The Labour party got back to power under prime minister Harold Wilson in 1974, but Harold Wilson became ill and James Callaghan took over.
Yet even the Labour Party could not control the unions' demands for more and more money for less and less work.
Things came to a head in the winter of 1978-9 (now called the Winter of Discontent) when even grave diggers went on strike and rubbish piled up on the streets. It led to Labour becoming unpopular.
