Former Prime Minister

James Harold Wilson, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx, KG, OBE, FRS, PC (11 March 1916 - 24 May 1995) was one of the most prominent British politicians of the 20th century. He emerged as Prime Minister after more General Elections than any other 20th century Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with majorities of 4 in 1964, 98 in 1966 and 5 in October 1974, and with enough seats to form a minority government in February 1974. He is the most recent British Prime Minister to serve non-consecutive terms.
