2055 Presidential Election

The 2055 presidential was to test if "Lord Mania" was and the momentum carried by his huge victory could grant him a second term in office. Not all British Parties put forward a candidate, as 6 Candidates including 2 Independents were standing.

The frontrunner for the whole campaign was Hugh Lord who was expected the win a second term as presidency by a smaller margin. Despite the economy was beginning the recover after stagnation since the British civil war, unemployment was under 5% as the "Fresh Start" work program was implemented that lowered corporate taxes and regulations for business. Encouraging companies to create more jobs, however inflation was still high and violence in Northern Ireland began to flare up again after the resettlement program for young British families to Northern Ireland was implemented as cities were becoming overcrowded after the population reached 90 million. But the resignation and scandal of Johnny Watson hurt the administration the most. So despite a growing economy, Northern Irish violence, high inflation and scandal all affected Hugh Lord popularity.
