The British general election of 1931 marked the culmination of a
period of political and economic crisis, and has long been regarded
as a watershed in twentieth-century British history. In the summer
of 1931 a struggling Labour government collapsed; its leader,
Ramsay MacDonald, stayed on to form a National government supported
mainly by Conservatives and Liberals. Within six weeks the decision
to call an election was taken, and in the ensuing contest the
Nationals won an overwhelming victory. Labour was left with a rump
of 46 MPs, a decade in opposition, and an enduring sense of
betrayal. Andrew Thorpe argues that, while 1931 changed much, the
general trends towards Conservative hegemony and two-party politics
were little disturbed by the crisis. He traces the background to
the events of 1931, and examines their implications in detail. His
scholarly analysis is the first full-length study of the election
to benefit from unrestricted access to contemporary documents, and
will be of value to all students of twentieth-century British
politics.
