How frequently are Members of Parliament (MPs) elected in a General Election?

Okay, so when we talk about General Elections and electing Members of Parliament, it's all about the fixed-term parliament act. This act, passed in 2011, established that General Elections should be held every five years. Before this act, the Prime Minister could technically call an election at any point within a five-year window, which gave the ruling party a bit of an advantage. Now, the five-year cycle provides stability and predictability to the political landscape. So, while there can be exceptions – like a vote of no confidence that triggers an early election – the standard is every five years. Thinking about it, five years is a significant chunk of time, allowing MPs to implement policies and be held accountable for their actions over a reasonable period. That's why "every five years" is the correct answer. The other options are tempting, but they don't reflect the current legal framework for General Elections in the UK.
