2060 Presidential Election

The 2060 Presidential Election was another election when all the pundits believed Hugh Lord would win re-election once again despite being into office for the last 10 years. 7 Candidates ran for in this election. But of course the two front runners were Freedom GB and Labour.Freedom GB easily renominated Hugh Lord, who was widely expected to win perhaps by an even larger margin than in 2055. After the havoc of the selection of candidate for Labour, Hugh Lord pointed to the fact that "Labour couldn't manage their own party never mind the country." Hugh Lord once again picked Lauren Collins to be his vice president.

Labour finally choose Jodie Foster the 1st term Senator from South East London. She was criticised for being too young and was often caught out in her political knowledge. However she was popular among Labour members for being considered even more of a progressive socialist than Imran Hussein, most voters saw her too left wing and were turned off after her poor debate performance against the highly skilled experienced Hugh Lord.

The progressive Conservatives were gaining some steam at the start of the campaign. But fell 5 points 2 weeks before polling day after the Foretell Scandal after, Eliza Foretell. Edward Weiss' running mate was accused of taking cash for question when she was a MP. Before the scandal, the Progressive Conservatives where polling in the low 20%, just behind Labour and were even expected to overtake after Foster's weak debate performance. She dropped out of the race.

Turnout was lower as many Labour voters were turned off by the election after the uninspiring Jodie Foster and Progressive Conservative share fell due to the Foretell scandal. This election also marked the first time a sitting President had increased there share of the vote since the last election. Hugh Lord easily won but announced after winning he wouldn't seek another re-election and would resigned half way through this term. Most pundits believed that this election could have been a golden opportunity for Labour and that they are giving Freedom GB a monopoly on British politics.
