LF won the most seats.LF impressed many people due to their strong anti-colonial stand.

One of the things LF did:
Charismatic leader David Marshall would go around in a van with a speaker and voice out their ideas.
He also held speeches and made sure when he talked about anti-colonial rule he made sure that the British at a nearby cricket club could hear him.
