Saturday 14 December 1918

1918 UK general election results

The Conservatives won the most seats: 365 of the 674 single-member and unopposed seats the source breaks down by party (32 seats in two-member and university constituencies are not split by party in the source). Afterwards: Coalition government (Conservative and Coalition Liberal) under David Lloyd George, with David Lloyd George as prime minister.

32 seats are not allocated to parties here. They were in two- and three-member constituencies (some towns and the universities), where the House of Commons Library dataset gives votes by party rather than by candidate. The Library’s own published totals for this election, including those seats, are Conservative 382 and Labour 57 (its Conservative figure includes allied groups).
