- United_Kingdom_general_election,_2015 abstract "The United Kingdom general election of 2015 on 7 May 2015 elected the 56th Parliament of the United Kingdom. Each of the 650 parliamentary constituencies elected one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons, the dominant house of Parliament. It was the first general election at the end of a fixed term Parliament. Local elections took place in most of England on the same day.Polls and commentators had predicted the outcome would be 'too close to call' and would result in a second hung parliament similar to the 2010 election. Opinion polls were eventually proven to have underestimated the Conservative vote, which bore resemblance to their surprise victory in the 1992 general election. The British Polling Council began an inquiry into the variance between opinion polls and the actual result.Having governed in coalition with the Liberal Democrats since 2010, the Conservative Party won 36.9% of the vote and 330 seats, this time with a working majority of 12. This was despite a small swing from Conservative to Labour. Conservative leader David Cameron subsequently formed the first Conservative majority government since 1992. The Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband, saw a small increase in their vote share to 30.4% but incurred a net loss of seats to return 232 MPs. This was their lowest seat tally since the 1987 election. Senior Labour shadow cabinet members, notably Ed Balls, Douglas Alexander, and Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy, were defeated.The Scottish National Party, enjoying a surge in support since the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, recorded a number of record breaking swings of over 30% from Labour as they won 56 of the 59 Scottish seats to became the third largest party in the Commons. The Liberal Democrats, led by outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, had their worst result since being formed in 1988, holding just eight out of their previous 57 seats with cabinet ministers Vince Cable, Ed Davey, and Danny Alexander losing their seats. The UK Independence Party (UKIP), came third in terms of votes with 12.6% but only won one seat, with party leader Nigel Farage failing to win the seat of South Thanet. The Green Party won their highest ever share of the vote with 3.8% and held Brighton Pavilion with an increased majority. Labour's Miliband (as national leader) and Murphy (as Scottish leader) resigned; as did Clegg and Farage. Farage's resignation was rejected by his party and he remained in post.In Northern Ireland the Ulster Unionist Party returned to the Commons with two MPs after a five-year absence, while Alliance lost its only seat despite an increase in total vote share.".
