The British general election was at bottom, a contest between two liberal parties, one of which had the great advantage of holding power. It was little wonder, then, that the Tories came back, a swing of less than 2 percent of the vote giving them a margin of 59 seats in the new Parliament.

For the past nine years employment has remained at about 98 per cent. With the memory of jobless millions of pre-war years stilt fresh, this has meant a great deal. Laborites never tire of comparing employment figures for years after World War II with those for years after World War I and they claim full credit for the difference. Tories for their part deride the government's role. They say the cold war and the repayment of sterling balances overseas have provided an artificial market for British goods.

It seems to be generally conceded by the English Tories that the Liberals will come into power at the next general election, which will take place this year or the beginning of next year.

Gladstone's death or breakdown, though not wholly abandoned, has lost nearly all its value as a political force. There is every sign that he will hold out at least two years more.

This article focuses on the Great Britain's forthcoming general election. The betting on the election has opened with odds of six to four in favor of a Tory majority. That is probably a realistic appraisal, for the Labor government's recent "form" has not been that of a winner. It has, of course, been dogged by bad luck. The promised harvest from the seeds of economic expansion and social reform sown between 1945 and 1950 has partially withered in the fierce heat of the post-Korean international crisis. But Labor has shown no great ability or inspiration in the face of difficulties, and it looks like a government of mentally and physically weary men which an equally weary electorate may seek to replace, hoping that a change in political direction will bring better times.
