1842 Galcean Federal Election

1842 Galcean federal election
Federal elections were held in Galcea on August 15, 1842 to elect all 501 members to the Galcean Chamber of Senators.

As soon as Edward K. Douglas was sworn in, the people of Galcea knew it would be a bumpy year. He did not serve even a year until an election would be called, the second time this would ever happen. Douglas was deeply unpopular in Parliament, and was extremely poor at navigating parliament. It was also soon found out of his corruption in office, and him handing out jobs in office due to connections. Though, by the time of the election, all of the details would not be known. William Henry Rose, the son of George Henry Rose, was chosen as the Liberal Parties leader. William was known to be extremely anti-big business, and was highly unfavorable to monopolies. He was also a supporter of the income tax, and a defender of Franklin Dickinson. He won the nomination of the party with the help of his father.

Results
With no surprise to any, The Liberals won the election in a landslide, trouncing the Conservatives and causing a rift in the Conservative Party.
