Alternate General Elections since 1950

I have been interested in elections since the 1989 European Elections and have over the course of time managed to collate the results of every general election since 1950 (when the university seats were abolished and we had true universal suffrage) as well as every opinion poll published. I would like to know therefore if members would be interested in the results of every general election since 1950 on the following premise.

Following the resignation of Stanley Baldwin as Prime Minister in 1937 following the Abdication Crisis, a private member's bill was introduced into Parliament calling for there to be a fresh general election no more than six months after the new Prime Minister was installed in order to ensure that the incoming Prime Minister had an electoral mandate. To the surprise of most experts, the bill passed through Parliament very quickly and was given Royal Assent the day before war broke out.

If so, then the first alternate general election would happen no later than July 1957 (following the resignation of Eden as Prime Minister) and would be based on the opinion polls in July 1957 with subsequent elections based on the results of that election.
 
Sir Anthony Eden resigned as Prime Minister on January 9th 1957 and remained a member of Parliament until March of that year with Harold MacMillan being sworn in as Prime Minister on January 10th 1957. When he kissed hands with the Queen taking the seals of office he stated that he did not believe he would remain Prime Minister for more than six weeks due to the Suez crisis aftermath and that is precisely what happened as the government lost a vote of confidence on February 21st 1957 (by one vote) and a general election was called for March 21st 1957. The results of that general election was a Labour victory, as Labour polled 49%, the Conservatives polled 40% and the Liberals polled 9% (Labour +3% on 1955, Conservatives -10% on 1955 and the Liberals +6% on 1955). Thus on March 22nd 1957, Hugh Gaitskill was driven to the Palace where he kissed hands with Her Majesty to become the second Labour Prime Minister of the Queen's reign.

The final results of the election were: Labour 330 seats (+53), Conservatives 289 seats (-55), Liberals 8 seats (+2), Others 3 (unchanged) giving Labour a majority of 30

The gains were:
From Conservative to Labour:
Battersea South, Berwick and East Lothian, Bradford North, Brentford and Chiswick, Buckingham, Burton, Camberwell (Dulwich), Carlisle, Central Ayrshire, Chigwell, Darlington, Devizes, Doncaster, Dover, Ealing North, Eastleigh, Eye, Glasgow Craigton, Glasgow Scotstoun, Grantham, Halifax, Heywood and Royton, Hitchin, Hornchurch, King's Lynn, Kingston upon Hull North, Lanark, Liverpool Kirkdale, Liverpool Walton, Liverpool West Derby, Maldon, Manchester Wythenshawe, Norwich South, Nottingham Central, Oldham East, Peterborough, Plymouth Devonport, Preston South, Rochdale, Rushcliffe, Rutherglen, South Bedfordshire, South Gloucestershire, South Norfolk, Sunderland South, The Wrekin, Walsall South, Walthamstow East, Wandsworth Central, Watford, Woolwich West, Yarmouth, York
From Conservative to Liberal:
Inverness, North Cornwall

Harold MacMillian tendered his resignation as leader of the Conservatives but it was rejected as all 289 Conservative MP's voted against the motion of no confidence drawn up by the Conservative Central Office. As a result of the change of government, Singapore's independence is put to a referendum, the trial of John Bodkin Adams is dismissed and a new trial ordered by the Home Secretary (Patrick Gordon Walker), there is no nuclear test (Operation Grapple), the Tryweryn Bill is dropped by the Prime Minister and discussions start between the councils of Caernarfonshire, Meirionethshire and the city of Liverpool as to how to get water to the city from North Wales along with the Welsh Secretary (appointed by the Prime Minister).

The next general election was held in March 1961, despite the opinion polls looking gloomy for the government following a statement by the Prime Minister that following the discovery of a spy ring the British electorate should have the right to decide if the government should continue in office or not. The electorate's view was that it should not continue in office as Harold MacMillan returned to power with a majority of 60. Hugh Gaitskill, citing precedent offered to contest a leadership election which he won beating Anthony Greenwood MP (Lab, Rossendale) by a margin of three to one.

The full results were: Conservatives 345 seats (+56 seats), Labour 267 seats (-63 seats), Liberals 14 seats (+6 seats), Others 4 seats (+1)

Harold MacMillian resigned as Prime Minister on October 18th 1963 and was succeeded by Sir Alec Douglas Home (who rescinded his peerage and announced that he would seek election to Parliament at the general election to be held on April 16th 1964 in the constituency of Kinross and West Perthshire. As it was although he was indeed elected to the constituency, he was rejected as Prime Minister as Harold Wilson won the election with a landslide majority of 176 (even bigger than the majority that Labour had won after the Second World War) resulting in 136 Labour gains. It was also a very good night for the Liberals winning 35 seats (a net gain of 21) resulting in their best ever tally for over a generation. Sir Alec Douglas Home remained in his role as Conservative leader and announced his resignation in April 1965 and was replaced by Edward Heath MP (Con, Sidcup).

The full results of the election were: Labour 403 seats (+136 seats), Conservatives 188 seats (-157 seats), Liberals 35 seats (+21 seats), Others 4 seats (unchanged)

Due to the large number of gains, it is not possible to list them all, so here are some of the highlights:
Labour GAINS from Conservative: Abingdon, Ashford, Bath, Bexley, Bury St. Edmunds, Cambridgeshire, Conway, Monmouth, Rutland and Stamford, South Northamptonshire, Wells, Yeovil
Liberal GAINS from Conservative: Caithness and Sutherland, Cheadle, Chippenham, Epping, Finchley, High Peak, Honiton, Penrith and the Border, Pudsey, Salisbury, Scarborough and Whitby, Southgate, Tavistock, Totnes, Truro, Westbury, Westmorland,
Liberal GAINS from Labour: Oldbury and Halesowen, Sowerby,
Republican Labour GAIN from Unionist: Belfast West
Labour GAIN from Independent: Pembroke

As Harold Wilson entered Downing Street, he announced the date of the next general election as April 18th 1968 to ensure "that this government does not believe it can go on forever as past governments have done without the consultation of the people", which was formally adopted as law the following year with the passing of the General Election Act 1965 which set general elections to be held every four years in addition to the six month rule after a prime ministerial resignation.
 
True to his word, Harold Wilson called the 1968 general election for April 18th wishing to prove, as he said when he returned from the Queen, "that the white heat of technology surging through this nation can only survive with Labour at the helm". Sadly for Mr. Wilson the electorate thought otherwise and elected Edward Heath as the Prime Minister in a massive reversal of fortune compared to the last election. The Conservatives gained a staggering 236 seats to win a total of 424 overall and claim a majority of 218 which saw them take seats from the Liberals as well, despite the Liberal vote share remaining unchanged. Major casualties of the night were: Celdwyn Hughes (who lost to the Liberals in Anglesey), Woodrow Wyatt (in Bosworth), Tony Benn (in Bristol), Robert Maxwell (in Buckingham), James Callaghan (in Cardiff South East) and Desmond Donnelly (who lost in Pembroke to a rural Independent).

The final results were: Conservatives 424 seats (+236 seats), Labour 181 seats (-222 seats), Liberals 21 seats (-14 seats), Others 4 seats (unchanged)

Edward Heath's first action was to announce the repealing of the General Election Act of 1965 and to replace it with a new General Election Act that fixed Parliaments to a five year term, with the option of a general election after three years if the government won a motion approving a general election. The move was instantly criticised by Harold Wilson who announced that he would not stand down as Labour leader despite the defeat and that when the motion was discussed in the Commons, he called on Conservative MP's opposed to the plans to vote with him. The law was passed in 1969 with a majority of 400 as some Labour MP's felt that they had a better chance in 1971 than 1973.
