	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.
		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.

		The 1847 UK general election saw candidates calling themselves Conservatives win the most seats, in part because they won a number of uncontested seats.
		However, the split among the Conservatives between Protectionists led by the Earl of Derby and free traders led by Sir Robert Peel left the Whigs, led by Prime Minister Lord John Russell, in a position to continue in government.
		The Irish Repeal group won more seats than in the previous general election, while the Chartists gained the only seat they were ever to hold (Fergus O'Connor).

		United Kingdom general elections are the times when the Members of Parliament forming the House of Commons are elected.
		Since the maximum term of a parliament is five years, the interval between successive general elections can exceed that period by no more than the combined length of the election campaign and time for the new parliament to assemble (typically five to eight weeks).
		In the UK general elections are usually affairs in which public opinion changes gradually from general election from election.

		The franchise in parliamentary elections for county constituencies was uniform throughout the country, extending to all those who owned the freehold of land to an annual rent of 40 shillings (Forty-shilling Freeholders).
		At general elections the vote was restricted to landed gentry, in constituencies which were out of date so that in many rotten boroughs seats could be bought while major cities remained unrepresented.
		As the frequent elections were deemed inconvenient, the Septennial Act 1716 extended the maximum duration to seven years, but the Parliament Act 1911 reduced it to five years.
