74-75..
Sounds like the title of a song
It has to be remembered that the circumstances of the February 1974 election were hugely unusual. The country was in the grip of widespread industrial unrest especially a miners' strike which had led to power cuts and the introduction of the infamous "3-day week".
It was the replacement of the Conservatives by a Labour Government led by Harold Wilson that brought the strike to a conclusion. Had the Conservatives and Liberals formed a Coalition, they would have also faced the issue of the miners' strike. I'm not sure how this could have been resolved.
