2019 United Kingdom general election

A general election was held on 12 December 2019 to elect all 650 members to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The Conservative Party won with a landslide majority and Boris Johnson stayed as Prime Minister. The Labour Party lost 60 seats, giving them their lowest number of seats (202) since 1935.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn quit after the loss saying he "would not lead Labour at the next election". This led to a leadership election in the party where Keir Starmer became the new leader.

34 MPs out of the  650 elected had quit or been disciplined by their party or by parliamentary colleagues over claims of bad behaviour by the end of 2023.  This was more than any previous parliament.
