Scarborough and Whitby By-election 2048

This By-election was fought on the 22nd September 2048, when James Johnston the PPV Education secretary was caught up in the FFC-Brittanaia scandal which saw PPV working with a Chinese data collection multinational to help them win the 2045, in exchange for political kickbacks within the UK.

3 months prior to the by-election, a motion under the recall act was enacted after 28.7% of the constituency voted to recall James Johnston and face a by-election.

PPV re-adopted James Johnston as their candidate after stating they had stayed within the bounds of the law and deny Johnston of any wrong doing.

Freedom GB chose Abbie Walker the youngest by-election candidate ever chosen by Freedom GB being only 26. She was a local business owner and councillor on Scarborough council.

Labour chose Andy Knight, a sociology university lecturer from the university of Middlesborough who has lived in the constituency for the past 52 years.

Progressive Conservatives, Class war union, The Monster Raving Loony Party, Liberal Democrats, New Party, Libertarian, Christian Party and 2 independents all stood.

This election came as a huge shock to the governing PPV who were still expected to hold on to this seat comfortably. This by-election sparked the gradual decline of PPV until their near annihilation in the 2050 Presidential election. Freedom GB were the main benefactors of PPV's collapse as Freedom GB were a more Libertarian Populist Right Wing party compared to PPV who were authoritarian Right wing who were now associated with scandals and failure in government,
