Author: GOP Progressive
A non-confidence motion, backed by Ignatieff’s Liberals, Layton’s NDP, and Duceppe’s Bloc, has led to the fall of Prime Minister Harper’s Conservative government. Can the Liberals return to power after 5 years, or will Ignatieff’s calculations backfire, leading Harper to power and – this time – a majority? Will the NDP perhaps become Her Majesty’s Official Opposition? Can May’s Greens take their first seat in Parliament?

Despite fixed election legislation, Stephen Harper has called an election over a year early. With the Liberals in disarray, the Bloc Quebecois losing strength, and the NDP and Greens gaining strength at the expense of the Liberals, the conditions seem right for the Conservatives to win a majority. Will Harper preside over the first Conservative majority in a decade and a half?

Australia - 1996
“After 13 years of Labor government, the Liberal/National Coalition have gained strong traction on a message of focusing on more basic issues as opposed to Prime Minister Paul Keating’s emphasis on the so-called “Big Picture.” But given Keating’s victory in the supposedly “unwinnable” election of 1993, no one is counting Labor out as the campaign gets under way.”

Quebec - 1944
“The Premier, Adelard Godbout, seeks another term for his Liberal government. The Québec Liberal Party (PLQ) won a majority at the last election in 1939. The Union National (UN) are the official opposition. They are led by former Premier, Maurice Duplessis. His center-right government was in power from 1936-39. A new center-left party has entered the political arena – the Bloc populaire canadien (BPC). They are led by André Laurendeau.”

Astaria - 2010
“Astaria is one of the more populous micronations in the Latin realms, but with a struggling and fragile democracy. Although a political backwater for most of its history, Astaria has discovered a new importance in the global economy and in geopolitics. However, its current government has fallen and the President has called early elections due to rising political instability and a polarizing miner’s strike. Will the forces of socialism finally emerge triumphant, or will the neo-liberal consensus remain in power or will a new political force emerge?”

Author: Principled Conservative
“After winning a second minority government in 2006, Paul Martin, close to being implicated in the sponsorship scandal, just hopes to hang on. The Conservative Party has fallen on tough times with several key defections to the new Progressive Canadian Party. The PCP has managed to field a strong slate of candidates and raised significant amounts of money. They are hoping to form government after this election. The NDP and the Bloc have united the Left which could thrust them into contention for the government as well.”

“Loosely based on the long-running micronation known as Cyberia (http://vcc.4mg.com), a small, fledgling parliamentary democracy is holding elections for the first time. Will they elect as their Prime Minister a labor-backed hero of independence, a unifier of groups opposed to the new constitution, a popular liberal professor, or a radical farmer bent on secession for indigenous peoples, or someone else entirely?”
