 United Kingdom general election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Fifty Years of Bias in the UK's Electoral System
With virtually the same share of the votes at four successive elections the Conservatives won very different shares of the seats, and then when Labour won with the same vote percentage its share of the seats was larger than the Conservatives ever achieved.
This can result in biased election outcomes, even if the production of the second set of maps is vouchsafed to an independent body, whereas the geography of election campaigning can produce the reactive malapportionment we identified as a major feature of recent British elections.
The generation of such biases is clearly not peculiar to the UK, but it has only been studied there and in New Zealand (Johnston, 1977).

 Cambodian History Part IV
The pliancy of the younger generation made them, in the Angkar's words, the "dictatorial instrument of the party." In 1962 the communists had created a special secret organization, the Alliance of Democratic Khmer Youth, that, in the early 1970s, changed its name to the Alliance of Communist Youth of Kampuchea.
In its general contours, Democratic Kampuchea's economic policy was similar to, and possibly inspired by, China's radical Great Leap Forward that carried out immediate collectivization of the Chinese countryside in 1958.
Vietnamese defense minister General Vo Nguyen Giap underestimated the tenacity of the Khmer Rouge, however, and was obliged to commit an additional 58,000 reinforcements in December.
