The '''1905 Inglaterran Election''' was held on Sunday, 28 May 1905. As the first election held after the [[Inglaterran Unilateral Declaration of Independence|independence]] of the [[First Inglaterran Confederacy|First Confederacy]], it was the first wholly democratic election in an independent former colony in Frigio or Galia. All 350 seats in the Inglaterran [[General Assembly (First Inglaterran Confederacy)|General Assembly]] were up for election in a proportional election.  
The '''1911 Inglaterran Election''' was held on Sunday, 28 May 1911. It was the second election since Inglaterra's independence in 1899. All 350 seats in the Inglaterran [[General Assembly (First Inglaterran Confederacy)|General Assembly]] were up for election in a proportional election with a minimum threshold of 5% to enter the Assembly.


The election saw a close victory of just under 900,000 votes for [[Max van Raydel]] of the ruling [[Confederal Party (Inglaterra)|Confederal Party]] over [[Social Republican Party (Inglaterra)|Social Republican]] [[Karl Blivin]]. As a result, the Confederal majority was slim, with 183 seats meaning only a majority of eight. The Social Republicans and two independents formed the primary opposition to the Confederal majority.
The election saw a landslide victory for the ruling [[Confederal Party (Inglaterra)|Confederal Party]] led by [[Max van Raydel]] over the [[Social Republican Party (Inglaterra)|Social Republicans]] led by [[Karl Blivin]], with the Confederalists winning by 5.5 million votes, over 61.3% of votes cast. As a result, the Confederal party took 225 seats, an increase of 42 seats. The Social Republicans and one indepedent took 125 seats.


Four future chancellors entered politics with this election, [[Leon Bitte]], [[Micael Bydén]], [[Erik van Vries]], and, most infamously, a young Social Republican named [[Karl Hoeven]].
Future chancellor [[Gustaf Anders]] ran for election but lost his nomination. He would win a place on the party list in 1916.

The various Inglaterran provinces had been unified previously, under the [[Dominion of Inglaterra]]. Independence was declared in June of 1899, with [[Joeri Wasindone]] becoming the first chancellor of a provisional council of representatives from each province. Despite Wasindone's personal popularity, his age, he was 76 years old on election day, led Wasindone to announce his retirement in 1904 and not run in the new elections, leading to a campaign and race to become the leader of the Confederal Party. Max van Raydel, the former governor of [[Orkakust]], became the leader of the Confederal Party in a party conference held in December of 1904.
Incumbent chancellor Max van Raydel was easily renominated as his party's leader in the 1911 Confederalist Party Convention. No other candidates ran for the leadership position other than token opposition. However, due to a limit of serving no more than 12 years in any 16 period, Van Raydel was inelligible for another term after this election. As such, his chosen successor, [[Leon Bitte]], was elevated to the powerful position of [[Inglaterran Minister of Economics|Minister of Economics]], in an attempt to elevate him to prominence.


The Social Republican Party was primarily an alliance made up of left wing politicians in opposition to Van Raydel's conservatism and former pro-Niagaran delegates in opposition to Wasindone and the Confederal Party itself. [[Karl Blivin]], a professor of political philosophy at the [[University of Rästvall]], had favored compromise with [[Greater Niagara]] but eventually supported independence but was also a left wing philosopher, allowing him to appeal to both factions of the Social Republicans. He was elected, unopposed, in February of 1905 as the leader of the Social Republicans.
The Social Republican Party was, in contrast to the stable Confederalists, splitting. Scandals had racked the party while the economy steadily improved. An intense debate at the 1911 party conference returned that 54.2% of the assembled delegates no longer approved of Karl Blivin. However, Social Republican procedure at the time required 55% to remove a leader within six months of an election. Regardless, Blivin would do his best to unite the party around a singular goal.


Main issues of the election were a sluggish economy, gutted by a loss of trade with Niagara and Alanna, territorial disputes with Niagara and its [[Antarctic Circle States|colonies in the Antarctic region]], government reforms, and a buildup in the [[Confederate Navy (Inglaterra)|Inglaterran Navy]] to compensate for the loss of imperial protections.
Increasing militarism, including the buildup of the [[Confederate Armed Forces (Inglaterra)|armed forces]], had proved expensive but popular with constituents. A prosperous economy led to signifigant growth of urban areas, including those in [[Middle Inglaterra]], setting the stage for a powerful proletariat movement in coming decades. Foreign policy proved important in the electiom, particularly relations with [[Greater Niagara]] and the [[Alannan Empire]]. However, Van Raydel's personal popularity and popular laws such as the [[Inglaterran 1910 Pensioner's Act|Pensioner's Act]] effectively sealed the election.

The 1911 Inglaterran Election was held on Sunday, 28 May 1911. It was the second election since Inglaterra's independence in 1899. All 350 seats in the Inglaterran General Assembly were up for election in a proportional election with a minimum threshold of 5% to enter the Assembly.

The election saw a landslide victory for the ruling Confederal Party led by Max van Raydel over the Social Republicans led by Karl Blivin, with the Confederalists winning by 5.5 million votes, over 61.3% of votes cast. As a result, the Confederal party took 225 seats, an increase of 42 seats. The Social Republicans and one indepedent took 125 seats.

Future chancellor Gustaf Anders ran for election but lost his nomination. He would win a place on the party list in 1916.

Background

Incumbent chancellor Max van Raydel was easily renominated as his party's leader in the 1911 Confederalist Party Convention. No other candidates ran for the leadership position other than token opposition. However, due to a limit of serving no more than 12 years in any 16 period, Van Raydel was inelligible for another term after this election. As such, his chosen successor, Leon Bitte, was elevated to the powerful position of Minister of Economics, in an attempt to elevate him to prominence.

The Social Republican Party was, in contrast to the stable Confederalists, splitting. Scandals had racked the party while the economy steadily improved. An intense debate at the 1911 party conference returned that 54.2% of the assembled delegates no longer approved of Karl Blivin. However, Social Republican procedure at the time required 55% to remove a leader within six months of an election. Regardless, Blivin would do his best to unite the party around a singular goal.

Increasing militarism, including the buildup of the armed forces, had proved expensive but popular with constituents. A prosperous economy led to signifigant growth of urban areas, including those in Middle Inglaterra, setting the stage for a powerful proletariat movement in coming decades. Foreign policy proved important in the electiom, particularly relations with Greater Niagara and the Alannan Empire. However, Van Raydel's personal popularity and popular laws such as the Pensioner's Act effectively sealed the election.
