		Generally speaking, grassroots Labour voters are considerably to the left of Tony Blair and his followers in the political apparatus and government.
		The ensuing general election saw the publication, four days before polling day, of the infamous Zinoviev Letter that implicated Labour in a plot for a Communist revolution in Britain, and the Conservatives were returned to power.
		At the 1987 general election, the party was again defeated in a landslide, but had at least established itself as the clear challengers to the Conservatives, and had not been relegated to third place by the Liberal Democrat/SDP coalition, as some had feared.

		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 region'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.

		Female membership of the House of Lords and among UK members of the European parliament is also up slightly, but the proportion of women MPs remained static at 18% - below the European average of 20%, and, the EOC report predicts, at risk of falling at the next general election.
		In media and culture, female representation jumped from 10% to 15%, though that is primarily down to the appointment of one female boss and the departure of one man.
