Britain’s new Government Will Command a 50 Vote Majority
London Aug. 29 The new national government faces Parliament with a working majority of 50. The party meetings show Labor support weaker on back benches, while Conservatives present no dissent. Liberals show one nonparliamentary dissenter. The government counts six independents and three Liberal Independents among its backers, with Labor members MacDonald Snowden Jowitt and two new supporters Malcolm MacDonald and M. Gillett joining. The Commons’ full strength is 612. 331 for government and 281 opposition, creating a technical majority of 50 though real majorities vary by division.
