'''Sir Edward Heath''', KG, MBE (July 9 1916 - July 17 2005), was the [[Conservative Party|Conservative]] [[Prime Minister]] of the [[United Kingdom]] from 1970 to 1974.

Heath's electoral victory in 1970 was something of a surprise, as the incumbent [[Labour Party]] was comfortably ahead in the polls. Some have attributed the sudden souring of public opinion to [[England]]'s defeat in the soccer [[World Cup]] the week before, or, perhaps more plausibly, to some bad economic figures that emerged during the election campaign.
