The English general election of 1993 was held on May 1, 1993 as mandated by the Constitution of England. The election saw the Conservative Party, led by John Cleese, lose 22 seats, which did little of significance to dent their commanding majority in Parliament. The Labour Party, led by Roger Brady, increased its representation to 120 seats from their prior share (98 seats), which Brady referred to as "our little pyrrhic victory."
