The government currently in power decides when the next general election 
is to be held, and once they declare that it will be held, there is 
about 4 weeks until it is held.  They must hold a general election once 
every 4 years or so.

My question to AndyR: why the hell does stuff have to be orchestrated 
carefully around the next general election?  Do you think we have a 
rat's chance in hell of winning a seat, or influncing anyone else's 
winning a seat?

(if he bothers to respond to that, it will be a record)
