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.

Perhaps part of the problem was that he was not perceived as a leader who could win an election but rather as a caretaker figure whose general popularity might have enabled him to unite the party before handing over the mantle to younger hands.
It was 1970, the year Edward Heath became prime minister, that Mr Ancram contested his first parliamentary election - in West Lothian.
He was defeated in the October 1974 election and that loss prompted the first of three changes in seat for Mr Ancram.
