As the economic situation worsened MacDonald agreed to form a "<answer>National Government</answer>" with the Conservatives and the Liberals. On 24 August 1931 MacDonald submitted the resignation of his ministers and led a small number of his senior colleagues in forming the <answer>National Government</answer> together with the other parties. This caused great anger among those within the Labour Party who felt betrayed by MacDonald's actions: he and his supporters were promptly expelled from the Labour Party and formed a separate National Labour Organisation. The remaining Labour Party MPs (led again by Arthur Henderson) and a few Liberals went into opposition. The ensuing 1931 general election resulted in overwhelming victory for the <answer>National Government</answer> and disaster for the Labour Party which won only 52 seats, 225 fewer than in 1929.
