 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.

 Election Watch - UK General Election 2005 - January 2005
Prime Minister Tony Blair faces the threat of an election pact between Fathers 4 Justice, UKIP and the Countryside Alliance...
According to a Reuters poll of political analysts, Tony Blair is almost certain to be re-elected at the next General Election, but is likely to resign some time over the next two to three years.
I'm sure not all the parties will be fielding candidates at the General Election, although there is something quite appealing about the country being run by the Nork Residents Association.

 The Militant - 5/19/97 -- Sinn Fein Scores Victory In UK Election
The Conservative government, defeated in the general election of May 1, had excluded Sinn Fein from talks on the future of Ireland despite their success in the 1996 elections held to elect representatives to the talks.
MANCHESTER, England - A blow was struck against the British occupation of northern Ireland with the election of Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness to the seats of West Belfast and Mid-Ulster in the United Kingdom general election on May 1.
During the election campaign in Manchester, local politicians and the Manchester Evening News led a successful campaign to block a Sinn Fein councilor from Derry, Mary Nellis, from addressing a public meeting.

 United Kingdom general election, 2001: Information From Answers.com
In Northern Ireland, the election was far more dramatic and marked a move away from the Good Friday Agreement, with the moderate unionist and nationalist parties (UUP and SDLP) losing to the more extreme parties (DUP and Sinn Féin).
In fact, Tony Blair was the first Labour prime minister to win a full second consecutive term in office, and he did so with the greatest majority ever for a party in government.

 UK manifesto Introduction by Dr Geoffrey Clements, Party Leader
The United Kingdom was the first country to see the formation of the Natural Law Party (in 1992, just before the General Election of that year).
Yet this is what the electorate is expected to believe, election after election.
By introducing policies and programmes that unfold the full potential of human life and use the comprehensive knowledge of Natural Law to create progress and success in each field of administration, the Natural Law Party is confident that it can create a perfect government and a healthy, happy, invincible nation.

After the US election, Blair tried to use his relationship with President Bush to bring pressure on the US administration on (Jewish republic in southwestern Asia at eastern end of Mediterranean; formerly part of Palestine) Israel and (A British mandate on the east coast of the Mediterranean; divided between Jordan and Israel in 1948) Palestine.

The 1874 UK general election ended with the Liberals, led by William Gladstone, winning a majority of the votes cast, but Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives winning the majority of seats in the House of Commons, largely because they won a number of uncontested seats.

It's this discrepency that seems to have done the PP the most harm at the elections.

The UK general election of 1992 was a case in point IIRC, or maybe it was the one before that (1988?).
I also doubt that there is any chance of the US election vote being re-checked even if there is the information to do it.
Maybe, but one has to allow for the tendency for people not to say that have voted for a given candidate due to their desire not to be identified as a supporter, this is given as one of the reasons why exit polls are not very reliable.

 Westminster election 1992
Apart from West Belfast - the SDLP's fourth gain in four elections - the main interest in Northern Ireland was in the performance of the Conservative Party, fighting eleven Northern Ireland seats for the first time in a general election since their split with the Unionists in 1972.
Their failure to break through in this election was decisive and the bubble was burst by their setback in the 1993 local elections.
The 1992 Westminster election returned John Major's Conservative government to power, to general astonishment at the time.

 ipedia.com: Liberal Democrats (UK) Article
Tony Blair's re-positioning of the Labour Party into the centre ground of politics in the 1990s, left the LibDems with a dilemma of how to respond, as the centre ground was traditionally their territory.
The former Liberal Paddy Ashdown became leader of the party in 1988 and under his leadership the party's support grew steadily.
They have generally performed weaker in elections to the European Parliament: for example in elections on 10 June 2004, the LibDem national share of the vote was 29% (giving them second place, ahead of Labour) in the local elections that day but only 15% in the simultaneous European elections.

 The 1997 UK General Election
About 1/4 of the electorate is likely to change vote from election to election.
Traditionally, prosperity is good for the Government - so why did a Britain of falling unemployment, and a rising boom, vote Labour, and turn against the Government?
"Black Wednesday" (Sept. 15, 1992), when the Government was forced out of the E.R.M., destroyed the Conservatives reputation for economic competence, and when the Labour elected a centrist, middle-class leader, Tony Blair in 1994 (instead of the more threatening working class Neil Kinnock).

 Opinion Poll Accuracy
The election result demonstrated that the final opinion polls were more than 8 % adrift of reality.
The five main UK polls published on the morning of the general election predicted a Labour lead of 0.8 %, which would have ensured a hung parliament with Labour as the largest party.
This left a massive 4-5 % which was accounted for by 'shy' Tory voters who had refused to answer the pollsters questions.

 Background to the Real World Coalition
Beyond the UK general election we also need to ensure that the UK Government does all it can to push for the policies and international actions that are required at the global level if we are to achieve a sustainable future for all.
y 1997, even though sustainable development did not actually hit the top of the May UK General Election campaign agenda, it was at least in all the party manifestos.
Real World played its part by, amongst other things, publishing and challenging all political parties with a 12-point Action Programme for Government and by lobbying party leaders and policy makers during the run up to the election.

The 1852 UK general election was very close, Lord John Russell's Whigs again winning the popular vote, but once again Conservative candidates won a very slight majority.
Again the split between Protectionist Tories, led by the Earl of Derby and the Peelites made the formation of a majority government very difficult.

 Land Values in 1992 General Election
Practical Politics Issue No. 26, March 1992, was a special Issue for the General Election held on 9th.
The revenue raised replaces existing taxes, which fall on personal earnings and on the goods and services people provide for eachother by productive effort.
It sought to summarise the case for the assessment and collection of land values for public revenue purposes, in replacement of existing taxation, the policy often known as `land value taxation' or `site value taxation', referred to here as LVT.

Predicting the results of political elections could be transformed from a black art into a science, thanks to a new way of getting people to tell the truth.
For example, when forecasting the outcome of the UK general election in 1992, the prediction of a close result was laughably far from the landslide victory that the Conservative party actually achieved.
Psephology, the science of voting prediction, has suffered serious embarrassments in the past.
