BBC Parliament is repeating Election 74 (the February one). This election saw:
The first hung parliament since 1929
The biggest slump in government support since 1945
The lowest Labour vote share since 1935
The biggest third party share since 1929
The birth of the modern three-party system

Thanks. I don't remember it well! But I do remember the Oct 1974 election as that is when it all started for me. All the TV elections are fascinating.
Could the country cope with two elections in 2015? I don't know. We could be in 1974 yet again but I feel that we may be about to see another 1992.
Edward Richard George Heath holds on to his seat.
Anyway all i can remember is everything in the bbc studios at the time looked biege or tope, and everyone was smoking!!!!:o
Past elections are regularly run on BBC. I like watching them because I can remember most of them. I am always amazed at how "all male" they are. This one took place forty years ago on the 28th February and it was freezing cold.
