| | The UK general election of February 1974 was held on February 28, 1974. | | | It was the first of two United Kingdom general elections held that year, and the only election since the Second World War not to produce an overall majority in the House of Commons for the winning party, instead producing a hung parliament. | | | This election saw Northern Ireland diverging heavily from the rest of the UK, with all twelve MPs elected being from local parties, following the decision of the Ulster Unionists to withdraw support from the Conservative Party in protest over the Sunningdale Agreement. |

| | elections Houses of Parliament |
| | General elections are held at least every five years. | | | A parliamentary by-election is held when a seat falls vacant in the House of Commons, because an MP dies, resigns or can no longer be an MP for some other reason, such as being made a member of the House of Lords. | | | However not all Parliaments run for the whole five years, and a general election may be held before this period is up. |

| | Yet in addressing us, the Television Election - outside the party political broadcasts - did not address us directly as voters, but rather as privileged individuals, intimately eavesdropping a process of which we were not a part. | | | To conclude this section consider those cases which arose in the February 1974 election where specific pressures were brought to bear. | | | The Television Election was mounted for our benefit as voters, in order that we could inform ourselves, survey our politicians, and rationally exercise the power we have to elect our representatives. |
