The 1874 UK general election ended with the Liberals, led by William Gladstone, winning a majority of the votes cast, but Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives winning the majority of seats in the House of Commons, largely because they won a number of uncontested seats.
The election also saw Irish Nationalists in the Home Rule Party become the first significant third party in Parliament.
