General elections in 1935 are important not only because they were the last elections held in the United Kingdom before the war, but also because the results formed the British foreign policy in the second half of the 1930s. The major election campaign issues, apart from the continuing unemployment problems, were the foreign policy questions: role of the League of Nations and Italy's aggression in Abyssinia.
The main aim of this article is to analyse the role of pacifism in the elections and to find out to what extend were the election campaign and the time of the elections affected by the public opinion and pacifism.
