2027 Parliamentary General Election

The 2027 General Election was held on the 5th November 2027, this was a snap general election after the minority Conservative government lost their majority after the DUP crossed the floor to the opposition and then lost in 4 subsequent by-elections, 1 to the Liberal Democrats, 2 to Vanguard and 1 to Labour. By this point the Conservative had been in power for seventeen years and were predicted to get their worse vote share since the 1997 election. However as Labour were polling poorly as well. This race looked like an opportunity for Vanguard to gain a number of Seats.

The main issues of this election were Terrorism, Immigration and the economy. PPV campaigned on limiting immigration and introducing a points based system, increasing spending for the army and Police budgets and to lower taxes for the lowest earners similar to their 2025 manifesto. Labour campaigned on tax increases for the top earners to fund more more money for the NHS and Education. THe Conservatives campaigned on their policies in the last parliament.

The election resulted in another hung parliament, both Labour and the Conservatives saw their number of seats and vote share drop. The DUP announced they would support the Conservatives if Ruth Davidson would resign after immediately after the election. PPV increased their vote share by more than 10% and became the third largest party holding the balance of power. In light of this Vanguard announced they would vote for a Conservative queen's speech if certain concessions were made. Many saw the Conservatives waning in power and they were puppets to Vanguard. Labour tried to form a coalition with the SNP, Plaid and the Greens but PPV announced they would vote against any Queen's speech put forward, as Fitzgerald described it would be a "Coalition of Chaos, working against the interests of the British people."

However little under 18 months later this Conservative, DUP minority government would lose a vote of No-confidence as polling had shifted in favour of PPV and Labour making a new election more lucrative. Also the Conservatives had failed to implement many of the concessions the PPV demanded for voting with the Conservative's queens speech in their informal voting arrangement.
