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.

 Parliament of the United Kingdom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
While the House of Commons is directly elected by universal adult suffrage on average every four to five years, the House of Lords is made up largely of appointed members, along with Bishops of the Church of England, the Law Lords and a small number of hereditary peers elected by members of the hereditary peerage.
While any MP or peer can introduce a Bill, in reality most Bills are introduced by Ministers of the Crown (ie members of the cabinet) with regard to areas that are the responsibility of their government department.
Since many governing party MP's are employed within the government, then they form part of the so-called payroll vote and are reluctant to oppose the government in the divisions (when the MP's divide to enter the voting booths to cast their votes).

But peers of Scotland and Ireland were entitled to elect representative peers from amongst their number.
However this is always done on the advice (instruction) of Her Majesty's Government, which as it is answerable to parliament does parliament's wishes, or at least does not ignore the view of parliament, though parliament itself is not consulted.

 The UK Election
For example, when I was in England in late April, one of the Conservative MPs grabbed the front pages with a diatribe about how the British, due to immigration, are being turned into ‘a mongrel race’.
Therein lies the reason for the result of the British election – the political centre is doing well, and the alternative has retreated to the political fringes.
Please note that the same situation existed in the 1980s, but in reverse – Margaret Thatcher’s Conservatives grabbed the centre that was disgusted with the paralysis of the UK at the hands of the unions, creating prosperity and pushing Labour to the left-extreme.

Amongst Scottish electors, for example, in the 1997 general election 60 per cent of 18 to 24 year olds voted, amongst the 60 to 64 grouping 90 (Scottish Election Survey quoted Paterson et al, 2001).
One UK study found 51 per cent of young people categorically had ‘no interest in politics’; far more so than over 25s (Pirie and Worcester, 2000:12; Harrison and Deicke, 2001).
Likewise in Wales and England (Willow, 1997: Treseder and Crowley, 2001; Wade, Lawton and Stevenson, 2001).

Since he had not been elected by the people, Suskievic was in a weak position, dependent on a parliament which was the most conservative one of the three Slavic CIS states.
The result of the elections was a major surprise not only for the West: the second ballot on July 10, 1994 showed the populist Aliaksandr Lukasenka (Lukashenka) as the clear winner with an overwhelming majority of 81.7% of the vote.
As the parliamentary by-elections (in those constituencies where the turnout had been lower than 50%) move closer, the president and his supporters step up their criticism of the Constitutional Court, which had declared several presidential decrees unconstitutional (such as the decree banning the metro workers union and lifting deputies' parliamentary immunity).
