1 the Khaki Election
"выборы в хаки", парламентские выборы в Англии (1918 и 1931 гг.) [первонач. о парламентских выборах в Англии во время англо-бурской войны 1899 - 1902 гг., на которых использовались милитаристские настроения]Lloyd George, who had become Prime Minister during the war, had only a faction behind him, and had seen the opportunity to cement his power by throwing the country into a general election - the "Khaki election", it was called, because of the spirit in which it was carried on. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 25) — Ллойд Джордж, ставший премьером во время войны, не имел опоры в парламентском большинстве. Он решил упрочить свою власть, объявив в самый разгар военного психоза новые выборы, так называемые выборы в хаки.
