Image:Titles 1979.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I think it would be better to have photos of the three party leaders from the actual time. These photos are from later on, especially the photo of David Steel. He looked much younger than this in 1979. Ajs41 (talk) 19:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Inspired by the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Loony left I was going to cite the example of possibly the most famous British political campaign slogan, "Labour isn't working". However I've discovered we have no significant coverage of it at all on Wikipedia, just a couple of mentions at Margaret Thatcher and Saatchi & Saatchi. I don't think it deserves more than a paragraph of coverage, but it does merit that and I think that the "Campaign" section of this article would be the natural home for it. When we have some coverage Labour isn't working/Labour Isn't Working (I don't know what the correct capitalisation is) should then redirect to that section if people agree.

Changed a line that asserted the lost vote forced a GE, the implication was that lost confidence votes always cause elections, that's not true. Callaghan, having lost the vote, could have either resigned as PM, in which case Thatcher would have been called, or ask for a dissolution to fight a GE; he announced publicly he would do so "We shall take our case to the country". Confidence votes lost don't automatically trigger elections. 82.38.130.34 (talk) 17:54, 29 May 2010 (UTC)MatGB

"saw a 5.2% swing from Labour" where does this magic 5.2 come from?Kitchen Knife (talk) 21:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
The map seems to be missing a couple of Liberals and has made what looks like Enfield Southgate independent. Can anyone correct it?--82.35.251.109 (talk) 11:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
