In the British general election the following year, Michael Howard promised to work towards having the prohibition removed if the Conservative Party gained a majority of seats in the House of Commons, but the election was won by Blair's Labour Party.

With the exception of the first term, it has been held by the Labour Party, and for seven years was held by Ramsay MacDonald, the Prime Minister in 1924 and from 1929 to 1935.

The election was effectively a repeat of 1997, as the Labour party vindicated the faith placed in it 4 years ago, and thus retained its overwhelming majority.

A major long-term consequence of the Third Reform Act was the rise of Lib-Lab candidates, in the absence of any committed Labour Party.

Labour was determined to destroy the Liberals and become the sole party of the left.

Ramsay MacDonald was forced into a snap election in 1924, and although his government was defeated, he achieved his objective of virtually wiping the Liberals out as many more radical voters now moved to Labour whilst moderate middle-class Liberal voters concerned about socialism moved to the Conservatives.

It was founded by four senior Labour Party ' moderates ', dubbed the ' Gang of Four ': Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Bill Rodgers and Shirley Williams.

There were long-running claims of corruption and administrative decay within Labour at local level ( the North-East of England was to become a cause célèbre ), and concerns that experienced and able Labour MPs could be deselected ( i. e., lose the Labour Party nomination ) by those wanting to put into a safe seat their friends, family or members of their own Labour faction.
