A general election is an election in which all or most members of a given political body are chosen. The term is usually used to refer to elections held for a nation's primary legislative body, as distinguished from by-elections and local elections.
In presidential systems, the term refers to a regularly scheduled election where both the president, and either "a class" of or all members of the national legislature are elected at the same time but sometimes refers to special elections held to fill prematurely vacated positions. A general election day may also include elections for local officials.
The term originates in the elections in the United Kingdom for the House of Commons.
The elections held to elect the members of the Lok Sabha after expiry of the normal term of five years are called the General Elections. Elections to some State Legislative Assemblies may be held along with the Parliamentary Elections. Earlier up to 1957 simultaneous elections were held for both the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies. However, on account of early dismissal and mid-term elections the two got separated.
The following elections occurred in the year 2014.
1997 General Election may refer to:
General, Finnish: kenraali is the highest officer's rank in Sweden and Finland. In Sweden, it is held by the Supreme Commander (Swedish: överbefälhavare) of the Swedish Armed Forces and the monarch. In Finland, it is held by the Chief of Defence. In Sweden, the monarch still holds the nominal rank of General as well as Admiral and General of the Air Force.
Finnish Defence Forces rank of kenraali is comparable to Ranks of NATO armies officers as OF-9.
In peacetime the rank of Full General is reserved for the Commander of Finnish Defence Forces. Sometimes a General's branch of service is indicated in the rank. So far Finland has had seventeen of jalkaväenkenraali (General of Infantry), a few of jääkärikenraali (Jägergeneral), two of ratsuväenkenraali (General of Cavalry) and one tykistönkenraali (General of Artillery). Marshal Mannerheim himself was the other one of the two Generals of Cavalry before his promotion to Field Marshal.
The G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline was introduced by Hasbro in 1982, and lasted to 1994, producing well over 250 vehicles and playsets. The following is a list of playsets (i.e. toys representing static bases of operation such as fortresses, or equipment such as artillery pieces), as opposed to vehicles (i.e. in-universe are meant to move under their own power).
The Defiant Space Vehicle Launch Complex was a combination vehicle and playset released in 1987, and came packaged with the Payload and Hardtop action figures. Retailing at US $129.99, the cost of the playset - the most expensive toy in Hasbro's G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero lineup - led to Hasbro re-releasing the shuttle two years later as a stand alone vehicle called the Crusader, which used the same mold as the Defiant shuttle. The toy also came with a re-painted version of the Payload action figure.
The General first appeared in the 1990 edition of the toyline from Hasbro. It is described as the G.I. Joe Team’s mobile strike headquarters. Major Storm is the commander of the vehicle.
General is the second highest rank in the Sri Lankan Army and is a four-star rank. The rank is held by a Chief of the Defence Staff or is mostly awarded as a ceremonial rank to retiring Commanders of the Army. The serving Commander of the Army since the 1970s have head the rank of Lieutenant-General with a brief exception in 2009 when Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka was promoted as a General while he was still the Army Commander. Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka thus to date is the only 5-Star General in the history of Sri Lanka Armed Forces.
A general's insignia is a crossed sword and baton. A Major-General has a pip over this emblem; a Lieutenant-General a Sri Lanka emblem instead of a pip; and a full General both a pip and the Sri Lanka emblem.
Brigadiers, although equivalent to Brigadier Generals in other armies, are now considered to be general officers in the Sri Lankan Army.
Election in Christianity involves God choosing a particular person or group of people to a particular task or to relationship, especially eternal life.
Election to eternal life is viewed by some as conditional on a person's faith, and by others as unconditional.
The Old Testament applies the term "elect" to the Israelites in as far as they are called to be the chosen people, or people of God, or are faithful to their divine call. The idea of such an election is common in Deuteronomy and in Isaiah 40-66.
The New Testament transfers the meaning of the term from its connection with the people of Israel to the members of the body of Christ (Christian church), either militant on earth or triumphant in heaven.
Canada's governing party will vote for a new leader on Sunday. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been losing support for several years, and his Liberal Party was on track to suffer a major defeat in the upcoming general election. Since Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs and annex Canada, the leadership race has become focused on who can best confront the US president.

With the electoral boundaries report out on March 13, the next key event to look out for in Singapore's general election would be the dissolution of parliament. This must take place no later than January 2021 -- five years from the first sitting of the current parliament. Once parliament is dissolved, a writ of election is issued by the President on the same day. It specifies the date and place for the nomination of candidates. Nomination Day has to be held no earlier than five days and no later than a month after the writ of election is issued. Campaigning starts on Nomination Day, with a minimum of nine days. It's followed by Cooling-Off Day. Polling Day must be held no more than 56 days after Nomination Day. The general election must be held by April 2021. Subscribe to our channel here...
Kemi Badenoch has challenged Sir Keir Starmer to resign, pointing to a petition signed by 2 million people calling for a general election in the UK. After the prime minister told the Commons at PMQs that Ms Badenoch’s party hasn’t “got a clue what they’re doing”, the Tory leader responded: “If he wants to know what the Conservatives would do, he should resign and find out.” “There’s a petition out there – 2 million people asking him to go. He’s the one who doesn’t know how things work, it’s not government that creates growth, it is business. Businesses say they are cutting jobs because of the chancellor’s budget”, she added.

Singapore's next General Election must be held by November this year. No party has named candidates yet, but there has been a buzz over new faces seen on the ground. Analysts said early engagement with local communities could boost recognition for parties, but it's still tough to find the right candidates. Sabrina Ng reports, while Associate Professor Eugene Tan from the SMU School of Law and Dr Felix Tan, an independent political observer, were in the studio to share more about the selection of new candidates. Correction: 1:26 In this report, it is mentioned that Dr Charlene Chen spoke at the PAP's annual party convention in 2024. This is incorrect. We apologise for the error.

(2 May 1997) English/Nat British Prime Minister John Major conceded defeat in the U-K election at 02:30 G-M-T on Friday 2 May. Speaking after he was returned as the Member of Parliament for Huntingdon, in South East England, Major conceded defeat -- but spoke of the responsibilities now facing Tony Blair - Britain's next Prime Minister and the first Labour leader to hold the post for 18 years. SOUNDBITE: "It is perfectly clear now that the Labour party has had an extremely successful evening. I telephoned Mr Blair a little over an hour ago to congratulate him on his success and to wish him every good fortune in the great responsibilities that he will have in the years that lie ahead. This is a great country. He inherits a country in extremely good economic shape. I wish him e...

In 1997, Blair swept to power with a swing of 10% and an overall majority of 179. This video explores what happened and why. It should be interesting for A-Level Politics students or those interested in history or politics.
On 17 March 1997, ITN's Michael Brunson reported on the first day of campaigning in the 1997 General Election, following the announcement by Conservative Prime Minister John Major that an election would be held on 1 May that year. Major and his cabinet colleagues were confident a victory was within reach, spurred on by an endorsement from former prime minister Margaret Thatcher and unperturbed by The Sun's endorsement of Labour leader Tony Blair. Mr Blair himself began his campaign in Gloucester, where he made the case for a "revitalised" Labour Party being able to offer the change he believed people wanted. The Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Mr Paddy Ashdown, stressed that his party would fight a clean fight, rising above any mudslinging from Labour or the Tories, meanwhile Scottish Nat...

Tony Blair led Labour to general election victory on 2 May 1997. Mr Blair's first Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) took place on 21 May 1997. It was also the first time that PMQs was held in a new format, with the two 15-minute sessions held on a Tuesday and Thursday replaced by a single 30 minute session on a Wednesday.

Rishi Sunak declared “now is the moment for Britain to choose its future” as he announced the general election will be held on July 4. Speaking in Downing Street in the pouring rain this afternoon, a soaked Mr Sunak vowed to “fight for every vote” as he pitched the election as a direct battle between him and Sir Keir Starmer. The Prime Minister took a swipe at Sir Keir and suggested his counterpart was not fit to lead the nation, claiming the Labour leader had shown “time and time again that he will take the easy way out and do anything to get power”. #Sunak #generalelection #labour Read more here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/05/22/rishi-sunak-latest-news-pmqs-inflation-keir-starmer-tories/ Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.

A general election is an election in which all or most members of a given political body are chosen. The term is usually used to refer to elections held for a nation's primary legislative body, as distinguished from by-elections and local elections.
In presidential systems, the term refers to a regularly scheduled election where both the president, and either "a class" of or all members of the national legislature are elected at the same time but sometimes refers to special elections held to fill prematurely vacated positions. A general election day may also include elections for local officials.
The term originates in the elections in the United Kingdom for the House of Commons.
The elections held to elect the members of the Lok Sabha after expiry of the normal term of five years are called the General Elections. Elections to some State Legislative Assemblies may be held along with the Parliamentary Elections. Earlier up to 1957 simultaneous elections were held for both the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies. However, on account of early dismissal and mid-term elections the two got separated.
Hold that thought for everytime,
They will attack, they will attack.
Hold that thought for everytime,
They will attack, they will attack.
Hold that thought for everytime,
They will attack, they will attack.
Hold that thought for everytime,
They will attack, they will attack.
I'll watch it all unfold.
Make my presence diminish by the second,
Yours is the same story to tell, to tell,

Or whatever made these actions,
Made these actions count.
Don't tell me how to live,
Don't tell me how I feel but please look after me.
But please look after me.
You bend and you're back breaks you,
Rise and your head aches,
When you scream when you fall down but it won't make a sound.
You bend and you're back breaks you,
Rise and your head aches,
When you scream when you fall down but it won't make a sound.
Hold yourself when they attack, and hold yourself and don't look back.
Hold yourself when they attack, and hold yourself and don't look back.
Hold yourself when they attack, and hold yourself and don't look back.
Hold yourself when they attack, hold yourself and don't look back,
