He won more elections than any other 20th century Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (in 1964, 1966, February and October 1974)—three with a majority (1964,1966 and October 1974) and one where Labour was the largest party and formed a minority government (February 1974)

Wilson resigned as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party in 1976. He died of colon cancer and Alzheimer's disease in 1995.
