Two weeks after the country went to the polls and the results were in, with there being little surprise to see David Lloyd George’s coalition government returned with a thumping majority. And there was plenty to read about in today’s issue concerning the outcome, from the results on page 9 which include the mass loss of seats of Liberal opposition leaders with Herbert Asquith only the most notable casualty among many, through Our Labour Correspondent’s joy to see the “dismissal” of the “three high priests of Pacifism” from Parliament on page 7, to Perceval Landon’s account of the “general satisfaction” in Paris of the result on page 6. The leader article on page 8 was the purveyor of today’s superlatives – “There never has been, and probably there never will be again, an election like that of which the results were disclosed on Saturday” which “changes the political landscape in more startling fashion than the most tumultuous of electoral earthquakes ever did in the past.” Statements which sound like they should be part of a history exam paper, with the exhortation to discuss. One notable new MP was Constance Markievitz, the only woman of sixteen or stood to be elected, as one of 72 Sinn Fein MPs with the Irish nationalists receiving a pummelling (page 9), a result which Our Own Correspondent in Dublin on page 14 sees as tantamount to the country voting itself out of Parliament.. On pages 12 to 14 you can discover the full results, whilst even Rowntree’s got in on the election act with their cocoa advert on page 7!
