The UK general election, 2001 was held on 7 June 2001 and was dubbed "the quiet landslide" by the media.
The elections were marked by apathy from the voting public, with turnout falling by to 59%, the lowest since 1918.
The election had been expected in May, to coincide with local elections, but both were postponed because of rural movement restrictions imposed in response to a foot and mouth outbreak.

 Hawaiian Kingdom - Blount's Report, July 17, 1893
In the election for the legislature of 1880 it is alleged that by the use of gin, chiefly furnished by the King, and by the use of his patronage, it was carried against the reform party; that out of twenty-eight candidates, twenty-six were office-holders—one a tax assessor and one the Queen’s secretary.
The general belief that the king had accepted what is termed the opium bribe and the failure of his efforts to unite the Samoan Islands with his own Kingdom had a depressing influence on his friends, and his opponents used it with all the effect they could.
At the first election held under this Constitution, the nobles shall be elected to serve until the general election to the legislature for the year of our Lord 1890, at which election, and thereafter, the nobles shall be elected at the same time and places as the representatives.

 United Kingdom general election, 2005 information - Search.com
The United Kingdom general election of 2005 was held on Thursday, 5 May, 2005 and won by the Labour Party, led by Tony Blair.
In Northern Ireland, the election was dominated in the unionist community by a battle between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to be the region's largest unionist party in Parliament.
Other elections in the province have shown both a shift in votes towards the DUP but also a collapse of support for the cross-community Alliance Party which is likely to be more marked in a first past the post election and thus which may work in the UUP's favour.

 Westminster Elections in the future Northern Ireland, 1885-1910
While an analysis of each election across the whole of Ireland (and indeed the whole of the United Kingdom) would be very interesting, here I have decided to focus on the more manageable topic of the election results in the six counties of Ulster which became Northern Ireland in 1920.
In a 1913 by-election the Liberals beat the Unionists by 57 votes; they were then unopposed in a 1914 by-election after their new MP died.
Nationalists were the narrow losers in 1885, 1886, 1892 and 1900; Liberals likewise in 1910; the seat was unopposed in a 1903 by-election and in 1906.

The Kingdom led a precarious existence at best, and was notable inasmuch as it's rulers converted to Judaism; several are buried in Jerusalem.
Far more likely scenarios that have been proposed are that they are remnants of Jewish military colonists at Elephantine, in Egypt, who moved south and intermarried with Ethiopian tribes; or, alternatively, that they are descendents of exiled tribes who left Judea during the Babylonian or even Assyrian conquests.
Ultimately the Muslims were successful however, but their punitively harsh attitudes toward the Berbers in general resulted in North Africa being a hotbed of religious heterodoxy and outright schism for centuries - the Fatamid Caliphs are probably the best-known example.

Following the defeat of the Labour Government in the General Election, Baldwin was asked to form his second administration and became Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury on 4 Nov 1924.
At the General Strike of 1926, he held a firm conservative line while leaving action to his Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill and others.
The General Election of 30 May 1929 over the issues of unemployment and the Trade Disputes Act made the balance of power dependent on the Liberals (Labour 287, Conservative 260, Liberal 59, others 9) and Baldwin resigned on 5 Jun 1929.

 Home Rule, Irish - ninemsn Encarta
At the 1885 General Election the Irish Parliamentary party led by Parnell secured 86 seats and supported William Gladstone's liberal government who introduced the First Home Rule bill.
A Second Home Rule bill was introduced by Gladstone in 1892, and though successful in the House of Commons it was rejected by the unionist-dominated House of Lords.
Consequently, the revolutionary Sinn Féin movement which the rebellion inspired became a mass popular movement against British rule and undermined the constitutional politics of the Irish Parliamentary party which was practically wiped out in the 1918 General Election.
