 | | Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian, but a coup in May 2000 ushered in a prolonged period of political turmoil. | | | Parliamentary elections held in August 2001 provided Fiji with a democratically elected government and gave a mandate to the government of Prime Minister Laisenia QARASE. | | | Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996 and 2002 presidential elections - as well as the 1999 legislative elections - were widely seen as being flawed. |

| | The formal name is a vestige from the 1912 merger with the Liberal Unionist Party, and an echo of the party's defence (1886-1921) of the Union of Great Britain and Ireland and subsequent insistence on British sovereignty in Northern Ireland in opposition to Irish nationalist and republican aspirations. | | | Since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party under Tony Blair, they have been in opposition. | | | In 1903-1905, following Salisbury's resignation in favor of his nephew, Arthur Balfour, internal disputes over Liberal Unionist Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain's advocacy of imperial preference tariffs led to a severe defeat to the Liberals in the General Election of 1906. |

| | This means that national elections must be held no later than 5 years after the date of the previous election. | | | The last election was held on 7th June 2001 and therefore the next election need not be held before June 2006. | | | In most parliaments, public opinion can be assessed from Parliamentary by-elections (elections in a single constituency to fill a seat which has fallen vacant). |

| | On the eve of the dissolution I take the liberty of recalling to your minds the considerations which, in my judgement, should weigh with you in the exercise of your rights as voters during the next few weeks. | | | On the fate of these questions the election that is pending will have left no trace; and the abstention of the abstaining elector will have been without effect. | | | This counsel seems a truism; but it is nevertheless tolerably evident that, if the elections fail to produce a Parliament fitted to deal with the emergency of the time, it can only be because the truism is neglected. |
