	Election Resources on the Internet: Parliamentary Elections in the U.K. - Elections to the House of Commons
		The United Kingdom Parliament is composed of the Crown, that is the monarch, the House of Lords, an appointive and hereditary upper chamber, and the popularly elected lower chamber, the House of Commons.
		For general election purposes, the United Kingdom is currently divided into 646 constituencies, each of which returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons, elected for a maximum term of five years.
		As a result, the average number of electors per constituency for the 2001 election was 67,380, but the individual constituencies ranged from a low of 21,706 electors in the Western Isles (in Scotland's north-western coast) to a high of 104,431 in the Isle of Wight (located off the coast of southern England).

		General elections are elections of the whole House of Commons at one time: one Member of Parliament for each constituency in the United Kingdom.
		The election timetable is then halted and starts again from the beginning of the timetable 28 days after proof of death has been received by the returning officer. This new poll is not a by-election, but a delayed poll of the general election.

		The British general election in May was by and large reckoned to be on the dull side.
		The main cause of some of the dullness and most of the confusion was that both the main parties tended to fight the election on the state of public services in which Whitehall and Westminster have shed their Scottish responsibilities.
		And that may be inevitable while the Westminster Parliament is both the legislature for United Kingdom matters (such as social security and immigration as well as defence and foreign policy) and for purely English questions.
