The national projected share of the vote was Labour 42%, Conservative 36%, [[Liberal Democrats]] 19%. The Conservatives gained 92 seats, Labour gained 35 seats and the Liberal Democrats lost 175 seats. It was Labour's largest share of the vote in any election in a decade, as the party's popularity continued to improve as a result of the ongoing modernisation process under [[Neil Kinnock]], and the fact that the Conservative government's popularity was starting to fall following the announcement of the poll tax.
