		The United Kingdom general election of 1964 result was a very slim majority for the Labour Party, of four seats, and led to their first government since 1951.
		The Labour victory was largely due to the increased vote for the Liberals from 5.9% in 1959 to 11.2% which came at the expense of the Conservatives, rather than an increase in the vote for Labour, which was less than its 1959 total.
		The majority was unworkable and there had to be another general election in 1966.

		Beyond the UK general election we also need to ensure that the UK Government does all it can to push for the policies and international actions that are required at the global level if we are to achieve a sustainable future for all.

		In 1992, the opinion polls, which had normally predicted election results fairly accurately, were not just wrong but spectacularly so.
		The five main UK polls published on the morning of the general election predicted a Labour lead of 0.8 %, which would have ensured a hung parliament with Labour as the largest party.
		The election result demonstrated that the final opinion polls were more than 8 % adrift of reality.

		Maybe, but one has to allow for the tendency for people not to say that have voted for a given candidate due to their desire not to be identified as a supporter, this is given as one of the reasons why exit polls are not very reliable.
		The UK general election of 1992 was a case in point IIRC, or maybe it was the one before that (1988?).
		I also doubt that there is any chance of the US election vote being re-checked even if there is the information to do it.

		Apart from West Belfast - the SDLP's fourth gain in four elections - the main interest in Northern Ireland was in the performance of the Conservative Party, fighting eleven Northern Ireland seats for the first time in a general election since their split with the Unionists in 1972.
		Their failure to break through in this election was decisive and the bubble was burst by their setback in the 1993 local elections.
		Shortly before the election, the Workers Party had suffered a split when a reform faction who wished to distance themselves further from the paramilitarism and revolutionary socialism of the past walked out of their party conference, having just failed to gain the two-thirds majority they required.
