1. Politics of Muslim league was increasingly separatist after 1937 elections. The debacle of the Muslim league in this election played an important role. Only 10 to 12% population had the right to vote. The Muslim League fared badly.

2. League was failed to win a single seat in NWFP. It captured 2 out of 84 reserved constituencies in Punjab, and 3 out of 33 in Sind. It polled only 4.4% of total Muslim vote. 

3. The Congress won absolute majority in five out of eleven provinces forming governments in them. This debacle led the Muslim League to adopt a new line of politics to create a mass base.

4. Congress rejected League’s offer to make government in united Provinces jointly where Congress had won an absolute majority and convinced it that if India stayed united then Muslims would find difficult to gain political power.

5. League to be recognised as sole spokesman of Muslims, could not retain the ground as the elections reflected the social base of the League was fairly weak.

6. Muslim League organised and mobilised the masses giving a new aim-a separatist state by adopting the Pakistan Resolution on March 23, 1940.

7. These elections generated force in the demand for Pakistan because they led to the Muslim League to adopt new segment of politics; politicisation of the Muslim masses. The base of the League expanded after the result of election of 1945-46.

8. The Muslim league became a political power and pressurized the Congress and the British. The demand was a mere bargaining strategy. It was the elections of 1937 that led to the urgency to be the cause of such a demand.
