Under British parliamentary convention, an election to the Westminster parliament must take place within five years and a month.

Once the Queen dissolves parliament, all 650 seats in the House of Commons, the lower house, must be contested. There is no contest for the seats in the House of Lords, the upper house, which are chosen by appointments made by the party leaders and other bodies. Elections for parliamentary seats will be held in each of the 650 territorial constituencies in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

 Each contest will see a number of candidates standing to be the local MP, with an average of 60,000 electors living in each constituency deciding who that person should be. The winner of each constituency seat is the one who gets the most votes. In the UK’s “first past the post” system, the winner is not required to receive a minimum proportion of votes cast to win.

 Once the election is over, the leader of the party with a majority of Commons seats automatically becomes prime minister and forms a government. If neither of the leading parties, Labour or the Conservatives, wins an overall majority, the situation becomes complicated, but the party leader with the most seats would normally try to form a coalition government with the largest of the smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats.

 Britain’s first-past-the-post electoral system inevitably favours the two main national parties, Labour and the Conservatives. It is difficult for smaller groupings – such as the Greens or the United Kingdom Independence party – to acquire the critical mass of votes needed to challenge Labour or the Conservatives in any one constituency.

However, the European Parliament elections which are held on a system of proportional representation, are far more favourable to the smaller political parties. This is why the British National party, the Green party and Ukip all acquired MEPs in 2009.
