| | United Kingdom general elections - Encyclopedia of Political Information |
 | | In the UK general elections are generally affairs in which public opinion changes gradually from general election from election. | | | The election is held 17 working days after the date of the Proclamation. | | | This timing is usually political, and thus if a government is popular the election is often "called" after around four years in power. |

| | To conclude this section consider those cases which arose in the February 1974 election where specific pressures were brought to bear. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
