	United Kingdom general election, 1923 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UK general election of 1923 was held on 5th December 1923.
		As the election had been fought on the Conservative proposals for tariff reform it was inevitable that they could not retain office and so the first ever Labour government was formed.
		Being in a minority it only lasted 10 months and another election was held in 1924.

		In Northern Ireland, the election was dominated in the Unionist community by a battle between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to be the province's largest Unionist party in Parliament.
		Other elections in the province have shown both a shift in votes towards the DUP but also a collapse of support for the cross-community Alliance Party which is likely to be more marked in a first past the post election and thus which may work in the UUP's favour.
		The results were interpreted by the UK media as an indicator of a breakdown in trust in the government, and in the prime minister, Tony Blair, in particular.

		The UK general election, 2001 was held on 7 June 2001 and was dubbed "the quiet landslide" by the media.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Parliamentary Elections in the U.K. - Elections to the House of Commons
		For general election purposes, the United Kingdom is currently divided into 646 constituencies, each of which returns one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons, elected for a maximum term of five years.
		It proved to be of no avail: the 1997 general election brought eighteen years of Conservative government to an end, and a rejuvenated Labour Party, running on a distinctly centrist platform under the leadership of Tony Blair, was returned to power in a landslide victory.
		The outcome of a general election is actually decided in these seats, and political parties concentrate their efforts in retaining their own marginals, and capturing those held by their opponents.

		Gone were the courts-baron, courts-leet, vestries, out-hundred courts, courts of election, courts of record, courts of the borough, courts of orders and degrees, courts of investigation, courts of ordination and views of frank-pledge...
