A little knowledge about United Kingdom.: The last time a vote of no confidence led to a general election was in 1979. The Labour government led by James Callaghan faced a vote of no confidence on 28 March 1979 following a defeat over a referendum for devolution to Scotland and lost by just one vote. Following the vote, brought by opposition leader Margaret Thatcher, Callaghan was forced to call a general election which was won by Thatcher’s party.
