	United Kingdom general election, 1945 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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 United Kingdom general election of 2005 was held on Thursday, 5 May, 2005 and won by the Labour Party, led by Tony Blair.
		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.

		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.

		I have analysed the voting results of the General Election and implemented an Election Lottery where each vote serves as a lottery ticket with the preferred candidate's name on it.
		Thus serving MPs are the most likely candidates in their constituency to be returned by the election as they have attracted the most votes.
		An Election Lottery achieves this Proportional Representation, while tying the selection of every candidate firmly to the electorates in his or her constituency, thus avoiding any charges of cronyism.

	The Irish General Election of 1918
		The December 1918 election for the House of Commons in Westminster is regarded by some as the defining act of Irish self-determination, as the last occasion when the whole of Ireland voted on the same day.
		European Parliament election of 1994 (in fact since a number of constituencies were not contested in 1918, 1994 is a rather better barometer of the opinion of the island as a whole), and the last time the island voted on the same day for anything at all was in

	Make Votes Count - General Election Briefing
		Voting reform has always suffered from the tendency of MPs of the governing party, elected by the existing first-past-the-post system, to be less critical of its faults than candidates excluded by the same system.
		He strongly believed that the people should be allowed to decide how their MPs are elected and proposed that a referendum should be held on the voting system for Westminster.
		The first-past-the-post campaign, generously resourced and funded by the AEEU union, tried to flood the LP membership consultation on the AV+ proposal with hostile pre-printed postcards, in an attempt to get the LP national policy forum to drop the referendum pledge and commit the Party to first-past-the-post.

		In 1994 the UK lost 300,000 working days through strikes, the lowest figure ever recorded; in 1979 the figure was 29,500,000: nearly 100 times that figure.
		Since 1979 we have created a rich diversity of schools, to serve the varied talents of all children and give parents choice within that diversity, because we believe that parents know what is best for their children.
		Or they can elect to take a huge risk with that future - the future of themselves, their children, their nation - by handing over the government of the country to politicians who have fought, opposed and denigrated every step that has been taken to restore Britain's economic health and standing in the world.

		She was the first leader since Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool to win three successive elections although this has since been matched by Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.
		The Conservative government had survived the industrial disputes with mine workers (1984–85) and print unions (1985–86), the 1986 Westland problems had been put aside with the loss of Michael Heseltine and Leon Brittan and the economy was performing well.

		The only instance when the Speaker was not of the governing party since World War II was in 1992, when Labour MP Betty Boothroyd was Speaker.
