1933 general election
The 1933 general election in the UK was held to choose Members of Parliament. During this period, the Labour government, led by Ramsay MacDonald, faced economic difficulties amid the Great Depression. The election resulted in a significant victory for the National Government, a coalition mainly formed by the Conservative Party, along with some Liberals and National Labour members. Labour's vote share declined, and the opposition parties gained seats, but the coalition's win allowed it to implement policies to tackle economic issues. The election marked a shift toward conservatism and the beginning of a period of political stability despite ongoing economic challenges.
