 Wikinfo | Independent Labour Party
The early years of the ILP were characterised by a number of amalgamations with small socialist and leftist groups, and in the 1895 General Election they contested 28 seats.
At the 1922 general election several ILP members became MPs (including future ILP leader Jimmy Maxton) and the party grew in stature.
The ILP continued to contest Parliamentary elections with mixed results, but they ceased to be as prominent after the death of Maxton in 1946 (they managed to hold onto Maxton's Glasgow seat in a close by-election though).

First, under FPTP, the UK is divided into a number of constituencies (651 in 1992; this is set to rise to 659 after boundary revisions), each electing one MP.
In the 1992 British general election as a whole, 40 per cent of MPs were elected without having an overall majority of the votes in their constituency.
