Timing of election

WAs there a reason why the election was held in August rather than November? Not stated in article. Hugo999 (talk) 01:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

@Hugo999: The previous election was the snap election of July 1984. This one could not have been held in November 1987 as that would have exceeded the maximum parliamentary term. Schwede66 18:50, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
