The election resulted in the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] winning 39% of the popular vote, the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] winning 38% and the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Social and Liberal Democrats (SLD)]] 18%. The Conservatives gained 9 seats, Labour gained 76 seats and the SLD lost 122 seats.
