The '''Vazian Federal Election of 2019''' was held on the 14th April 2019 to elect the 9th sitting of the Vazian Congress. It was held along with the [[2019 Vazian Presidential Election|presidential]] and various state elections. Seven "Presidential Class" seats were up for election in the Senate and all 250 seats were up for reelection in the House.
The '''2019 Vazian general election''' was held on Thursday 12 December 2019. The Liberal Party, having failed to obtain a majority in the 2018 general election, governed in minority with the support of the Socialist Party under Leader [[Lee Cooper]].  
 
The Forward Alliance picked up seven Senate seats and 84 seats in the House of Representatives. Brudian Governor [[Micheal Brudia]] also carried all 263 electoral votes in the Presidential race. The 2019 election represented the first time since the inception of the 2001 Vazian Constitution that a party outside of the traditional two-party system controlled all three branches of the Vazian government.
 


In July 2019, a by-election brought former Brudian Prime Minister Micheal Brudia to the Legislature who was rumord to be garnering support to cvhallenge Cooper as leader. On September 1st 2019, Micheal Brudia called for a vote of no-confidence in Cooper's leadership which passed by a loandslide vote of 99-12. Brudia was unopposed in the leadership election and was declared leader. Micheal Brudia announced that the Sociualsit Party would be calling for a vote of no-confidence in the government. This passed 265-198 calling the December 12th election.


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.
The election resulted in a Socialist landslide majority win of 139 seats, the first Socialsit governemnt since 1967, with the party making a net gain of 190 seats and winning xx% of the vote. The Conservtaive Party won 129 seats, making 24 net loses vastly underpreforming pundits expectations. The Liberal Party made a net loss of 166 seats and won xx.x% of the vote, resulting in their worst reult ever since the introduction of the modern constitution.


==Parties==
The result of the election saw the Socialist swept into power with a large mandate to implement their mainfesto commitments. The massive Liberal defeat led to Emmanuel Matin announcing his intention to resign, triggering a leadership election. For Conservative leader Jo Thatcher, the loss of her constituency's seat compelled her to resign, also triggering a leadership election.

The 2019 Vazian general election was held on Thursday 12 December 2019. The Liberal Party, having failed to obtain a majority in the 2018 general election, governed in minority with the support of the Socialist Party under Leader Lee Cooper.

In July 2019, a by-election brought former Brudian Prime Minister Micheal Brudia to the Legislature who was rumord to be garnering support to cvhallenge Cooper as leader. On September 1st 2019, Micheal Brudia called for a vote of no-confidence in Cooper's leadership which passed by a loandslide vote of 99-12. Brudia was unopposed in the leadership election and was declared leader. Micheal Brudia announced that the Sociualsit Party would be calling for a vote of no-confidence in the government. This passed 265-198 calling the December 12th election.

The election resulted in a Socialist landslide majority win of 139 seats, the first Socialsit governemnt since 1967, with the party making a net gain of 190 seats and winning xx% of the vote. The Conservtaive Party won 129 seats, making 24 net loses vastly underpreforming pundits expectations. The Liberal Party made a net loss of 166 seats and won xx.x% of the vote, resulting in their worst reult ever since the introduction of the modern constitution.

The result of the election saw the Socialist swept into power with a large mandate to implement their mainfesto commitments. The massive Liberal defeat led to Emmanuel Matin announcing his intention to resign, triggering a leadership election. For Conservative leader Jo Thatcher, the loss of her constituency's seat compelled her to resign, also triggering a leadership election.

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 11 pm. The poll predicted that the Progressive Alliance would gain seats and have a landslide majority of 79. 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 71 of its seats and that the Confederalist Party would lose all but one of 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 state 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.

Aftermath

At 8 am the day after the election outgoing Prime Minister North conceded the election and resigned the premiership. He told his supporters that politics has been "changed beyond recognition" and later added that he believed that both RSP and New Order parties had been "incompetent". Soon after North's resignation Micheal Brudia the now-former governor of Brudia was summoned to the Presidential Palace where he was inaugurated as President. His first act was to assemble the 7th Parliament and move for the election of a new Prime Minister. At Midday the President Brudia officially appointed Racheal Povaz as Prime Minister.
