seats, forming a government for the first time since 1951. Labour achieved a swing of just over 3%, although its vote rose by only 0.3% and it earned a lesser number of votes than in its previous defeats of 1955 and 1959. The main shift in votes was a 5.7% swing from the Conservatives to the Liberals. The Liberals defied popular expectations of a net loss and won nearly twice as many votes as in 1959, partly because they fielded 150 more candidates. Although this was the Liberals' best electoral performance since the <a href="/wiki/1929_United_Kingdom_general_election" title="1929 United Kingdom general election">1929 general election</a> and left the party in a key parliamentary position due to Labour's slender majority, it failed to regain its pre-<a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> status as a party of government as it had hoped.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_18-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Wilson became <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Prime Minister of the United Kingdom">Prime Minister</a>, replacing Douglas-Home; Labour's four-seat majority was not sustainable for a full Parliament, and Wilson ultimately called another <a href="/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election" title="1966 United Kingdom general election">general election in 1966</a> which saw his majority expanded.

It is also the only time that both Labour and the Conservatives have taken over 300 seats each, and was the last election in which any one party (the Conservatives) contested every single seat. The Conservatives had previously chose not to contest certain Liberal-held seats as per local-level agreements to avoid <a href="/wiki/Vote_splitting" class="mw-redirect" title="Vote splitting">vote splitting</a>, but ended that policy at this election. The resultant splitting of votes actually helped grant Labour a majority, by throwing two formerly Liberal-held seats in northern England to Labour; however, the outcome of the election would not have been meaningfully altered had the Liberals retained the seats, as Labour would still have had as many seats as the other two parties combined, and Liberal leader <a href="/wiki/Jo_Grimond" title="Jo Grimond">Jo Grimond</a> did not want to support a Conservative minority government. </p><p>Douglas-Home told <a href="/wiki/D._R._Thorpe" title="D.
