2065 Presidential Election

The 2065 Presidential Election was a very important test for the Labour party if there growing support would materialize in this election after 15 years of Freedom GB rule, there was a growing amount of party fatigueand a need for change. Also worse for Freedom GB there popular leader Hugh Lord had resigned the presidency a year earlier as he ruled out running for a fourth term. So the Vice President Lauren Collins would be seeking re-election with Rhys Forrello the Senator for North Wales.

Labour ran their newly elected leader and Member of Parliament for Hammersmith, Liam Atlee. He ran a liberal progressive campaign trying to win over Progressive Conservative into a grand coalition aginist Freedom GB. However many critised him for being too young and inexperienced.

The Progressive Conservatives ran their leader and Member of Parliament for The Cotswolds, Tonya Matthias. She ran on the message of a more centrist choice for the electorate and a more moderate Conservatism than Freedom GB.

Once again Henry Fitzgerald ran on a campaign on revoking the London Accords and many of the Extremist-Right wing politics his premiership invoked.

Lauren Collins won the first round by more than 1.1 million more votes than Liam Attlee, defying many pundits who believed Attlee would narrowly win the first round. Hugh Lord declared " Lauren has don incredible work, defying all the experts ensuring that Socialism has failed and the scourge of Labour won't take us back to civil war."

However this celebration was premature as Liam Attlee won the 2nd round by 276,064 votes, this made him the 4th President of the United Kingdom, the first Labour President of the republic and the first Labour government since 2033. Lauren Collins conceded 2 days later as the results were so close. However that year the Freedom GB controlled House of Commons voted to reestablish the monarchy and Liam Attlee signed the Monarch Restoration Act 2051 into law to grant favour to the millions who voted for Freedom GB. Liam Attlee would retain his status of President until the 2070 Presidential Election, when the monarchy would be reestablished as head of state. However Liam Attlee ruled out running for a 2nd term anyway.
