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.

 Marxist Bulletin: Labour, the SLP and the Election
Socialist Labour’s election campaign, standing over 60 candidates against New Labour, was an important and courageous stand for the working class, against this burial of class politics in a welter of ‘national reconciliation’.
The election programme of the Socialist Party was in many respects similar to the Socialist Labour manifesto, and certainly deserved the vote of Socialist Labour members who were not able to vote for one of our own candidates.
Despite the flaws of a first election campaign, the SLP is still in a potentially good position to take advantage of inevitable disillusionment with New Labour, providing we reverse the tendency towards paranoia and bureaucratism that the leadership has exhibited in the past year.
