		The UK General Election, held in June 2001, saw Labour returned to power at Westminster with a majority of 165 after a lacklustre election campaign fought under the discredited first-past-the-post system, in which the result was widely perceived as a foregone conclusion.

		David Butler was blaming Enoch Powell for the result - he'd withdrawn from the race telling everyone to vote Labour, and around his constituency in the West Midlands, 11 seats had gone to Labour with much larger swings than average, thus creating the deadlock.
		Robin thought the UK might be "right on the edge of a ghastly disaster", while David said that the entire country had, given the chance to vote, all opted for "don't know".

		Gentleman's constituency also has that status and I should have thought that that was a reason for both of us to be pleased with a Labour Government.
		I pay the SNP one tribute, however: it is on course to do something that the major Scottish teams never managed--to get 10 in a row--but in the case of the SNP that will be 10 by-elections in a row that it is liable to have lost.
		It is not my position that Westminster Ministers should never appear at Holyrood; my position--and, incidentally, the position agreed between the two Parliaments and in the concordats that we have all agreed--is that the first responsibility of any Minister is obviously to their own Parliament.
