Lonmouth: The Democratic Party, often named the Democrats, have won a shocking election victory that has shaken the status quo of New Englian politics. In a suprise election the party has become the largest in the country, taking away swathes of seats from both the Liberal Conservatives and Labour. Under the new partially proportional election the party benefitted from people eager to try something new. Democratic leader Zach Ellis had portrayed himself as a moderate capable of being both socially generous and fiscally conservative. His campaign slogan, "Time for Change", excellently played into the general desire of the people to step away from two party politics and into a new age of compromise. The Democrats captured 130 of the 300 seats in the Chamber, just 20 seats short of a overall majority, as well as capturing 42% of the national vote. The former ruling Liberal Conservatives still had a strong showing, securing 78 seats in the lower chamber and becoming the second party.
The Kilani League, the Kilani nationalist party, has instantly become the third largest party in the country, securing most of the seats in the majority Kilani regions in the south. The party has vouched not to enter a government "until significant promises on autonomy are made." Labour has further sunk from its high several decades ago, becoming the fourth party in the country and securing just 33 seats. A new minor party, the Progressive Ecologists, have secured 10 seats campaigning on a platform of conservation and conservatism.
Under this result the Democratic Party is set to form a new government, with Lord Protector Houghton announcing that he will meet with Democratic leader Ellis in the next few days, likely formalizing his appointment. Despire the situation Labour currently finds itself in it seems that Prime Minister-designate Ellis is seeking to form a coalition government with Labour, with the two parties having both majorities in the Chamber and the Senate if they decide to form a government. Negotiations for said coalition have yet to be formalized, with Labour leader Aaryan Chambers noting that "certain concessions and guarentees" would be made to make it a reality. A Labour-Democratic government would sit on the center-left, granting the country its first left of centre government in two decades.
