Description:Andrew Bonar Law's Conservatives emerged from the General Election with a clear majority, although facing a stronger opposition than before due to the breakdown of the coalition with the Liberals. This election spelled the end of the Liberal Party as a political force in the UK, they were now split into two groups - the Liberal group of Lloyd George and the National Liberals of Asquith. The election will probably be best remembered as the one which saw the emergence of the Labour Party as the main rivals to the Conservatives. Their 134 seats made them the government's main opposition. The Labour leader was John Robert Clynes who was replaced by James Ramsay MacDonald a week after the election.
