The Fourth United Kingdom general election was held on 23 January 2019 to elect 650 members to the House of Commons. The election saw the Conservatives win a landslide victory, winning 421 with a net gain of 133 seats. As such, this was the first election to return a majority government to the House of Commons. The Labour Party were handed a crushing defeat with a net loss of 126, losing the majority of the seats they held and returning to Parliament barely clinging onto three figures with 105 seats.
UKIP saw very minor losses although this is attributed to some high profile members of the party including its leader George Windsor becoming a lord; the party actually made numerous gains in different seats but however due to the aforementioned defections to the House of Lords the party made a small net loss. The British Fascists under a new leader, former Conservative member Chairman Mao made a minuscule amount of gains with 3 seats. The Liberal Democrats achieved their best election result yet with 29 seats.
The British Syndicalist Party which held 13 seats in the previous parliament and Sinn Féin which held 5 seats previously were entirely wiped out in this election, garnering zero seats and fielding no candidates. The Scottish National Party's seats were slashed in half from ten to five, and both the DUP and UUP gained one seat each.
Enzo Liddell-Grainger returned as Prime Minister for a second consecutive term.
