1928 General Election

The 1928 General Election in the United Kingdom was significant as it followed the Representation of the People Act 1928, which granted women equal voting rights with men, allowing millions more to participate in the democratic process. The Labour Party, led by Ramsay MacDonald, aimed to build on its previous successes, while the Conservative Party, under Stanley Baldwin, sought to regain dominance. Ultimately, the election resulted in a hung parliament, reflecting a diverse electorate and setting the stage for shifting political dynamics in Britain, including increasing competitiveness between political parties.
