	United Kingdom general elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		United Kingdom general elections are the times when the Members of Parliament forming the House of Commons are elected.
		Since the maximum term of a parliament is five years, the interval between successive general elections can exceed that period by no more than the combined length of the election campaign and time for the new parliament to assemble (typically five to eight weeks).
		In the UK general elections are generally affairs in which public opinion changes gradually from general election from election.

		The British general election of 1945 held on July 5th 1945 but not counted and declared until July 26 1945 (due to the time it took to transport the votes of those serving overseas) was one of the most significant general elections of the 20th century.
		Held just months after VE Day, it was the first general election to be held since 1935, as general elections had been suspended during World War II.
		It resulted in the shock election defeat of the Conservatives led by Winston Churchill and the landslide victory of the Labour Party led by Clement Attlee, who won a majority of 145 seats.

		The aftermath of the election defeat in 1979 provoked a period of bitter internal rivalry in Labour.
		The election of Foot to the leadership (where he proved an electoral disaster) led in March 1981 to the formation of a breakaway group, the Social Democratic Party, under the Gang of Four: new SDP leader and former Labour deputy leader Roy Jenkins, and former senior ministers David Owen, Shirley Williams and William Rodgers.
		From 1922 until 1970 the leader was formally "Leader of the Labour Party" and "Chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party".

	1922 Committee - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In British politics, the 1922 Committee consists of all backbench Conservative Members of Parliament, though when the party is in opposition, frontbench MPs other than the party leader may also attend its meetings.
		The 1922 Committee has a 12-member executive committee, the chairman of which must oversee any election of a new party leader, or any vote of confidence for the current one; such a vote can be triggered by 15 percent of Tory MPs writing a letter to the chairman asking for such a vote.
		Many new Conservative MPs (enough for an overall majority) were elected in the general election that this act triggered, and they formed the 1922 Committee but the founder MPs were not the ones who had taken the decision to break up the coalition government.

		The maximum parliamentary term is four years and elections are always held almost four your after the previous one.
		Two weeks before the election all voters receive a card in which they are called to vote (this card is the evidence that one is a registered voter and it must be handed in in order to vote).

		The UK general election held on 14th November 1935 resulted in a large, though reduced, majority for the National Government now led by Stanley Baldwin.
		Labour, under what was internally regarded as the caretaker leadership of Clement Attlee, made large gains over their very poor position in the 1931 general election, but the Liberals lost further ground.
		The major election issues were the continuing unemployment problems and the role of the League of Nations, particularly as regarded Japan.

	Neville Chamberlain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Embittered by his failure, Chamberlain decided to stand in the next general election, when he was successfully elected for the first time at the age of 49–by far the oldest age for any future Prime Minister entering Parliament to date.
		In the 1929 general election, Chamberlain changed his constituency from Ladywood to Edgbaston and held it easily, but the Conservative Party lost the election and entered a period of internal conflict.
		Had peace continued and a general election been fought in 1939 or 1940, it seems likely that the government would have sought to radically extend the provision of pensions and health insurance while introducing family allowances.

		After his election, he became Labour's chief whip, only to lose his seat in the 1922 general election.

		The UK general election, 2001 was held on 7 June 2001 and was dubbed "the quiet landslide" by the media.
		The elections were also marked by apathy from the voting public, turnout being only 59%, the lowest since 1918.
		Throughout the election the Labour party had maintained a significant lead in the opinion polls and the result was deemed to be so certain that some bookmakers paid out for a Labour majority before the election day.

		The date of the next general election is not fixed, but the next election must be held on or before June 3, 2010.
		In Northern Ireland, the election was dominated in the Unionist community by a battle between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to be the province's largest Unionist party in Parliament.
		Other elections in the province have shown both a shift in votes towards the DUP but also a collapse of support for the cross-community Alliance Party which is likely to be more marked in a first past the post election and thus which may work in the UUP's favour.

		During this period the party also occasionally stood for election in Northern Ireland, on occasion winning the odd seat at both the Westminster Parliament and Stormont Parliament in the Belfast area.
		However the party is not known to have contested an election in the province since Gerry Fitt, then the party's sole Stormont MP, left the party to form the Republican Labour Party in 1964, though the Democratic Left and its forbearer parties have contested elections in the north more recently.
