1983-style vote share changes there. How many places did the Liberals not stand in 1979??
I was going to say that it looks like an argument for a "progressive alliance"

The Liberals stood in 577 of the 635 seats in 1979. |

The Liberals stood in 577 of the 635 seats in 1979. 577 of 623 in practice. The three largest parties stopped standing in Northern Ireland from the February 1974 general election onwards. The majority of the gaps were in Scotland and Wales, with 10 more in England. Presumably it was down to a lack of resources (and possibly even willing candidates, as Butler & Kavanagh hinted at in their analysis of the October 1974 general election). |

I can remember being amazed we managed to stand as many candidates as we did in 1979 after the difficult time surrounding the Lib-Lab pact. Remember the percentage to retain your deposit was 12.5% in those days - quite a lot of constituencies could barely manage to get the deposit sum together even though it was a lower amount than today (£150, equivalent to about £530 today).

Indeed, but Butler & Kavanagh reported that the Liberals apparently had to draft in "strangers" to fill the gaps-a considerable proportion of October 1974 Liberal candidates did not contest any other parliamentary elections.

Why is Crown so named? Perhaps it could be something to do with the fact that there are some Duchy of Lancaster woodlands in the area. Yes - lots of woodland, farms and arable land all under the banner of the Duchy of Lancaster, but locally still known as Needwood Estate. The A515 runs as a spine through the estate and there are signs up everywhere (usually with 'private land' underneath - hmmm). The estate historically included Tutbury Castle with its strong royal connections (Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned there for a long time) and the site of RAF Fauld where the UK's largest accidental explosion happened in November 1944 when an underground arms storage depot went up The site of the crater is actually within Crown Ward as it is much closer to Hanbury than its eponymous village. |
