	Tutor2u - low voter turnout - a threat to democracy in the uk?
		By 1983, turnout was doen to 72% - and despite an improvement in participation in both 1987 and 1992 (when the closeness of the battle prompted more voters to cast their vote) - the last two general elections has seen a sharp fall in turnout.
		Perceived importance of the election: Turnout tends to be strongest when, at a national level, the election is seen as being of special political significance or when local political issues are of sufficient salience to draw out voters from all parties.
		General elections in particular should be a key moment in the political cycle when voters have political power in their hands.

		MPs sponsored by political parties present their policies to the people in a rather structured and formal way through the election manifestos of their parties.
		Election manifestos are, of course, quoted in the parliament from time to time to make points and counter points in debates and other proceedings.
		Generally, ombudsmen can be concerned with larger issues of morality in public life; their findings do not necessarily have the force of law, while the office could only be as effective as the stature of the office holder.

		He has served as a Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food between 1992 and 1994, Minister of State for the Armed Forces at the Ministry of Defence under John Major between 1994 and 1997 and as the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence 2003-2005.
		Soames, known as a bon viveur (he was once called a "one man food mountain" by Tony Banks, Labour MP) with little appetite for political correctness, clashed with a businessman at a top Chinese restaurant in summer 2004.
		Soames' alleged anti-Semitism and general cultural fogeyism seems to put him at odds with much of the modern Conservative party.

		The MP, who need not live in or near the constituency, or know anything about it, sits in parliament and may debate the issues of the day.
		The UK is split into one hundred constituencies: one for each English county, and one each for Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
		When the election is called, the MPs visit their constituencies: they have just four weeks to persuade the local people that they are worth voting for.

	History of the Labour Party
		With Labour heavily defeated in the 1979 election, the party began a new period of soul-searching.
		Michael Foot, the veteran left-winger, was elected leader but he was hampered by divisions within the party and proved unable to reverse Labour's decline in support.
		Immediately after the election the Tories were wrong-footed by the crisis in sterling and exit from the Exchange Rate Mechanism.

		A 1969 by-election in Mid-Ulster was won by Bernadette Devlin as a Unity candidate; she was the youngest person to be elected to Westminster since the universal franchise.
		The very idea of holding elections as a run-up to multi-party peace talks in 1996 was controversial and is believed by some to have contributed to the resumption of violence by the IRA in February of that year.

	United Kingdom general election, 2001 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UK general election, 2001 was held on 7 June 2001 and was dubbed "the quiet landslide" by the media.
		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 election had been expected in May, to coincide with local elections, but both were postponed because of rural movement restrictions imposed in response to a foot and mouth outbreak.

	David Owen Summary
		In the February 1974 General Election he became Labour MP for the adjacent Plymouth Devonport constituency, winning it from the Tory incumbent Dame Joan Vickers by a slim margin (less than 500 votes).
		The 1987 General Election was as disappointing for the Alliance as the 1983 election and it lost one seat.
		In 1987 immediately after the election, the Liberal leader David Steel openly suggested a full merger of the Liberal and SDP parties and was supported for the SDP by Roy Jenkins, Shirley Williams and Bill Rodgers.

		The Conservatives had tried to organise in the province but have met little success; their strongest showing in the 1997 general election was 6.8% in Antrim East, and they achieved truly derisory votes in the 1998 Assembly elections.
		If the next election were to produce a very close result, the affiliations of Northern Ireland MPs could have implications for the direction of the UK government.
		Anti-Agreement UUP MP Roy Beggs held the seat in 1997, although with only 38.8% of the vote because the Unionist vote was so splintered; the Alliance Party and the Conservatives accounted for over a quarter of the vote between them.

		Then in 1987, conference delegates passed the compulsory short listing rule for women: if a woman is nominated for preselection in a constituency, at least one woman must be on the final short list.
		Despite this large number, opportunities for candidate selection are generally restricted to the number of members retiring and the number of marginal seats won or lost, which is itself dependent on the swing.
		This figure surpassed the figure of 80 Labour women MPs predicted by analysts based on the possibility of a strong swing to Labour.(5) The 10 per cent swing was considerably higher than expected, with the average swing to Labour between 1983 and 1992 being only around 3.5.

	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
		However, it would be foolish not to acknowledge the central place of the 1918 election in determining the future course of Irish history.

		General elections are elections of the whole House of Commons at one time: one Member of Parliament for each constituency in the United Kingdom.
		A parliamentary by-election is held when a seat falls vacant in the House of Commons, because an MP dies, resigns or can no longer be an MP for some other reason, such as being made a member of the House of Lords.
		By tradition, the procedure for initiating a by-election (known as 'moving the writ') is usually initiated by the political party which held the seat before the vacancy.

	Tony Blair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The seat was safely Labour despite the party's collapse in the 1983 UK general election; Blair was helped on the campaign trail by soap actress Patricia Phoenix, the girlfriend of his father-in-law Anthony Booth.
		He worked to produce a more moderate and electable party in the run-up to the 1992 general election, in which he had responsibility for developing the minimum wage policy which was expected to be strongly attacked by the Conservatives.
		The traditional tendency of governments to manipulate interest rates around the time of General Elections for political gain is thought to have been deleterious to the UK economy and helped reinforce a cyclical pattern of boom and bust, for which Blair frequently criticises previous governments.
