The Vazian Federal Election of 2019 was held on the 1st July 2019. It was held along with the presidential and state elections. This election was held after the collapse of the governing RSP-Liberal coalition due to policy disagreements and 19 RSP MPs defecting to the Progressives.

Polling showed at the start of the campaign that the RSP would lose their majority and that a hung parliament would be returned. After some time it became apparent that the Progressive Alliance could get an overall majority although pundits said it was highly improbable.

Policy platforms

The main parties in the election had the main aims of:

Rising Sun Party

• Reduce the power of trade unions
• Introduce fair press regulation
• Hold a referendum on centralisation
• Semi-Privatise the VHS
• Reintroduce National Service

New Order

• Hold a referendum on banning same-sex marriage and restricting abortion
• Reduction in the rate of corporation tax to F0.10
• Temporarily ban immigration for one year
• Implement Austerity measures until 2022
• Privatise all state held assets

Progressive Alliance

• Constitutional reform by referendum
• Legalisation of same-sex marriage and making abortion a constitutional right
• Introduction of a windfall tax on excessive corporate profits

Exit Poll

Independent polling firms created an exit poll on the behalf of the VBC and Channel 2 that was revealed at the time of poll closings across the nation at 11pm. The poll predicted that the Progressive Alliance would gain seats but fail to come close to a majority. The poll showed the collapse of the ruling coalition government which included the Liberal Party and Rising Sun party. It also showed that the New Order Party had failed to make any gains and losing 46 of its seats and that the Confederlaista would loose all their seats. People Before Profit and the Green Party would also gain more ground. With Exit Poll result, it was assumed per Forward Alliance rules that a coalition government would be formed between the Progressives, Greens and People Before Profit which would have a majority of 157.

Following results being reported in several North and Lake st constituencies it became apparent that the exit poll had been inaccurate in its measure of support for the Progressive Alliance. Actual results saw the Progressive Alliance swept to power with a majority of 137 (excluding the Forward Alliance members).

Parties		Seats	Change
	Progressive Alliance	197	178
	New Order	79	46
	People before Profit	72	15
	Rising Sun Party	72	91
	Green Party	41	18
	Liberal Party	2	64
