	United Kingdom general election, 1992 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UK general election, 1992 was held on April 9, 1992, and was the fourth victory in a row for the Conservatives.
		Given that the 1992 election resulted in a Conservative overall majority of 21, it has been stated that their victory could be said to have been decided by only 1,241 votes distributed through the 11 seats with the smallest Conservative majorities in the election.
		In the end though the SNP only held onto the three seats they won at the 1987 General Election and lost the Govan seat that they had won in 1988 with their deputy leader Jim Sillars as candidate.

	United Kingdom general election, 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both major parties had changed leaders in 1963: after the sudden death of Hugh Gaitskell, Labour chose Harold Wilson (who was then thought of as being on the party's centre left), and the Conservatives had unexpectedly chosen Alec Douglas-Home as their new leader after Harold Macmillan announced his resignation.
		The election resulted in a very slim majority for the Labour Party, of five seats, and led to their first government since 1951.
		The majority was not sustainable for a full Parliament and there had to be another general election in 1966.

		The United Kingdom general election of 1964 result was a very slim majority for the Labour Party, of four seats, and led to their first government since 1951.
		The Labour victory was largely due to the increased vote for the Liberals from 5.9% in 1959 to 11.2% which came at the expense of the Conservatives, rather than an increase in the vote for Labour, which was less than its 1959 total.

		In the run-up to the 1964 general election, 51% of Labour voters said they identified "very strongly" with their party.
		The ICM survey suggests that the turnout could be even lower than the 59% recorded at the 2001 general election, since only 50% of the registered voters say they are "10 out of 10" certain to vote.

	OFF THE TELLY: Factual/Election Television/Good Morning Prime Minister
		During the 1951 election, however, average audiences for radio broadcasts fell, and not just because, as political academic David Butler wrote at the time, "far more people are away from their firesides in a clement October than in a less temperate February".
		The next General Election, in February 1974, was called during an energy crisis that had meant all British television had been closing down at 10.30pm.
		Maybe a closer election, with a smaller majority held by the party in government, would help, but the general cynicism of the public seems to have got through to the broadcasters this year.

		Perhaps the real fight it had undertaken at this election was for second place against the Alliance rather than against the government - and this at least was a fight it could say it was winning.

		The purposes of the British Election Study are: (1) to study long-term trends in British voting behaviour; (2) to explain the election outcome; (3) to explain party choice; (4) to explain turnout; and (5) to examine the consequences of elections for the operation of democracy more generally.
		The 2005 BES retains all key questions that are part of long-run series since 1964, the long-standing questions on ideology, economic perceptions and issue positions that were introduced after 1979, as well as questions added in 2001 to explain turnout and to explore attitudes towards elections, parties, and the democratic process.
		In a 'first of its kind' experiment in a national election study, the BES is conducting a survey mode comparisons between face-to-face and internet surveys.
