	Irish (UK) general election, 1918 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish general election of 1918 was that part of the 1918 United Kingdom general election that took place in Ireland.
		Indeed the 1918 general election has become a potent symbol for militant republicans who have argued that the elections conferred legitimacy both on the anti-Treaty faction in the Irish Civil War of 1922–1923 and on the violent campaigns of later groups such as the Provisional IRA that erupted many decades later.
		Although the 1918 general election was the last held throughout the whole of Ireland on a single day, in every election held since 1921 candidates advocating violent resistance to the partition of Ireland have fallen far short of winning a majority in either part of Ireland.

		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.

		In other words, the 2001 election was a big yawn, as massive a turn off as it was a foregone conclusion.
		Against this background of election fatigue and distrust of spin, it was going to tax the resources of the parties and the media to make it compelling.
		How anyone with a trace of judgement can hail the election as the sign of a rising new opposition party when the Liberal advance was largely secured with the aid of tactical Labour voting is beyond me. But the press accurately, divined Charles Kennedy's forthcoming success in terms of seats.

	MORI - Launch Of Attitudes Surveys On The 2001 General Election Campaign
		Research by the MORI Social Research Institute/Electoral Commission on public attitudes in the 2001 general election shows interest in politics has remained stable over the past three decades: people are no more 'turned-off' by politics than they were in the past.
		The surveys were designed to gauge public attitudes towards voting, elections and the political process to inform the Commission's report on the 2001 general election.
		The 2001 election did not connect with people and made them view it differently to previous ones: 26% of those who in Phase 1 disagreed that "voting does not make much of a difference", agreed that this time they "did not believe that voting would make much of a difference".

		The public was sceptical about the need for an election: many disagreed with its timing in the context of an epidemic of foot and mouth disease.
		Dan Damon argues that “for broadcasters this was the first interactive election” which brought many political communication innovations in its wake, while John Downey suggests that politicians and the public failed to share broadcasters’ enthusiasm for the new medium and that “the Internet played a bit part in the 2001 General Election”.

		In other words, a significant proportion of those who are positive about the efficacy of voting in general, were negative about it at this election: that is to say the 2001 general election was viewed differently to the 'norm'.
		Non-voters are also more likely than the full sample to think that the election was fought negatively (with the 'parties pointing out what was wrong with the policies and personalities in other parties') than it was fought positively (with the 'parties putting forward their own policies and personalities').
		They are also thought to have had minimal influence on what people decided to do on election day; 77% say broadcasts had 'not very much' influence or 'none at all', similar to 1997 (74%) and significantly higher than equivalent figures for election coverage on television (50%) and in the newspapers (61%).
