		General elections are elections of the whole House of Commons at one time: one Member of Parliament for each constituency in the United Kingdom.
		The election timetable is then halted and starts again from the beginning of the timetable 28 days after proof of death has been received by the returning officer. This new poll is not a by-election, but a delayed poll of the general election.

	General Election odds & betting
		However they do not have to run for the whole five years, and a general election may be held before this period is up.
		Other reasons for calling early elections can be to seek support from the general public for difficult changes or to get more time knowing that items going onto the statutes books will possibly make the Government unpopular before the full time would have elapsed.
		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.

	Trevor Pateman: Television and the 1974 General Election
		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.
		For on Election Night the personalities identified with the news and current affairs organisations of the BBC and the ITV are stars of a programme which is unquestionably and transparently reliable as to the information it is transmitting.

		As well as two elections there was the three-day week, corruption scandals, shadowy plots against the prime minister, a financial crisis, IRA bombings in England and a general strike in Northern Ireland.
		Perhaps 1974 was, in hindsight, a good election for the Conservatives to lose and an unlucky victory for Labour.
		However, the most lasting legacy of the 1974 elections has been the eclipse of the two-party system; since then, voters disenchanted with either of the major parties do not necessarily flock to the arms of the principal opposition.

		The election of October 1974 was the second general election fought in the space of eight months.
		This election was the fourth fought with Wilson and Heath as the leaders of the main parties; as such it failed to inspire the public.

		Lincoln was held by Labour continuously from 1945 until 1973 when MP Dick Taverne resigned from the party and fought the seat in a by-election as a 'Democratic Labour' candidate.
		Taverne duly won the by-election and narrowly held on in February 1974 against the official Labour party candidate, but then lost by under 1,000 to Margaret Jackson, now Margaret Beckett, in October 1974.
		Labour even managed to top the poll in the Euro elections, a rarity for a seat gained in 1997 and a result which suggests that this constituency may have finally returned to its pre-1973 status as a reasonably secure Labour seat.

		This was also the first Westminster election fought after the introduction of the 1970 boundaries, and the first where 18-year-olds had the right to vote.

	The October War and U.S. Policy
		On 12 October, when the airlift decisions were being made, Kissinger told Schlesinger that the situation in Israel was "near disaster" and that it was due to "massive sabotage" by the Pentagon.
		The story of the October War and its background is a complex one that is necessarily simplified in the commentary on the documents selected for this briefing book.
		To his staff, Kissinger justified this move as part of his diplomatic strategy: having failed to win Egyptian support for a cease-fire resolution at the United Nations, it was necessary to prolong the fighting to create a "situation in which [the Arabs] would have to ask for a cease-fire rather than we." [See Document 63].

		In September 1974 Mr Wilson was prompted to call the second general election in eight months to secure his mandate to govern.
		By autumn 1974 polls predicted a Labour lead of between five and 10 per cent, but in the event the result was a lot closer, with an electorate fatigued, perhaps, by the fourth big ballot box battle between Messrs Heath and Wilson.
		This election also fielded more candidates who were women, Liberals, Scottish and Welsh nationalists and National Front members than ever before.
