The composition Of the new British par
lament elections which are now COM
pleted, is as follows:- Liberals, 316; union-
lists, 100; nationalists, 81; laborites, oJ,
The liberals have majority over all OF y
votes, but such a thing as combination
Of the entire force Of laborites and nation
alists against the government Is hardly
conceivable. On the contrary, the labor
partv members and nationalist members
NAV safely be counted on the govern
ment's side on the main issues IN parlia-
ment for some time TO come. The election
probably marks the end OF the old two
party system, there now being tout
groups, OF which the laborites are the most
interesting.
