The Liberals won a large majority in the 1880 election.

This would prove the last time the Liberals won a majority in their own right.

In the 1918 general election Lloyd George, " the Man Who Won the War ", led his coalition into another khaki election, and won a sweeping victory over the Asquithian Liberals and the newly emerging Labour Party.

At the 1922 and 1923 elections the Liberals won barely a third of the vote and only a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons, as many radical voters abandoned the divided Liberals and went over to Labour.

The Liberals were reduced to a mere forty seats in Parliament, only seven of which had been won against candidates from both parties and none of these formed a coherent area of Liberal survival.

There, the Liberals won a seat in the London suburbs for the first time since 1935.

In the October 1974 general election the Liberals slipped back slightly and the Labour government won a wafer-thin majority.

When the Labour government fell in 1979, the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher won a victory which served to push the Liberals back into the margins.

In the 2005 election it won 18 out of 179 seats in the Folketing and became a junior partner in coalition with the Liberals.

The Liberals won 190 seats — the most in Canadian history at the time, and still a record for the party.

In the 1957 election, the Liberals won 200, 000 more votes nationwide than the Progressive Conservatives ( 40. 75 % Liberals to 38. 81 % PC ).

In the 2010 Parliamentary election, the Communists won 42 seats, while the Liberal-Democrats won 32, the Democratic Party won 15, and the Liberals won 12.

The Liberals won a majority in their own right in both elections — something not even Holt or Robert Menzies had been able to achieve.

Although the Liberals had successfully led Paraguay's occupation of nearly all the disputed territory and had won the war when the last truce went into effect, they were finished politically.

An election was called for 13 December, which the Liberal Party won in its own right ( although the Liberals governed in a coalition with the Country Party ).

The polarization did take place and while the Liberals remained active under Lloyd George, they won few seats and were a minor factor until they joined a coalition with the Conservatives in 2010.

King's Liberals originally had a bare majority position, however, since they had won 118 out of 235 seats, exactly the minimum for a majority.

In 1880, the Liberals won again and the Liberal leaders, Lord Hartington ( leader in the House of Commons ) and Lord Granville, retired in Gladstone's favour.

On that occasion the party won 48. 5 % of the vote, but, despite its absolute majority in the Italian Parliament, De Gasperi continued to govern at the head of a centrist coalition that included the Italian Workers ' Socialist Party ( PSLI-a 1947 break-away from the PSI ), the Liberals and the Republicans.

The Tories were decimated in the October 1935 general election, winning only 40 seats to 173 for Mackenzie King's Liberals.

Following the 1921 federal election, William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberals came to power in Ottawa.

The Liberals were able to form a stable minority government following the 1926 election with the support of the 7 elected Liberal-Progressive MPs and Forke entered the Mackenzie King cabinet as Minister of Immigration and Colonization.

In contrast, Creighton saw William Lyon Mackenzie King as a weak and indecisive figure who was more concerned with safeguarding the electoral fortunes of the Liberals then winning the war, and who kept Canadian troops out of combat as long as possible to avoid making difficult decisions on conscription.

When the Liberals won the subsequent 1874 federal election, Blake joined the cabinet of Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie and served as Minister of Justice and President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada.

The Liberals were defeated in the 1878 election, and Blake succeeded Mackenzie as party leader in 1880.

Bennett's Conservatives win a majority, defeating Mackenzie King's Liberals

In July, Minister of National Defence Brooke Claxton warned Mackenzie King that the issue of the Prime Minister's age and the uncertainty of the succession was causing political difficulties for the Liberals.

The Liberals left office on 21 June 1957, with Howe the only remaining minister of those sworn in with Mackenzie King in 1935.

At the time, only one other governing party had lost more seats in an election ; Progressive Conservative, Arthur Meighen, was defeated by Mackenzie King's Liberals in the 1921 election and lost 104 seats in the process.

The attempt to turn the Conservatives into a hegemonic party by merging with Liberal-Unionists failed as most Liberals either joined the new Progressive Party of Canada or rejoined the Liberals under its new leader William Lyon Mackenzie King.

The Conservatives ' conversion to the concept of a welfare state came too late, and the Tories were routed in the October 1935 election, winning only 40 seats to 173 for Mackenzie King's Liberals.

The two forces joined together to form an 11 member official opposition under Daniel G. Mackenzie, but the group was undermined by the Liberals ( who tarnished the image of the opposition MLAs by offering them payments ) and the United Farmers / Labour grouping was wiped out in 1925.

Close to William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberals, he did not get along with other Labour and Independent Labour MPs and refused to join the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation when it was founded in 1932.

In the 1921 general election, most of the Liberal-Unionist MPs did not join this party, and ran as Liberals under the leadership of its new leader, William Lyon Mackenzie King.

When the Liberals came to power in the 1874 election, the new Prime Minister of Canada, Alexander Mackenzie, nominated Anglin as Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons.

Mackenzie King's Liberals alone did not have a majority of seats in the House of Commons after the 1926 election, but were able to form a minority government ( that was for all intents and purposes a majority government ) with the support of the Liberal-Progressives in the house.
