10 October – The second
general election of the year results in a narrow victory for Prime Minister
Harold Wilson, giving Labour a slim majority of three seats. Labour also wins a majority of seats in Scotland for a second time in the year; whilst the Scottish National Party secures its highest-ever Westminster representation up to this date with 11 seats. It would be
41 years before the SNP would not only beat their own record result; but also replace Labour as the largest political party in Scotland.
