While the Queen and the Royal family are allowed to vote, traditionally they do not because it could be considered unconstitutional. What that means is that while legally she is entitled to vote, tradition and how the role of the Royal family has evolved have made it unconstitutional (not allowed) because it would be seen as interfering in politics.
The most recent United Kingdom general election was held on May 6th 2010, with 649 out of 650 parliamentary constituencies returning a single member each to the House of Commons. Voting in the 650th constituency, Thirsk and Malton, took place on May 27th - the delay being due to the death of a candidate from the United Kingdom Independence Party, a minor political party with no parliamentary representation.
You are to have at least 326 which is a majority so they can make decisions without coming to a deadlock. There are 650 seats altogether in Parliament
Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act (2011), a general election must occur five years after the previous election. Before the act, the Prime Minister decided on the date, as long as it was no longer than five years after the previous election.
First you have to know the theme of the party and the gender of the person.
Then I would advise going to places such as PartyAmerica.com and searching for some stuff.
Good Luck!
They actually do, contrary to popular belief.
The Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party both campaign for seats in Northern Ireland. The Labour Party does not, due to a legal technicality.
It is simply the case that Northern Irish voters prefer the Northern Irish parties.
UK general election of 2005 was held on Thursday, 5 May 2005 . The general election took place in 646 constituencies across the United Kingdom, under the first-past-the-post system, for seats in the House of Commons. All but one constituency polled on 5 May; the South Staffordshire vote was postponed and took place on 23 June due to the death of a candidate.
There are 73 elected constituency MSPs (to represent a constituency) and 56 additional MSPs (to represent Scottish regions).
At the 2010 general election, the constituency ofHoughtonand Sunderland South was the first constituency to declare a result. Prior to this, the now-abolished constituency of Sunderland South (an old constituency from which the new one was largely made) had been first to declare in 2005, 2001, 1997 and 1992.
As the 2015 general election boundaries will be the same as the ones used in 2010 following the Coalition's postponement of the planned boundary review until 2018, it is highly likely Sunderland South will again be first to declare. All three Sunderland seats traditionally declare very early; usually within two hours of polls closing, before meaningful results begin to trickle in.
The most recent constituency other than Sunderland South to declare first was Torbay, at the 1987 general election. By 1997, Torbay had slipped considerably, being the 243rd seat to declare that year.
No one ever registers as a candidate in more than one constituency during one election. I'm not even sure whether it's allowed.
Ultimately - from central government. Local Authorities are only empowered to make by-laws that affect the regional population - not sweeping laws that apply to the whole country. For example - Parliament sets the taxation rates for emplyed people, but Local Authorities set the council-tax rates.
In the US the party system has taken complete control over the election process.
Secretary of State in each state "runs" all state-wide elections
The United Kingdom does not record this kind of information about elections. According to Ipsos-MORI, 44% of people aged 18 - 24 voted in the 2010 parliamentary general election, based on an exit poll survey of 10,000 people. The margin of error of the survey is +/-0.98pp, meaning that we can say with reasonable confidence between 43% and 45% of people aged 18 - 24 voted.
The vice leader is the leader of the Liberal Democrats. His name is Nick Clegg or as some may call him "Cleggy-Weggy".
