leader Mrs. Margaret Thatcher and her insistence or get defences against

Russia that she has been called the "Iron Lady" by the

& authorivies.

The Conservative Farty's foreign policy is more ponu tan that of the

Labour Party. This is another reason for the Tories' inny (in the general

election).

Government elected by the majority may be stable

According to statistics, the parliamentary seats gained by different

parties in the election are as follows: Conservatives (329); Labour (268);

Liberals (11); Scottish Nationalists (2); Welsh Nationalists (2) and others (13).

It shows that the Conservatives have 43 seats more than the total seats gained

by other parties in the House of Commons. Because of this majority of 43 seats,

the Conservative Government would not have the same difficulties as the ex-

Labour Government, which when faced with big problems could not even depend on

the support of its own members. The former Labour Government was defeated by

one vote during the "no-confidence" motion in parliament. Now, since the

Conservative Party has gained a majority vote, the Conservative Government

led by Mrs. Thatcher will certainly be a more stable one. It is anticipated

that the cabinet of the 'Iron Lady' will administer its government programmes

more smoothly in the next five years.

Difficulty ahead with the Labour Union

Of course,

it does not mean that the Government of the 'Iron Lady'

is "iron-made" and would not encounter any problems. It also faces many

difficulties.
