A surge, a sweep and a
surprise: Britain enters
a new political era
Benji-Alexander Williams, Manager of
Public & Parliamentary
Affairs (RICS), discusses the surprising election outcome on www.
rics.org.
“Who said politics was
boring? After weeks of
uneventful campaigning the
British electorate delivered
their verdict, and with it the
first surprise result since Neil
Kinnock’s defeat in 1992.
“Despite consistent predictions that the Conservatives
would do well to remain
the largest party in a hung
parliament, David Cameron
now returns to Parliament
with a slim but workable
majority.
“Furthermore, by lunchtime
on Friday 8th May he was
the only remaining leader of
a major UK political party,
following the resignations
of Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg
and Nigel Farage, which has

“Britain’s long-standing
third party has been violently displaced by two new
contenders for the bronze
crown of British politics.
Losing 49 seats, the Liberal Democrats have been
reduced to a rump of eight
MPs, the same number as
Northern Ireland’s DUP,
while the SNP has taken
clean sweep of all but three
of Scotland’s 59 seats.
“But the quieter and far
more significant shift was
the surge in UKIP support

MP, it did award them third
place with a vote share
greater than that of the SNP
and Liberal Democrats combined. Britain, it seems, has
two new third parties.
“Key to the future of devolution is the regional aspect
to this outcome, with London and the urban North
deepening its commitment
to a post-Blair Labour party
while the rest of England
turned solidly blue through
Conservative consolidation.
“Scotland’s overwhelming
flock to the SNP demon-
strates the impact of the
Independence referendum,
and the concern over the
implementation of further promised devolution
measures. In contrast to the
regionalisation of other parties, it was the sheer spread
of UKIP’s appeal from the
Labour heartlands of the
North to the Tory shires of
the south that marks them
out as a significant minority
phenomeno n that will make
the question of England’s
place in any new devolution settlement all the more
critical.

“With a single party government, a slim majority,
several leadership races,
a referendum on Britain’s
EU membership and a
new constitutional settlement out ahead of us, this
promises to be a parliamentary term like none we
have known for some time.
Whether it proves to be the
‘something special’ that the
Prime Minister predicted
today has yet to be seen,
but one thing is for sure
– we’re unlikely to be as
bored as we were during
the campaign.”
