On Thursday 9 June 1983, the 1983 United Kingdom general election was held in Scotland, to elect all 650 members of the House of Commons, with 72 constituencies being in Scotland. As a result of the third periodic review of Westminster constituencies undertaken by the Boundary Commission for Scotland the number of seats representing Scotland had increased by one to 72 constituencies from the 71 contested between the general elections in 1955 and 1979. When combined with results from across the United Kingdom, the election saw the Conservatives winning a landslide victory, improving on their 1979 result and achieving their best results since 1935. Although there was a slight drop in their share of the vote, they made significant gains at the expense of Labour. This was at odds with the Scottish result, as Labour remained by far the largest party in Scotland.
