February 7th, 5559

Celebration of Anya Turner's (NLP) electoral victory in close seat in Willington, upsetting the Tory incumbent, Daniel Upkins.

Fort William - Yesterday, as Luthori went to vote, political pundits were lurking into one simple possibility, all polls predicted that, even 1 year ago, the National Labour Party’s electoral victory would be tonight. What they were searching for was the size of that victory. A year, a poll from the Luthorian polling institution LPA [Luthorian Polling Analytics], hinted that the National Labour could win 319 seats in the Imperial Diet, yet today, it seems that polls were mostly correct in their assessment of the Labour’s victory, yet also underestimated Mr. Carol’s campaign. At 10 pm yesterday, when the exit polls first appeared, it seemed that the Labour landslide that was predicted did come to fruition, with the National Labour Party being projected at winning 320 to 350 out of the 529 seats in the Imperial Diet, something that was never properly considered by polls or analysts before the election. While polls have refined themselves during the entirety of the night, when the next morning came. Luthori woke up with a Labour-dominated Parliament, with 331 seats being held by the Labour Party, out of the 529 comprising the Imperial Diet. This crushing victory over the Conservatives, which only won 136 seats was widely celebrated through the night by Labour supporters, Mr. Carol, in the aftermath of his election victory, held a rally in downtown Fort William, next to the constituency where he was re-elected for the third time. Holding a speech during this “victory rally”, the enthusiastic Leader of the Opposition, soon-to-be Prime Minister said the following sentences in reaction to his party’s victory.

"People have said that the National Labour Party, our movement, was doomed to remain in opposition. [audience starts booing] They said that it was impossible for us to win any election, whether it is at the local level or the national level. They said the Tory Party was too powerful, too big to fail. Yet, today, the Luthorian people sent to these people a resounding message. A resounding no. No, the Tory Party, the Conservatives were not ‘too big to fail’, the people proved that today. They gave a solid mandate to the National Labour Party to apply our manifesto. The people wanted change. They created that change. [audience starts clapping] 

They gave themselves the opportunity for a clear change in governance by giving to our party a resounding majority of 70 seats in the Imperial Diet! Today is a new dawn for our nation, the former establishment has been crushed by the people’s will. The Tories lie defeated, while the National Labour rose from the ashes that we found her into when we took over. Our government will be a government of the people, for the people, by the people and we’ll tackle the issues plaguing our nation at the very moment when Her Majesty the Empress appoints me as her first Labour Prime Minister. [audience starts cheering and clapping] 

The issues that we must tackle today are immense, from poverty to decaying cities and neighborhoods, from critical issues with both our education and healthcare system. This is not a work that will or should be done in 5 years. But this work will be tackled by this government, regardless of whether or not we succeed or not. But I assure you, we’ll fight for a better future for Luthorians regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. All of them shall receive a better future after this administration. May God preserve this nation and may God protect you all. Thank you very much.”

Celebrations, as stated earlier continued through the night to celebrate the upcoming Labour administration, while on the other side of the aisle, the Conservative Party, recovering from the devastation that was the election came to quickly realize that their 30-year long reign over Luthori’s governmental apparatus came to an end. Mr. Grapher, Prime Minister, was not standing for this election, as he’s a member of the Imperial Senate, after the devastating electoral losses that his party suffered during this year’s elections, with the Tories over 57 % of their seats, more than half of them. Lord Holdenburg was forced, amid his electoral loss, to express himself to the public in the aftermath of the Labour leader’s speech. While his speech wasn’t as celebrating obviously as the one from the Labour leader, his speech was still one that gave hope to most Conservative supporters.

“Fellow countrymen, fellow Conservative members and supporters,

Today, the Luthorian people voted our party out of power, while it has been predicted by many analysts and polls during the last years and weeks. We still fought on to prevent what many thought impossible. Yet, after all our efforts, we still lost. Yet, for all Conservative members and candidates who campaigned all around the country, this fight wasn’t for nothing. You’ve fought and tried your best to win this election, even though you’ve lost, this is not the end for both our party and our movement. After all, we may have lost today, but we can still win in 5, 10 or even 15 years from now. The road will be arduous, but the results may be the most beautiful yet.

To all Luthorians, first let me congratulate Mr. Carol and the National Labour Party for their victory, while disappointing for my party, you and your party fought a hard long campaign which bore its fruits with the rewards of victory. While I’ll not be here to see the results of your governance, I may only hope for the best for this country. Finally, I must, due to this electoral loss, announce my resignation as Prime Minister which I’ll tender to Her Majesty, the Empress tomorrow and Leader of the Conservative Party. [...]”

Mr. Grapher saw Her Majesty the Empress this morning after delivering his last remarks, alongside his wife and family to the Press at the Prime Minister’s Residence at 10 Crown Street. He went to the Palace to tender his resignation to Her Majesty which accepted his resignation over the grounds that he could no longer lead a functional governmental majority in the Imperial Diet and Senate. The Palace then invited Mr. Carol came to an Audience with Her Majesty, which everyone knew would be about him taking over the Office of Prime Minister. After meeting with the Empress, Mr. Carol came down to the gates of the Palace, announcing proudly that “Her Majesty the Empress asked me to form a government in Her name, and I’ve accepted.”, this marks the beginning of the Carol Ministry, and as for the Conservatives, a serious reconsideration "is currently underway", according to one spokesperson's words.

Luthori is Red. Leading Luthoria to the future is the National Labour Party.
