Wait wait wait, so in the UK you don't have fixed election dates?

The election was called on 6 April, and Parliament was dissolved on 12 April for the ensuing campaign.
[We have one each 2 years, btw. President and Governors, which is this year, and Senators, Federal and State Deputies, and Members of Municipalities. The two most voted go for a second round if the first voted doesn't get at least 50%+1 votes, President and Governor only.
You don't choose a party, you get a candidate, and his vice, instead.]
