2415 Empherias general election

The 2415 Empherias general election was held on 21 December 2415, to elect 600 members to the Empherias House of Parliament. It resulted in the Socialist party winning with a majority of 56, establishing the first majority government since the 2395 revolution. The outcome of this election leads the dissolution of the Populist party in 2417, and also sees Elizabeth Rose elected as Prime Minister for her second non-consecutive term.

Background
Henry Watford resigned as Prime Minister a week following the 2414 election when it seemed as though the Populists had lost seats and were on the verge of losing power once again. He realised he wasn't the man to unite the party but elected Robert Webber, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as his successor without the approval of the party. Robert Webber would call an early election to take place on 21 December 2415 though he wanted to hold it earlier. This was to solve parliamentary deadlock with the opposition holding just one less seat, and the government being 53 seats short of a majority.
