The 2010 Victorian election presents a pivotal moment as voters across the state head to the polls, this campaign sees the incumbent Labor government, led by Premier John Brumby, striving to secure a fourth consecutive term and the first of his own, should Brumby succeed, The Liberal-National Coalition, under the leadership of Ted Baillieu, aims to capitalize on key issues like public transport, law and order, and the economy, with a focus on battleground seats, the election promises to be closely fought, capturing the attention of both local and national audiences, all eyes are now on Victoria to see which party will emerge victorious and shape the state’s future, Will John Brumby succeed in winning his own mandate or will Baillieu succeed in bringing back the Liberal-National Coalition back to power after the defeat of the Kenneth government 11 years earlier?
This election is set to be one of the most pivotal in recent Australian history. With the nation grappling with the aftermath of a global pandemic, economic uncertainties, and pressing climate concerns, the stakes have never been higher.
The incumbent Liberal-National Coalition, led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, faces a formidable challenge from the Labor Party under Anthony Albanese,As Australians head to the polls, key issues such as healthcare, education, and energy policy will dominate discussions.
The political landscape is further complicated by the rise of minor parties and independents, who are poised to play a crucial role in the outcome.
Voters are increasingly looking for alternatives that address their specific concerns, making this election a true test of the major parties’ ability to connect with the electorate.
Can Labor end its almost decade-long opposition and usher in a new era of governance, or will the Coalition secure another term, continuing their current policies?
This election is set to be a pivotal moment for New South Wales. As voters head to the polls, the stakes are high with Dominic Perrottet and the Liberal Party vying to secure another term amidst challenges and a strong opposition led by Chris Minns of the Labor Party, issues ranging from healthcare and education to infrastructure and housing affordability dominate the campaign, reflecting the diverse concerns of the electorate.
Labor is determined to end 12 years in opposition, presenting a renewed vision for the state and promising significant reforms. Chris Minns and his team are capitalizing on growing dissatisfaction with the current government, hoping to ride a wave of change similar to the federal election results, Labor challenge is significant there have only been two instances since World War II where Labor has won government from the opposition in New South Wales.
Smaller parties and independents also play a crucial role in this election, The Greens continue to push their environmental and social justice agenda, while the potential for a “teal wave”—inspired by the recent federal election—adds another layer of complexity. These independent candidates, often focusing on climate action and political integrity, could disrupt traditional voting patterns and influence key electorates.
The current government is the last of its kind in mainland Australia. After losing popular premier Gladys Berejiklian, can Perrottet hold off the red wave and stop it in New South Wales? Or will Minns deliver Labor to government after 12 years in the wilderness?
The 1998 Queensland state election is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and hard-fought political contests in recent history. With a diverse array of parties and candidates vying for power, the race is wide open, and the outcome is far from certain.
The incumbent National-Liberal coalition government, which unexpectedly gaining power in 1996, is now battling to maintain its grip on power. Meanwhile, the center-left Labor Party is mounting a strong challenge, while the controversial right-wing populist One Nation party led by Pauline Hanson is making a serious push to gain a foothold in the state parliament. Smaller players like the Australian Democrats and Greens are also hoping to leverage voter discontent to secure crucial seats.
The stakes are high, with the future direction of Queensland’s policies on crucial issues like gun reform, indigenous rights, immigration, and the economy all hanging in the balance. Analysts predict record voter turnout as Queenslanders grapple with a complex and consequential set of choices.
With millions of dollars in campaign spending, fiery rhetoric, and shifting alliances, the 1998 Queensland election promises to be a dramatic and defining moment in the state’s political landscape. The final results could reverberate across the country, making this one of the most closely watched state elections in recent memory.
Who will lead Queensland into the new century?
South Australians once again find themselves at a pivotal moment, as they prepare to cast their votes and determine the direction of the state for the next term. The Weatherill Labor government is seeking an unprecedented fifth term in office after a tumultuous last four years rocked by scandals, political turmoil, and statewide blackouts. However, lingering discontent over the energy crisis and cost of living pressures have given momentum to Leader Steven Marshall’s Liberal opposition in their quest to regain Government House. Into this scenario has emerged the insurgent SA Best party led by Former Senator Nick Xenophon, tapping into frustrations but lacking a history of governance. With preferences set to play a major role once more, SA Best is hoping to hold the balance of power regardless of who wins the largest share of the vote, Whoever emerges victorious on March 17 will inherit enormous responsibility to stabilize the budget, stimulate new jobs, and regain public trust in politics at a critical juncture for the state. Once the dust settles after another tightly fought campaign, who will earn the opportunity to lead South Australia bravely into the next decade?
This election unpredictable nature can offer some historic results:
Alt-History Mod Alert!
In 1933, West Australians voted in favor of secession from Australia, in the midst of the Depression. After the Western Australian delegation’s petition was accepted by the UK Parliament, the flag of the federation was lowered in Perth and replaced by the Blue Ensign, officially ending the federation between Western Australia and the Australian Federation. 17 years on, the country had moved on and prospered under the boom created by the expansion of the agriculture industry and the mining industry, spurred by the economic policy of the Latham government, which had been in power since 1939. The Prime Minister had decided to call a double dissolution election to advance his agenda, after the Senate kept blocking his legislation to ban the Communist Party, which had continued to grow since the end of the war. Labor, under the new leadership of Frank Wise, hoped to retake government after a series of losses and try to convince Western Australia it was time for change. Meanwhile, a new party emerged as a result of Labor’s left pivot and the NCA’s long rule – the Liberal Democratic Party, led by Oscar Wells, the most famous mining magnate in Western Australia. The party hoped to provide a political home for the Social Liberals and Fiscal Conservatives who might be alienated by the two-party system.

It’s time for New Zealanders to decide the country’s future once again! After 9 years of leadership by John Key through both good and bad times, he has decided to retire from politics, handing over the reigns of power to his deputy and former leader Bill English. What seemed like a cakewalk to victory has turned into a battle of popularity and experience, as Andrew Little suddenly resigned as Labour leader just weeks before election day. Labour decided to coalesce around the young and charismatic Jacinda Ardern, electing her as their new leader. Coming from mid-20% polls, Ardern has a big task ahead of her to overcome. How will New Zealand decide?
The election’s unique nature allows for some hypothetical scenarios:
Because of the lack of an MMP system in PMI, we decided to get a little creative by converting the list seats into actual electorate seats. You can battle it out here in the marginal seats, which are basically voters who are undecided but voted for said party last time and might be able to be persuaded to vote for you this time around. To make it a tad bit more realistic, I have made it as hard as possible for you to get the “Base” Party support seats – for example, the National has 12 “Base seats” which would be hard to get. Every party that makes it into the threshold in the 2014 election has this. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we can do under the circumstances.
After Spain elected its most fragmented parliament ever in 2015, and the failure of the major parties to negotiate a coalition, a new election was called for in 2016, and with a stagnant economy, regional instability, corruption scandals and Brexit fresh in the mind of voters, it was anyones election to win. The main 2 contenders, as always, were the centre-right PP under Mariano Rajoy and the centre-left PSOE under Pedro Sanchez, but this time, the left wing Unidas Podemos alliance under Pablo Iglesias posed a real threat to the 2 party system, with some even predicting PSOE to fall to third place as the party bickers amongst itself. So, will the two party system survive? Will government deadlock continue? Will regional seperatism continue to make gains around Spain? Most importantly, who will become the new Prime Minister of Spain?
