Worse election defeat

[Harry Hayfield]

I voted for the Republicans in 1932 because their scale was much, much bigger than the Conservatives in 1997. The Republicans vote share went from 58% to 40% and endured an 18% swing, the Conservatives went from 42% in 1992 to 31% in 1997 (-11%) and endured a 10% swing (a swing that, as been pointed out, it took them three elections to over turn)
