	United Kingdom general election, 1945 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United Kingdom General Election of 1945 held on 5 July 1945 but not counted and declared until 26 July 1945 (due to the time it took to transport the votes of those serving overseas) was one of the most significant general elections of the 20th century.
		Held just months after VE Day, it was the first general election to be held since 1935, as general elections had been suspended during World War II.
		It resulted in the shock election defeat of the Conservatives led by Winston Churchill and the landslide victory of the Labour Party led by Clement Attlee, who won a majority of 145 seats.

		The United Kingdom general election of 1964 result was a very slim majority for the Labour Party, of four seats, and led to their first government since 1951.
		The Labour victory was largely due to the increased vote for the Liberals from 5.9% in 1959 to 11.2% which came at the expense of the Conservatives, rather than an increase in the vote for Labour, which was less than its 1959 total.
		The majority was unworkable and there had to be another general election in 1966.
