- United_Kingdom_general_election,_1964 abstract "The United Kingdom general election of 1964 was won by the Labour Party with a majority of four seats. It was held on 15 October 1964, just over five years after the previous election, and 13 years after the Conservative Party had retaken power. Both major parties had changed leaders in 1963: after the sudden death of Hugh Gaitskell, Labour chose Harold Wilson (who was then thought of as being on the party's centre-left) and the Conservatives Sir Alec Douglas-Home (then the Earl of Home) after Harold Macmillan announced his resignation. (Douglas-Home shortly afterwards disclaimed his title under the Peerage Act 1963 in order to lead the party from the Commons.) Macmillan's government had been increasingly unpopular in the mid term, and Douglas-Home faced a difficult task in rebuilding the party's popularity. Wilson had begun to try to tie the Labour Party to the growing confidence of Britain in the 1960s, asserting that the "white heat of revolution" would sweep away "restrictive practices... on both sides of industry". The Liberal Party enjoyed a resurgence and doubled its share of the vote, primarily at the expense of the Conservatives. Although Labour did not increase its vote share significantly, the fall in support for the Conservatives led to Wilson securing a overall majority of four seats. This proved to be unworkable and Wilson called a snap election in 1966.The election night was broadcast live on the BBC, and was presented by Richard Dimbleby, with Robin Day, Cliff Michelmore and David Butler.".
