HBC CONTINUING LIVE COVERAGE - ELECTION 5642
Vanessa:
Alright folks welcome back. I'm Vanessa Taylor and we are continuing our coverage of Election night 5642. Let's turn to Adelia. Adelia is the true Conservative heartland and Hutori's most populous province. Of the one hundred fifteen seats total across the province, at dissolution, the Conservatives held seventy eight of them. National Labour was in second at seventeen, the Liberals held eleven, Greens seven and the Republicans three. Marie Kincaid spent all of her time in this province, hoping the conservative slant of Adelia would either secure her additional seats, or put something into the Senate. Let's see those results.
House Results – Adelia (116 seats):
Vanessa:
Let’s be clear; the entire race for Adelia was a fight for second. No one was expecting to catch the Conservatives here. Prime Minister Woodbury was easily re-elected in her riding of Acton Groomsbridge with 83% of the vote.
Arthur:
And the numbers don’t lie. This was a message to the country. After a rough year, war and all, the people of Adelia still trust Woodbury’s Conservatives more than everyone else combined. There’s no splintering here, the Conservatives grabbed 52% of the total vote across the province. This wasn't even close.
Jasmyn:
Not to mention, they picked up three ridings in the foothills north of Glentingham that were supposed to be “in play.” Labour never showed up. Liberals ran ghost campaigns. The Republicans were supposed to be the opposition, and it looks like they just folded to the Conservative juggernaught.
Arthur:
One of those seats; MacCallum Valley East, a Green-Labour fight turned nasty in the final week over infrastructure approvals. Labour’s vote collapsed, Greens held—but the Tories walked right up the middle and won it by 700 votes. I can promise that the Conservatives are likely eccastic that not only did their monsterious majority in the province hold, but expanded on top of that, including taking half of the seats available in the Senate.
Vanessa:
With those 81 seats adding onto their total in the House and the six additional seats in the Senate, HBC is prepared to make the following projections:
PROJECTION: THE CONSERVATIVES WILL FORM A MAJORITY GOVERNMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
PROJECTION: THE CONSERVATIVE WILL FORM THE LARGEST PARTY IN THE SENATE
Vanessa:
Prime Minister Rosalyn Woodbury is going to secure a historic third majority mandate. Whether it'll be smaller or bigger remains to be seen, but with HBC projecting at least forty seats in at least in both Lagard and Falristan the opposition parties can't catch.
The fight is now on for who will form the Official Opposition, and who will serve as the de-facto true opposition in the Senate. Before we go to the mountains of Lagard let's review the current total seat counts.
Total House of Commons Seats:
Jasmyn: Conservatives still in clear control, and the fight for Official Opposition still very much in the air in the House. National Labour holds a ten seat lead over their competitors, but Lagard and Falristan are two provinces where the Greens and Liberals respectfully were polling well. We'll see if that's enough to close the gap. The Conservatives also have a very clear edge in the Senate, though, with only twenty four Senate races left to call, I don't think they'll win seventeen of them, so the Senate will be an interesting spot to look to. The Opposition is extremely even in the Senate.
Vanessa:
Thanks Jasmyn, alright folks let's go the mountains and see where else this election will take us.
Lagard is a truly fascinating province. Mountain locked on all sides, and probably the single strongest province for the Greens. Provinicially they've held the Premiers Office since the 5620s, through various coalition governments or supply and confidence agreements, but always the largest party. It's a different story at the federal level where, despite their strength, they have struggled to make real headway. At dissolution, the Conservatives held twenty five seats, the Greens eleven, National Labour seven and the Liberals two. But with the Senate now in play we can see if the Conservative power comes from simply voter effiiency or real long term strength in the province. Let's see the results.
House Results – Lagard (46 seats):
Vanessa:
Okay, okay. You can say it—this was a Green flex. They picked up a pair of seats, both at the expense of the Conservatives. The Conservatives still hold the most seats, but the Greens actually made breakthroughs while National Labour and the Liberals kept what they held.
Arthur Koresh:
Let’s be clear: the Greens here and proved what we already knew; they are strong in the province. They picked up 5 of the seats in the Senate, that has got to feel good for Jason LeClerc, but also likely raises some eyebrows on how ruthlessly efficient the Conservative GOTV game is. This is where the Greens have proven they aren’t just a protest vote—they’re a governing party in waiting. Someday.
Jasmyn Ilari:
But the Tories didn’t roll over. They still hold 23 seats. This is not a green sweep. I think it goes to show the staying power of the Conservatives and Rosalyn Woodbury specifically, she had fairly deep ties to the province; she's an alumn of the University of Constantine, she's good friends with Princess Charlotte. As long as she's at the helm of the party, they can't be counted out.
Arthur:
I've got to say that the Liberals and National Labour only held the line and only took three of the Senates available says they are stagnant here. Lagard might be safely moved into a Green camp from here on out.
Vanessa:
The polls are about to close in Falristan, Hutori's final province, but let's take a look at the current overall standings.
Total House of Commons Seats:
Arthur:
Not major movement, but definitely movement here. Conservatives are actually up net one, despite taking some losses, due to further crippling the Republicans. National Labour is continuing to slide, though they do poll reasonably well in Falristan, and the Greens have traditionally struggled there, so I don't think they'll catch them. I know the Liberals are extremely anxious. I think Jack Delamont is counting on a big night in Falristan to reverse his fortunes and at least spring ahead of the Greens again. Whatever else happens they likely won't form the Official Opposition, but if the Liberals don't claw into the Conservatives seats here, we may be about to write his political eulogy.
Jasmyn:
This is also the fifth straight province where the Republicans failed to make any breakthroughs into the Senate. Falristan is their last chance to have any form of breakthrough, anywhere in the country. If they fail to get to that theshold, they'll be the only party without both Official Party Status or any presence in the Senate.
Vanessa:
Thanks you to. Alright let's take a peek at Falristan; Hutori's prarie province used to be one of the most reliable Liberal provinces in the nation, but since the rise of Rosalyn Woodbury it quickly became another redoubt for the Conservatives. At dissolution they dominated with twenty nine seats in the province. National Labour was in second with fifteen, the Liberals with eleven and the Greens with six. Let's see the results as they pour in.
House Results – Falristan (62 seats):
Vanessa:
So here’s the scoop. Conservatives continue to dominate the flatlands and around Carter City. But those foothill ridings? Surprise flips to the Liberals. The Conservatives would actually be down if it weren't for three pick ups from Labour, in their few remaining rural bastions.
Arthur:
Still, it’s not enough to shift the balance. Labour hemorrhaged votes in rural ridings, and the Greens couldn’t punch through outside of Eskerwood Foothills, where they keep eking out wins by skin-of-their-teeth margins. They've got some influence still in the north around Corktown.. but that's it.
Jasmyn:
The big story here is the Republican collapse. They had three competitive ridings in 5638. They won zero this time. In Falristan? That’s death, and this was their last chance to get any wins on the board. That's the story for the Republicans.
One riding we observed was South Keswick Plains was a fight between a Kensington-backed Liberal rookie and a strong Labour candidate. The Liberal won with 23 votes. A full recount is expected, but it doesn’t matter. The symbolism is clear: Labour’s rural relevance is dying in real time and it's occured all over the country.
FINAL SEAT COUNTS
Party | House | Change | Senate Tally
Conservatives | 191 | +2 | 30
National Labour | 58 | -6 | 13
Green | 48 | +4 | 16
Liberals | 42 | +3 | 13
Republicans | 4 | -3 | 0
Vanessa Taylor:
That’s the game, folks. Prime Minister Rosalyn Woodbury's Conservatives have gone onto their third majority mandate, and even stronger mandate then former Prime Minister Robert Calloway pulled off on his third mandate. National Labour under Evelyn Markham will remain as the principal Opposition in the House, though they are tied for third in the Senate. The Greens are continuing to make gains across the country, and it looks like the Liberal spiral we saw since Michael Kensington has begun to reverse itself, and the Republicans are on life support, we do not see a world where they will make a comeback.
Stay tuned tomorrow for our Post Election coverage. I'm Vanessa Taylor and thank you for tuning in. Good night Hutori.
