The victory of the Coalition was accentuated by the huge
majorities recorded for the members of else Government. All of them were returned, and all, except three University Members, had majorities exceeding a thousand. Mr. Lloyd George himself polled 13,993 votes at Carnarvon to the 1,095 given for Mr. Austin Harrison. Mr. Churchill was re-elected for Dundee by a majority of 15,305. Mr. Boma Law won Central Glasgow by 12,917. Mr. Forster won Bromley by 12,501. At Newcastle Mr. Shortt had a majority of 6,401. Dr. Addison, who had four opponents at Shoreditch, polled more votes than they received in all and won by 6,118. Never did a modern Government receive a more decisive vote of confidence than this.
