Even at the party’s first election in 1835, when it was led by Sir Robert Peel, the Conservatives burst onto the scene with 273 seats. Only five times in its history has the party won fewer than 200 seats at a General Election. That was in 2005, 2001, 1997, 1945 and 1906.The result in the 1906 was 156 seats for the Conservatives, which is the currently low-water mark for the party.
