Fulham East by-election, 1933

Fulham East by-election, 1933

The Fulham East by-election, in Fulham, on 25 October 1933 was held after Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Kenyon Vaughan-Morgan died. In what had been a safe Conservative seat the election was surprisinlgy won by John Charles Wilmot of Labour.

The election was seen as a test of the developing mood of Pacifism in the country at the ime, so much so that it became known as the 'Peace by-election'. The heavy defeat for the National Government candidate, a strong supporter of rearmament, helped, along with the Peace Ballot of 1935, to bring about a rethink in the government's agenda.
