Leo Hughes and the centre-right London Municipal Party look set to emerge with a decisive majority in a landslide vote, exit polls reveal. The LMP is expected to win over 60% of the vote, which would entitle it to all Constituency Seats and one AMS, while the centre-left Civic Residents' Alliance anticipates major losses, including leader Robin Birley's seat of Havering and Redbridge, with a swing of 20% from the CRA to the LMP. The expected results are expected to be a major turnaround in the fortunes of the LMP, who in 2012 faced humiliation when their caucus was defeated in a similar landslide by the CRA. Indeed many experts expect that the results will be a reversal of the 2012 election, although many are shocked by the scale of the LMP's win, with those who were optimistic enough to predict victory blown away.
"The polling here has very clearly been wrong", a surprised Nadeem Abdul-Tawwab Abboud, the 19 year old LMP candidate for Bexley & Bromley, now projected to become an Assembly Member, told World Elections correspondents after witnessing the exit poll, and continued by stating that "and for whatever reason, the polls were about fifteen percent short of what the actual outcome will be, and only gave us a majority of one thanks to AMS."
Some, however, expressed their scepticism. A visibly shaken Rupert Clarke, the sitting AM for the previously safe Croydon & Sutton, explained that: "It's only an exit poll, and when we compare it to what we have already seen in the polls, it's clear that there has been some grave error on behalf of the BBC, and that it was shameful for them to put out something that is clearly false". Clarke's colleague and the outgoing Cabinet Minister for Public Safety and South London, Samantha Browning, AM for Greenwich & Lewisham, refused interview. LMP Leader Leo Hughes, also AM for Lambeth & Southwark, has pinned the CRA's failure partially on Browning's failure on crime and community responsibilities, although Browning has refuted these and similar charges during the campaign.
The first round of results will be announced at 6AM tomorrow morning.
The turnout is reportedly a respectable 65%.

My father’s house was blue.
At least, that’s what I remember of it. The house my father owned, and the house where I was born, was blue.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England.
At least, that’s what she told me in restless nights and dreamless sleep, that we came from England.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England, and they’re buried in a place called Strood.
At least, it’s what I understand what my Uncle told me. He told me my parents are in a place called Kent, a faraway land where the land was fertile and the Archbishop lives.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England, and they’re buried in a place called Strood where they dropped the hydrogen bomb.
At least, I have pictures. There is nothing left of my mother and father except for pictures and my memories, and even they don’t seem to be the same. The photographs are colder. The life in their eyes is missing. My father’s beard is too thick, and my mother’s face too sallow.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England, and they’re buried in a place called Strood where they dropped the hydrogen bomb. My Uncle’s house is red.
At least, I think it’s red. He insists on calling it ‘crimson’. I came here on a fishing boat; washed up on the coast of France from a place called England. I was told that I was lucky to be alive; a few more days adrift at sea and I would have perished.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England, and they’re buried in a place called Strood where they dropped the hydrogen bomb. My Uncle’s house is red, and his name is Francis.
At least, he said his name was Francis. I have no way of knowing if this is true, but I know he isn’t truly my Uncle, at least not blood related. He and Mother went to Paris III, where I’ll be going next year.
My father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England, and they’re buried in a place called Strood where they dropped the hydrogen bomb. My Uncle’s house is red, and his name is Francis.
I’ve never known my parents, and I may never known their England. But my father’s house was blue, and my mother’s home was England. These facts are true. But they are not real- not anymore.
Strood is where they’re buried. You cannot find a gravestone there, not for them or the millions seeking to escape, huddled in the alleys and streets and sewers. The whole town is their grave.
I have never been to Strood. I would like to go one day. My Uncle tells me that atop the town is New Strood; bulldozers over rubble. Lives over the dead.
I think a great deal of Father. I think a great deal of mother. My father’s house was blue, or at least I’m told it was blue. I’m told my father and mother died loving me; or at least I’m told they did. I have no way of knowing, and neither does my Uncle.
He doesn’t think I should go to Strood. He wants me to stay in France. To go to Paris III, to live and die on wine and cheese. To suffocate in Lyon; to fall in love in Nice.
Had the bombs not dropped I wonder what would have become of my father and mother. But I know for certain that they are gone.
My father's house is gone, and my mother's England's dead.
My house is red, and my home is France.

Wow. That's powerful.
The 2018 United States Senate election in Superior was held on November 6, 2018, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Superior, concurrently with the election of the Governor of the State of Superior, as well as other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.
Under Superior's supplementary vote system, unlike instant-runoff voting used in neighbouring Michigan and Wisconsin, each elector was asked to choose their first and second choice of candidate only, where, if no candidate received an overall majority of the votes in the first round, all candidates except the top two polling are eliminated, with those eliminated having their second-choice votes redistributed to pick a winner. The State of Mississippi also practices supplementary voting, having adopted it in 2012 following the impeachment of William Berry.
Incumbent Democratic Senator Fredric Johnson ran for a second term, winning the Democratic Party Primaries without significant opposition, however faced opposition in the Senatorial Election through Independent campaigns of Superior State Senator James Wilshaw, Representative Bradley Davidson, and businessmen Louise Michelle, the three of whom opposed Johnson's support of Chicago Economics, open borders, and hawkish foreign policy, respectively. The Liberal Party nominated former Governor Susan Clark following a long primary battle, while the Progressive Party nominated firebrand Marquette County Auditor Beatrice Glass.
The campaign itself was notable for Glass' emergence as frontrunner, the first non-Dakotan Progressive in over 50 years to lead in the polls. Campaigning on issues such as free college, anti-corruption, pro-unionism, minimum wage, healthcare reform, tax reform, and a dovish foreign policy, her campaign touched a nerve with many working class and left-liberal's in Superior who were otherwise uninspired by Susan Clark's campaign. Compared during the election and since to Mississippi Senator William Berry, much like Berry, Glass surged in opinion polls thanks her performance in the debates, appealing next to the exacerbated and embattled Johnson and the smug and overconfidence Clark, but also speaking with the effect writer Andrew Jameson described as "sounding like common sense, even if she wasn't necessarily talking it".
In the first round of voting, Glass won a plurality of votes, 1.7% ahead of Johnson. The result came as a shock to many pundits who had expected Clark or even James Wilshaw to come in second next to Johnson. Clark herself had only won 17.7% of the vote, the worst showing by a Liberal candidate since the Party began contesting elections in Superior. Following reshuffling of second preference votes, Johnson won the second round by a landslide, obtaining the support not just of both Wilshaw and Bradley Davidson's significant vote shares, but also the majority of the Liberal Party second preferences, an outcome that came as an even bigger surprise to psephologists. Overall Johnson obtained 83,414 votes to Glass' 53,527, 60.9% of the vote and an increase of 51,124 votes.

This timeline's UP's got some odd politics. Where'd the GOP go?
Broken up and had the carcass cleaned by various regional successors, the Liberal Party, and the Democrats. All that is left of the GOP are Black socialists in the US South.
The 2016 United States Senate elections in Río Colorado took place on November 8, 2016. This marked the first US Senate elections held in Río Colorado after it was admitted to the union, and was held concurrently with elections for Río Colorado's other Senate seats, the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, as well as other elections to the Unites States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Cristina Rubio was elected Delegate of Río Colorado to the United States House of Representatives in 2008, winning re-election four times as an Independent Conservative. Carlos Zapata was elected as Territorial Governor in 2010, re-elected in 2014 to oversea the Río Colorado constitutional convention alongside Rubio in 2015. During this time, both would position themselves for the Class 1 US Senate seat.
Prior to the election, Río Colorado was expected to be a Liberal pick-up. Governor Zapata was popular, had a close relationship and was endorsed by Senator Bernie Chen, the Liberal Party nominee and eventual winner of the 2016 Presidential election, and had a strong, well funded campaign. However, Rubio's time in Congress was a major strength to her own campaign, allowing her to cast Zapata as largely inexperienced beyond their state, while Rubio could be the champion that the new state needed to make its voice heard in the fragmented Congress.
The result was an unexpectedly close race, although overshadowed by the US Presidential election. The issues largely focused on border control with the El Norte Federation, and federal aid and welfare relief that had been previously denied due to Río Colorado's status as a territory. Rubio would campaign on a broadly closed border and pro-aid/welfare programme, while Zapata was focused on associating himself with Bernie Chen, hoping to ride his coattails.
In the end, Rubio would win the election for the Democratic Party, with Zapata notably failing in his attempt to ride Chen's otherwise landslide victory in Río Colorado. Zapata would remain Territorial Governor until his election to Governor proper in 2018, while Rubio would change her affiliation in the Senate that same year, defecting from the Democratic Party to the fledging Christian Democratic Party.
The governing Liberals, led by Wade MacLauchlan, who had become Leader of the PEI Liberal's and Premier a few moths prior to the election were defeated in a landslide, pushed into third place by the Progressive Conservative Party and New Democratic Party in both their worst result in terms of seats since 2003, and their worst vote share in the party's 142-year history. The Progressive Conservatives made significant gains, with party leader Rob Lantz winning election to Charlottetown-Brighton, although the party fell short of winning an outright majority of seats, instead forming a minority government. The New Democratic Party, led by Michael Redmond, broke into the Legislative Assembly winning 8 seats and forming the Official Opposition in their best result since the 1996 general election. The Green Party, meanwhile, won 4 seats in the legislature, leader Peter Bevan-Baker elected to Kellys Cross-Cumberland, with three others in and around Charlottetown. No Party received over 30% of the vote, creating what some have referred to as a 'crisis of confidence' in Premier Rob Lantz minority administration.
