	United Kingdom general election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).
		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.
		The results were interpreted by the UK media as an indicator of a breakdown in trust in the government, and in Prime Minister Tony Blair in particular.

	Postwar Blues
		Although victorious, Labour in 1950, 1964 and February 1974 were forced to muddle through on slim majorities and call early elections in 1951, 1966 and October 1974, in the first of which they were defeated in the next two they did manage to increase their majority.
		In this election and in future ones, the Tories, particularly in the cold war period of the 50s, 60s and 70s, were perceived to be much the stronger party on defence.
		However, it does say something for the British public's consciousness of the importance of general elections that the total electoral turnout was 77.7 per cent; it stands as the fifth highest turn-out of the 14 general elections since the end of the war in Europe in May 1945.

	News & Analysis: Blair's Bloody Nose: Britain's General Election And The Power Of The Anti-War Vote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		One week after the British General Election, the dust is settling, and it is clear that the war on Iraq was a major factor in the Labour Party's humbling loss of seats and votes.
		It is a peculiarity of the British 'first past the post' system of elections that the Labour Party received only 3 per cent more of the vote than the runner-up in the election, the Conservatives (35.2 to 32.3 per cent), but received nearly twice as many seats as them (355 to 197).
		However, during the election campaign, commentators (and Labour politicians) asserted constantly that the war on Iraq was a fringe issue with little significance for the election.

		First, under FPTP, the UK is divided into a number of constituencies (651 in 1992; this is set to rise to 659 after boundary revisions), each electing one MP.
		In the 1992 British general election as a whole, 40 per cent of MPs were elected without having an overall majority of the votes in their constituency.
		Here we see that the most striking results were in the two 1974 elections when almost two-thirds of MPs were elected with less than half the total vote in their constituencies.
