2045 Presidential Election

The 2045 election was a classic three way contest beetween the Incumbent President Henry Fitzgerald of People's Patriotic Vanguard, James Eubank of Labour and Shari Jarminda of Freedom GB.

The incumbent President had Henry Fitzgerald who appointed Vice President shortly before his father's death was a widely popular figure compared to growing resentment of his father despite the November days plot, the economy was strong he was expected to win the election with a smaller margin.

One of the two main challenger was James Eubank of Labour who was the MP for Canterbury, considered a grandee in the Labour party but had wide grassroots support from the Labour party members.

However his most interesting main challenger was Shari Jarminda of Freedom GB who was MP for Southport and one of 3 Female ethnic Indian MP's in the party. Many members tried to rope in Hugh Lord to the party leader voted the most popular Politician in the country, however like in 2035 and 2040 he refused. Stating " I entered Politics to serve my constituents and my family both of which would be undermined if I ran for President." So Jarminda was selected by members to show a fresh young face for the party.

Henry Fitzgerald won the election for PPV with another convincing margin and in the second round he won by a larger than expected margin. However many saw it as a missed opportunity to oust PPV, as if Freedom GB had got into the second round instead of Labour. All the parties voters would band behind Freedom GB to oust PPV. But in this Election nearly all Freedom GB voters switched to PPV in the second round. Making a Labour win almost impossible.
