at the 1987 Conservative party conference, issued the statement that "Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay". Backbench Conservative MPs and Peers had already begun a backlash against the 'promotion' of homosexuality and, in December 1987, the controversial 'Section 28' was added as an amendment to what became the Local Government Act 1988. This legislation was repealed by Tony Blair's Labour administration between 2000 and 2003.
Welfare reforms in her third term created an adult Employment Training system that included full-time work done for the dole plus a £10 top-up, on the workfare model from the United States.
Thatcher, the former chemist, became publicly concerned with environmental issues in the late 1980s. In 1988, she made a major speech [86] accepting the problems of global warming, ozone depletion and acid rain. In 1990, she opened the Hadley Centre for climate prediction and research.[87] In her book Statecraft (2002), she described her later regret in supporting the concept of human-induced global warming, outlining the negative effects she perceived it had upon the policy-making process. "Whatever international action we agree upon to deal with environmental problems, we must enable our economies to grow and develop, because without growth you cannot generate the wealth required to pay for the protection of the environment."

From wikipedia:
The United Kingdom general election of 2010 was held on Thursday 6 May 2010 to elect members to the House of Commons. The election took place in 650 constituencies[note 1] across the United Kingdom under the first-past-the-post system. None of the parties achieved the 326 seats needed for an overall majority. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, won the largest number of votes and seats but still fell twenty seats short. This resulted in a hung parliament where no party was able to command a majority in the House of Commons. This was only the second general election since World War II to return a hung parliament, the first being the February 1974 election. Unlike in 1974, the potential for a hung parliament had this time been widely considered and predicted and both the country and politicians were better prepared for the constitutional process that would follow such a result.[2] The coalition government that was subsequently formed was the first coalition in British history to eventuate directly from an election outcome.

Campaigning starts as Attlee announces the election date.
The 1951 United Kingdom general election was held eighteen months after the1950 general election, which the Labour Party won, but with a very slim majority of just five seats. Labour called the election on 25 October 1951 hoping to increase their majority.
In the event, despite Labour polling almost a quarter of a million votes more than the Conservative Party (and its National Liberal allies) - and more votes than in the 1950 election - it was the Conservatives who went on to form the next government. This was because under the first past the post electoral system, the Labour votes translated into increased majorities for MPs in already safe seats, rather than into gaining new seats.
This was one of only three elections where this happened, the others being 1929 and February 1974. It was also the last general election in which some candidates were elected unopposed, in this case four Conservatives, although there have been later unopposed by-elections.
The Conservatives, under Winston Churchill, formed the next government with the help of the National Liberals - giving the Government a majority of 16 seats over all other parties.

Travel video about destination London in England.
London is an exciting and pulsating metropolis of the new millennium, a melting pot of both people and culture and a fascinating city of diverse contrasts.
The City Of London contains the Tower, an historic landmark with a remarkable history. A mighty medieval fortress with 13 towers that throughout its 900 years, has served many functions and from the Middle Ages, it was a heavily fortified prison.
After the medieval St. Paul's Cathedral was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1666, Christopher Wren was ordered to re-build it with a dome. During the 36 years of its construction, its design was frequently altered until finally a wonderful masterpiece of church architecture was created.
The Monument is the city's tallest freestanding stone column and a reminder of the Great Fire of London that destroyed 80 percent of the city. In four days, more than 13,000 buildings were destroyed and the Monument was built on the site of the bakery in which the fire began.
Since the reign of Queen Victoria, Buckingham Palace has served as London's royal residence. A garden of mulberry trees once grew on the site of today's palace and the Duke of Buckingham subsequently added a simple brick built residence. Around 60 years later, George II purchased the site for his wife and George IV eventually began to design an extensive palace complex.
The highlight of any holiday in London must be the largest Ferris wheel in the world, the London Eye. Situated on the banks of the Thames, it rises high into the sky, opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
The former centre of the largest empire in the world, London is still a city of superlatives that attracts millions of visitors each year. Exciting both day and night, London is a modern city with age old traditions and a long and colorful history.

Scotland, located in the north of the United Kingdom, is a fascinating and atmospheric land. A land of Celtic myths and legends with green hills, barren highlands, mysterious lakes and mighty castles.In the centre of the capital the impressive Edinburgh Castle crowns the hard basalt cone of an extinct volcano, the historic heart of the nation. The beauty of the dense forests and hills of the Trossachs was made famous by author, Sir Walter Scott, in the nineteenth century. It is the most scenic region in central Scotland and possesses grandiose, wild and romantic scenery. The remote Loch Katrine brings to mind Sir Walter Scott’s poem, The Lady Of The Lake. On the Firth Of Lorne is Kilmartin Glen one of the most important prehistoric regions in Scotland. Here, standing-stone, three metre high monoliths are scattered across meadows with grazing sheep. The Bronze Age megalithic grave mounds and stone circles can be seen from Duchraigaig Cairn. Across the north runs the Great Glen with Loch Linnhe, Lochy and Ness marking its course which passes through some amazing landscapes. In Fort William Train Station, the Jacobite is awaiting its passengers. The huge black monster is an impressive sight. Slowly, the nostalgic train moves off and begins its journey on one of the most beautiful railway routes in the world. The history of Glenfarclas is as colourful as the whisky of the same name. It is the story of the Grant Family and their distillery. ‘Scottish Gold’ must be stored for at least three years until the traditional taste of single malt whisky is produced but it can often be left to mature for between twelve and fifty years. Scotland is like a land from an ancient and historic time whose real treasure is its natural, rugged scenery!

A land of Celtic myths and legends with green hills, barren highlands, mysterious lakes and mighty castles.In the centre of the capital the impressive Edinburgh Castle crowns the hard basalt cone of an extinct volcano, the historic heart of the nation. The beauty of the dense forests and hills of the Trossachs was made famous by author, Sir Walter Scott, in the nineteenth century. It is the most scenic region in central Scotland and possesses grandiose, wild and romantic scenery. The remote Loch Katrine brings to mind Sir Walter Scott’s poem, The Lady Of The Lake. On the Firth Of Lorne is Kilmartin Glen one of the most important prehistoric regions in Scotland. Here, standing-stone, three metre high monoliths are scattered across meadows with grazing sheep. The Bronze Age megalithic grave mounds and stone circles can be seen from Duchraigaig Cairn. Across the north runs the Great Glen with Loch Linnhe, Lochy and Ness marking its course which passes through some amazing landscapes. In Fort William Train Station, the Jacobite is awaiting its passengers. The huge black monster is an impressive sight. Slowly, the nostalgic train moves off and begins its journey on one of the most beautiful railway routes in the world. The history of Glenfarclas is as colourful as the whisky of the same name. It is the story of the Grant Family and their distillery. ‘Scottish Gold’ must be stored for at least three years until the traditional taste of single malt whisky is produced but it can often be left to mature for between twelve and fifty years. Scotland is like a land from an ancient and historic time whose real treasure is its natural, rugged scenery!

Take a tour of Welsh Assembly Building in United Kingdom -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Over the past two decades, Cardiff Bay has blossomed under urban regeneration.
The modernist architecture of the new National Assembly building is self proclaimed to reflect transparency.
As you enter the main reception area, focus is drawn immediately to the billowing cedar ceiling and funnel.
The funnel is both an innovative architectural and environmentally conscious feature that lowers the buildings electricity costs and provides advanced ventilation.
In the Oriel, you can chat with friends in the café, watch Assembly Members debating in the Siambr below, or enjoy the wrap around view of the bay.
If its Victorian neighbors signify the past, the National Assembly building certainly represents the future of Wales.

Shepherd Entertainment gives you the history of London's museums such as Madam Tussauds and the British Museum.
Visit London's Museums in the United Kingdom
Madam Tussaud was museum is another typically London site. The French woman lived in the quarter of Louise XVI and prepared was figures of all the famous people beheaded in the French revolution. The figures were first exhibited in London in 1835; the collection is constantly expanding with life size wax statues and politicians, artists and celebrities who often donate their own clothes for their lifeless dabbles to dawn. In spite of its name the British museum established in 1753 exhibits much more than merely British objects. This was the world's first truly public national museum. Amazingly enough there's still no admission charge.
The museum was originally opened to imagine of new aristocrat which quickly probe too small. Built in 1823 the Tympanic Columns Palace is under constant expansion. For the new millennium the court guard was marbled on top to the glass ceiling. In the center of the court under the dome is a circular library. Alongside the classics one can also find such popular works as the first edition of Scarlet Pimpernel, the stories of Beatrix Potter or the manuscripts of Conan Doyle.
Among the numerous exceptional treasures on exhibit of the British museum perhaps the ancient Egyptian collection is the most valuable. From the mummified sacred cat the beauty of the great sphinx of Giza to the Tabrizian granite statue of Remises II there's wealth of objects to see.
The most famous is the rosette stone which dates back to 196 BC and was founded in Nile Valley in 1799. The text of a degree was inscribed done it in hieroglyphic symbols demotic writing and Ingrid translation. By comparing these three variations of the encryption the French archeologist Champollion was finally able to decide for the secret of the h Hieroglyphics. Understanding the writing on the Rosette stone is considered a milestone in the Egyptology There's also a significant ancient Greek collection with for example El Cajon from the Parthenon.
The shallon golden laid ram in the bush is from the ancient Sumerian City of Ur. The Portland vase is from an ancient Roman grave dating back to the first century. The Amitābha Buddha comes from China. Also worth mentioning is the Aztec mosaic mass depicting gates of Goatel and Milden Hall treasure which is perhaps the most valuable of any of the ancient artifacts found in England.

London Travel Guide http://bit.ly/16S8LQh
Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of the Shopping Areas of London, such as Oxford Street in vicinity which is one
of the busiest shopping districts in the world and Savile Row Street where tailors visibly prepare the world's most elegant suits.
Visit the Shopping Areas of London in the United Kingdom
Oxford Street in vicinity is one of the busiest shopping districts in the world. The semicircular section of Regent Street between Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus is called the Quadrant. Numerous large department stores and famous shops buy in the street. For instance there's a world's largest toy store Hamley's but also worth mentioning are Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, and there's Selfridges. One of the largest British Departments Stores second only to Harrods. Just a few steps from here we find ourselves on Savile Row where tailors visibly prepare the world's most elegant suits.
The easiest way to get around the 1625 kilometers of London is the underground or two best as it is popular be termed. The 11 lines are denoted by different colors with the total of 271 stops you can get just about anywhere in no time. The most common meeting place in London is the Statue of Eros in Piccadilly Square. The statue and fountains were designed by Alfred Gilbert in honor of the great humanitarian Lord Chasper. The street nearby also bears his name.
The neon advertisements which have been illuminating the Square since 1910 after the vibrancy of Piccadilly. The sub ground level Criterion Theatre was originally the music gallery of the extravagant restaurant bearing the same name. The value of the richly gilded ornamentation is said to amount to more than one million pounds. Opposite we see the famous 19th century Concert Hall, the London Pavilion which has been enveloped by Trocadéro Building. Behind the original façade lies an ultra modern shopping center complete with eateries and places of entertainment.
Trafalgar Square is named after the famous sea battle. Atop the 44 meter columns stands the statue of Admiral Nelson who prevented Napoleon's fleet from coming ashore in England. The statues of many military Commanders on Trafalgar Square seem insignificant compared to the four giant lion statues. The lions however, attained and peacefully tolerate children playing on them as well as the snapshots of tourists.
The Square is also the geographic center of London and serves as the zero kilometer point from which distances from the city are measured. Just as on Saint Mark Square in Venice here too people feed the urban pigeons. The spray from the fountains is especially refreshing in the summer heat but the place is just as full of atmosphere under a blanket of snow in the winter months when Christmas and New Year celebrations are held here.
Daniel Defoe the author of Robinson Crusoe was once set in a pillar over here for a polemic Essay he wrote on Religion. The National Gallery occupies the entire Northern side of the Square, since the mid 19th century the impressive building with it's dome in Corinthian columns has given home to one of the largest fine arts collections in the world.

The British general elections of 1910
The British general elections of 1910 The United Kingdom general election of January 1910 was held from 15 January to 10 February 1910. The government called the election in the midst of a constitutional crisis caused by the rejection of the People's Budget by the House of Lords, in order to get a mandate to pass the budget. The election produced a hung parliament, with the Conservative Party led by Arthur Balfour and their Liberal Unionist allies receiving the largest number of votes, but the Liberals led by H. H. Asquith winning the largest number of seats, returning two more MPs than the Conservatives. Asquith formed a government with the support of the Irish Parliamentary Party, led by John Redmond.

UK Election Night February 1974 - Hung Parliament
The election night was covered live on the BBC 24 February 1974, and presented by Alastair Burnet, David Butler, Robert McKenzie and Robin Day. The United Kingdom's general election of February 1974 was held on the 28th of that month. It was the first of two United Kingdom general elections held that year, and the first election since the Second World War not to produce an overall majority in the House of Commons for the winning party. Instead there was a hung parliament, even though many people had expected a Conservative victory for Edward Heath. Labour won the most seats (301, which was 17 seats short of an overall majority) with the Conservatives on 297 seats.

Christopher Hitchens on the Future of British Politics, Labour and Conservative Parties (2007)
The Labour Party won the second largest number of seats in the House of Commons at the 2010 general election, with 258 MPs. The history of the Labour party goes back to 1900 when a Labour Representation Committee was established which changed its name to "The Labour Party" in 1906. After the First World War, this led to the demise of the Liberal Party as the main reformist force in British politics. The existence of the Labour Party on the left of British politics led to a slow waning of energy from the Liberal Party, which has consequently assumed third place in national politics. After performing poorly in the elections of 1922, 1923 and 1924, the Liberal Party was superseded by the Labour Party as the party of the left. Following two brief spells in minority governments in 1924 and ... -

The election night was covered live on the BBC 24 February 1974, and presented by Alastair Burnet, David Butler, Robert McKenzie and Robin Day.
The United Kingdom's general election of February 1974 was held on the 28th of that month. It was the first of two United Kingdom general elections held that year, and the first election since the Second World War not to produce an overall majority in the House of Commons for the winning party. Instead there was a hung parliament, even though many people had expected a Conservative victory for Edward Heath. Labour won the most seats (301, which was 17 seats short of an overall majority) with the Conservatives on 297 seats.
On 10 February the National Union of Mineworkers, as expected, went on strike; however, it was more of a low-key affair than the high-profile clashes of 1972, with no violence and only six men on each picket line. Jim Prior later wrote that the miners had been "as quiet and well-behaved as mice". The three-day week continued throughout the election; however, Heath did allow the late-night television curfew to be lifted to allow more coverage of the campaign. The low profile of the miners' strike allowed worries over inflation to dominate the election. On 15 February it was announced that the Retail Price Index showed a 20% increase in prices over the previous year.
On 21 February the Pay Board released a report on miners' pay, which unexpectedly revealed that they were paid less in comparison with other manufacturing workers, contrary to the claims of the National Coal Board. This came as a severe blow to the Conservative position. Four days later there was further bad news for Heath and his party, with the latest trade figures showing that the current account deficit for the previous month had been £383 million — the worst in recorded history.
Heath addressed the country on television on the evening of 7 February, and asked:
Do you want a strong Government which has clear authority for the future to take decisions which will be needed? Do you want Parliament and the elected Government to continue to fight strenuously against inflation? Or do you want them to abandon the struggle against rising prices under pressure from one particularly powerful group of workers ...
This time of strife has got to stop. Only you can stop it. It’s time for you to speak — with your vote. It’s time for your voice to be heard — the voice of the moderate and reasonable people of Britain: the voice of the majority. It’s time for you to say to the extremists, the militants, and the plain and simply misguided: we’ve had enough. There’s a lot to be done. For heaven’s sake, let’s get on with it.
The Conservative campaign was, thus, encapsulated by the now famous phrase ‘Who governs Britain?’ .... the British people said NOT you !!
It was the first general election in the United Kingdom to be held during an Economic Crisis since the 1931 election, which had been held in the depths of the Great Depression.
The result was the first 'hung parliament' since 1929

The Labour Party won the second largest number of seats in the House of Commons at the 2010 general election, with 258 MPs.
The history of the Labour party goes back to 1900 when a Labour Representation Committee was established which changed its name to "The Labour Party" in 1906. After the First World War, this led to the demise of the Liberal Party as the main reformist force in British politics. The existence of the Labour Party on the left of British politics led to a slow waning of energy from the Liberal Party, which has consequently assumed third place in national politics. After performing poorly in the elections of 1922, 1923 and 1924, the Liberal Party was superseded by the Labour Party as the party of the left.
Following two brief spells in minority governments in 1924 and 1929--1931, the Labour Party had its first true victory after World War II in the 1945 "khaki election". Throughout the rest of the twentieth century, Labour governments alternated with Conservative governments. The Labour Party suffered the "wilderness years" of 1951-1964 (three straight General Election defeats) and 1979-1997 (four straight General Election defeats).
During this second period, Margaret Thatcher, who became leader of the Conservative party in 1975, made a fundamental change to Conservative policies, turning the Conservative Party into an economic neoliberal party. In the General Election of 1979 she defeated James Callaghan's troubled Labour government after the winter of discontent.
For most of the 1980s and the 1990s, Conservative governments under Thatcher and her successor John Major pursued policies of privatization, anti-trade-unionism, and, for a time, monetarism, now known collectively as Thatcherism.
The Labour Party elected left-winger Michael Foot as their leader after their 1979 election defeat, and he responded to dissatisfaction with the Labour Party by pursuing a number of radical policies developed by its grass-roots members. In 1981 several right-wing Labour MPs formed a breakaway group called the Social Democratic Party (SDP), a move which split Labour and is widely believed to have made Labour unelectable for a decade. The SDP formed an alliance with the Liberal Party which contested the 1983 and 1987 general elections as a centrist alternative to Labour and the Conservatives. After some initial success, the SDP did not prosper (partly due to its unfavourable distribution of votes in the FPTP electoral system), and was accused by some of splitting the anti-Conservative vote.
The SDP eventually merged with the Liberal Party to form the Liberal Democrats in 1988. Support for the new party has increased since then, and the Liberal Democrats (often referred to as LibDems) in 1997 and 2001 gained an increased number of seats in the House of Commons.
The Labour Party was badly defeated in the Conservative landslide of the 1983 general election, and Michael Foot was replaced shortly thereafter by Neil Kinnock as leader. Kinnock expelled the far left Militant tendency group (now called the Socialist Party of England and Wales) and moderated many of the party's policies. Yet he was in turn replaced by John Smith after Labour defeats in the 1987 and 1992 general elections.
Tony Blair became leader of the Labour party after John Smith's sudden death from a heart attack in 1994. He continued to move the Labour Party towards the 'centre' by loosening links with the unions and embracing many of Margaret Thatcher's liberal economic policies. This, coupled with the professionalising of the party machine's approach to the media, helped Labour win a historic landslide in the 1997 General Election, after 18 years of Conservative government. Some observers say the Labour Party had by then morphed from a democratic socialist party to a social democratic party, a process which delivered three general election victories but alienated some of its core base - leading to the formation of the Socialist Labour Party (UK).
