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 generally affairs in which public opinion changes gradually from general election from election.

 The Restoration Superiors General - VincentWiki
The pope therefore named Dewailly as “superior general of the entire Congregation of the Mission,” receiving all the faculties, honors, prerogatives, and rights of that office by apostolic authority, that is, not directly through an election held in a general assembly.

Etienne’s comment on the election was that “the spirit which had inspired it was not from God.” For reasons known only to him, he falsely reported the number of votes, saying that the margin of victory was only one vote.
