	UK Parliament - elections
		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.

	Politics - Review - For electoral reform in UK general elections, AV+ (confused, well read on)
		But the system that would provide the most effective change to electoral reform is the AV (alternative vote) electoral system, which represents the policies: the requirement for broad proportionality, the need for stable government, an extension of voter choice and the maintenance of a link between MPs and geographical constituencies.
		Evidence of this for the Labour is that the Labour has always found it difficult to gather a majority excluding the last two general elections and this would not be the case with the AV+ system.
		In conclusion if the AV+ system was to be implemented into the UK electoral system, I think it would benefit everyone including the general public and the parties up for election.
