Interesting Facts 1. No party has come back into government after just one term of opposition since 1979, when Margaret Thatcher beat Jim Callaghan. This is what Ed Miliband must achieve. 2. No matter what the results are, more than 1 in 10 MPs will be different (as at least 77 of the current ones have said they are standing down) 3. To beat Miliband, David Cameron must increase the Tory's share of the vote from No governing party has managed to do this since It is something neither Tony Blair nor Margaret Thatcher could achieve. 4. Miliband could become the first atheist prime minister of the UK. 5. Miliband is the shortest of the three main party leaders at 1.8m. Clegg and Cameron are a statuesque 1.85m, one inch shorter than the tallest ever prime minister, James Callaghan. 6. No two prime ministers have ever represented the same constituency. 7. Every prime minister has been a white Christian - even Jewish-born Benjamin Disraeli was baptised at age Since 1900, every single prime minister, apart from Edward Heath, has been married with children. 9. And since 1900, there have been 22 prime ministers. 10. But 13 of them have come to power without being voted in at a general election.
