2028 UK Election

The United Kingdom general election of 2015 was held on 7 May 2015 to elect 650 members to the British House of Commons.

Labour were expected to do well from the beginning as the coalition had been deeply unpopular and the Conservatives were still considered a very weak group. However, due to a whole new image and charismatic leaders, the Conservatives went on to win a Landslide Victory.

Election Process
The Fixed Term Parliament Act 2021 meant that the new election was due for 2028, All British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens over the age of 18 on the date of the election were permitted to vote. In general elections, voting takes place in all parliamentary constituencies of the United Kingdom to elect members of parliament (MPs) to seats in the House of Commons, the dominant (historically termed the lower) house of Parliament. Each parliamentary constituency of the United Kingdom elects one MP to the House of Commons using the "first-past-the-post" system. If one party obtains a majority of seats, then that party is entitled to form the Government. If the election results in no single party having a majority, then there is a hung parliament. In this case, the options for forming the Government are either a minority government or a coalition government.

For the first time, there was a fixed price for how much you could spend on the Election. From this the Conservatives could spend:

730-548: £392,250

547-365: £560,750

364-180: £807,250

180-0: £1,608,700

Total: £3,368,950

Labour Could Spend:

730-548: £825,000

547-365: £1,187,500

364-180: £1,631,250

180-0: £3,222,500
