James Callaghan

---

, The new Labour leader faces a huge task. The Party 's performance in the 2019 Federal election was the worst since 1935.

Battered about Escape, losing support in previous strongholds, and led by Jeremy Corbyn , whose personal ratings were among the lowest ever recorded, labour took a hammering.

the new leader Can-around The Party , the prospects are?

Here is what is told in 100 years of the vote to us about the scale of The Task in front of us.

Labour had its first Prime Minister in 1924

More Than 700 million votes were cast in the UK General elections since 1918, some 300 million of them for work.

The Party has produced its first Prime Minister , Ramsay Macdonald , who was at The Head of a minority government in 1924.

Labour ' s first Prime Minister , Ramsay Macdonald

Since then, the Labour of eight General elections, and produced a further five Prime Ministers : Clement Attlee (1945-51), Harold Wilson (1964-70 and 1974-76), James Callaghan (1976-79), Tony Blair (1997-2007) and Gordon Brown (2007-10) won.

labour market as weak as now, it was in the 1930s

This is a disaster for Labour, leaving Jeremy Corbyn ' s party with 202 seats 650 under The House .

Labour's new leader have, the fewer colleagues in The House of Commons than any Labour leader since the age of 84.

The Party lost heavily, even in areas where the working class supporters of labour had kept afloat for generations.

the Former mining communities in North-East England , and turned away. The Party lost seats in every English region except London .

-, work -, with only one seat out of 59, were all But wiped out.

labour suffered heavy defeats in front of the

in 1983, labour, under Michael Foot , won only seven seats More Than the current record.

Labour's poor performance followed a damaging split, which resulted in the formation of The Social Democratic Party (SDP).

in the year 2019, work sharp criticism faced, a Manifesto widely seen as too radical. Critics called it "the longest Suicide Note in History ".

Michael Foot , Labour's 1983 Manifesto

Mr foot also, given the Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher , who rode on the crest of popularity, spurred on by the victory in the Falklands War against Argentina.

work has made some great comebacks

The prospects for the new leader can be gloomy, But Labour has recovered from heavy defeats.

By 1983, it took The Party another 14 years to return to Power - in 1997, when Tony Blair won a landslide victory.

The result ended 18 years of Conservative rule under Margaret Thatcher and John Major and was working-418 seats.

Tony Blair went on to win two further elections in 2001 and 2005. In election circles, the terms and conditions, he had to be The Most successful leader labour ever.

the work under Mr Blair and Gordon Brown was in Power for 13 years.

Tony Blair won three elections for Labour in 1997, 2001 and 2005

Similarly, the 1945 Labour overcame to win huge challenges, with a significant majority.

The Conservative Prime Minister , Winston Churchill , had led the country to victory over The Nazis .

The election took place less than two months after the end of hostilities in Europe.

The Labour leader Clement Attlee mounted a very successful campaign for a program of post-war reconstruction.

Labour leader Clement Attlee won a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections of 1945,

Its 145-seat-majority of Labour first of all, Mr Attlee enabled to introduce a sweeping program of reforms, including the introduction of the National Health Service.

What are the possible routes are returned to Power ?

analysis by Peter Barnes , the BBC's Senior Political Analyst

win is Probably the "easiest" way would be to capture most of the seats lost by the Labour since The Last victory in 2005.

These charts show that the parts of the UK, where the Labour back like, most of them are Scotland and The Midlands - definitely not in London , where The Party has actually become stronger.

A huge difficulty with this would be to search for a guide, and the policy that would be an incentive for the voters lost by the Conservatives on The One side, and the SNP on The Other .

would It be possible to do it without Scotland - Tony Blair always had seats, a majority of English - But that would require significant gains in the whole of The Midlands and the North of England - as well as some parts of The South .

A third way, But perhaps the is most plausible to least, is an important reorientation, where the work won large parts of southern England , which kept The Party never before.

whatever strategy that chooses the new leader, you have a huge task in front of you.

Scotland and The South -East-England are a big challenge

When the work is to make big gains the next time, the historical record suggests that they are unlikely to come in South-East England .

at no point in The Last 100 years, Labour won a majority of seats and the Tories dominated almost the entire region.

Tony Blair and Clement Attlee made some gains, But they, too, were limited.

Hugh Gaitskell , who was the leader from 1955 to 1963, Harold Wilson , (1963-76), James Callaghan (1976-80) and Neil Kinnock (1983-92) had little effect.

a Union leader from Ramsay Macdonald in the 1920s, right up to Ed Miliband in 2015, Scotland saw as Fertile Ground .

Still, Michael Foot , took 41 seats in the year 1983.

The Scottish National Party (SNP), which was founded in the year 1934, made some gains in the 1970s, But lasted only two seats in 1983.

It could hardly be more different now. The prospects for the new Labour leader in Scotland is bleak.

For 2015, the SNP under Alex Salmond And Then Nicola Sturgeon dominated, almost completely. Labor was almost wiped out in 2015.

He made a small comeback in 2017, But has been almost eradicated, back in the year 2019.

labour needs to win back constituencies in the North-East of England

In England , the North-East was the castle, the work of The Most high.

the Former mining communities and other predominantly working class areas, labour voted in large numbers from The Party 's earliest days.

But here, too, the Tories significant gains in 2019.

The Conservatives have a higher share of the North-East of England seats than at any time since 1935.

Brings the constituencies, a Labour seat from 1950 to 2019, and, work, from 1935 until 2019, back in the fold is a major challenge for the work of the new leader is.

The Conservative government it will have to fight hard to stop that from happening.

London and north west England offer some hope

in London , could was an exception, for workers and their new leader, the capital of a predominantly labour city.

In the year 2019, The Party carried out, there as it has in every election since 1950, with the exception of when the work was under the leadership of Tony Blair .

sticking to spaces in London , can be an easier task for the new leader as an extension of the support outside the capital.

Also in the North West of England Fertile Ground for the new Labour leader could be.

The Party lost seats in this region in the year 2019, But still holds More Than half, a higher percentage than during most of the 20Th Century .

methodology and precautions

We analyzed data of all General elections since 1918 in the possession of The House of Commons library.

Each choice takes the same width on the graph.

We don't have elections.

the data for Northern Ireland from 1922.

There have been numerous changes to constituency boundaries, and changes in The Number of seats in The House of Commons since 1918.

The Height of the individual nation or region in the chart is proportional to the current number of constituencies. So Scotland holds 59/650ths of the graph, and Northern Ireland 18/650ths of the graph height, as they currently have 59 and 18 constituencies respectively, (out of a total of 650).

this amount is distributed on all the seats, which were held in a particular election.

We have gathered that some parties in a category, for example, the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats , or Labour and Independent work.

Before 1974, the Ulster unionists are listed in The House of Commons data, as a Conservative, as the Conservative whip took.

We have also excluded a small number of University seats that existed prior to 1945 and the second seats from the two-seat constituencies, which existed before 1950.

Neither substantially the proportions shown in The Charts .
