The Labor Party, by contrast, captured only 209 seats, while the new Social Democratic/Liberal Alliance picked up 23.* Thatcher becomes the first Conservative Prime Minister in this century to be re-elected to a second term, a feat unmatched even by such illustrious entries on the stairway wall as Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan.
