The Coalition Liberals in alliance with the Conservatives supported 
the Lloyd George government. The followers of Asquith fought the 
election as "Liberals without prefix." The Sinn Fein members did
not take their seats.

23 Coalition Liberals, 41 Conservatives, 11 Labour members, 4 
Liberals and 25 Sinn Fein members were elected without opposition. 
This explains the disparity between the party vote totals and the 
number of MPs elected.

Women voted for the first time at this election.
