		The general election of 1979 was to prove a political watershed.
		The Labour government that came to power in 1974 (as a minority administration from February and with a wafer thin majority from October) faced difficult economic circumstances, with inflation and unemployment both running at post-war record levels.
		The immediate reasons were a by-election defeat, the defection of two of Callaghan's backbenchers to form a new 'Scottish Labour Party' and the defection of the maverick John Stonehouse.

		The General Election is very popular with punters who can wager with bets on the overall result or individual results by constituency, though sometimes the odds are not very attractive.

	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.

		First, the General Election campaign as the creation of organised political parties is made to exist by them in ways dictated by the presence of the mass media in general and television in particular.
		Thus, in general news coverage everything possible is done to reduce ambiguity in presentation and the possibilities of misunderstanding, for example, by the presentation of as much information as possible in both verbal and visual form, with speakers and film material all clearly labelled.
