2015 General Election

The 2015 General Election in the UK was held on May 7, where voters elected Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, secured a surprise majority, winning 331 seats out of 650, while the Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband, won 232 seats. This election was notable for the rise of smaller parties, particularly the Scottish National Party (SNP), which won 56 seats in Scotland. The vote reflected public opinions on issues like the economy, healthcare, and immigration, influencing UK policies for the following years.
