General elections are typically less intense because they involve the voters' choice of the entire government or legislature, rather than a specific position or issue. This broader focus results in a more positive atmosphere, as politicians tend to focus on presenting their overall vision and policies for the country rather than engaging in negative campaigning or attacking opponents. However, the intensity and negativity can still vary based on the specific political climate and issues at stake in the election.

What is the difference between by elections and general elections?
A general election takes place when every elected seat in a body - for example, a chamber of a legislature - is up for election at once, simultaneously, in the same election period, though not necessarily on the same day. For example, on May 6 2010, the United Kingdom held a general election when all 650 of its Members of Parliament were elected at once. In contrast, a by-election is held to fill an arising vacancy on a body. If a member dies, resigns or is expelled from a legislative body, in most jurisdictions, a by-election is held to replace that person with a new member, who serves until the next general election. Even if multiple by-elections take place at once, they do not constitute a general election, though they usually occur only in small groups or on their own. For example, in the UK, by-elections will be held to fill three vacancies in the House of Commons on November 15 2012. An example of a large number of by-elections being held together outside of a general election would be the Burmese by-elections of April 1 2012, when 46 seats (out of 664) were elected at once as the result of vacancies in the Assembly of the Union.
Who win in off year elections?
"Off year" elections - elections that are not held alongside so-called "big ticket" elections, like presidential or parliamentary general elections - are typically, in most nations, won by opposition parties. For a number of reasons, opposition parties usually fare better in off-year elections, chiefly as voters seek to register dis-satisfaction with the incumbent government. This can happen even to popular governments. In the UK's 1997 general election, Tony Blair's Labour Party was elected in a landslide with a 418 - 165 seat margin over the ruling Conservative Party in the House of Commons. Just two years later at the 1999 local elections, his party lost over 1,000 seats to the Conservative Party despite winning 40% of the vote (down from 43% in 1997). However, two years later in the main general election, his party was re-elected on a 413 - 166 seat margin - hardly any change from four years earlier.
