‘Opposition parties don’t win General elections, Government lose them’ How valid is this view in relation to the 1906 British General Election?

General elections usually happen every four years in the United States, candidates vowing their loyalty to the nation in an attempt to win the trust of the majority of the voters. Each of these candidates explains his or hers policies in the way they see it. They then leave the choice to the people on which of the candidates presented the most promising policies.
