...naturally hailed with enthusiasm by that party and there followed a lot of wild talk about a dissolution of Parliament and a general election. In point of fact the borough elections have nothing to do with a national general election and cannot be fairly said to show a sentiment for a change of government, as local and not national issues are the primary considerations.
