1813 Galcean Federal Election

1813 Galcean Federal Election
Federal elections were held in Galcea on October 13, 1813 to elect all 501 members to the Galcean Chamber of Senators.

The Conservative party led by Prime Minister Edward B. Bordon narrowly retained their majority in congress after the unpopular war of 1812 shook the country and by the Democratic-Liberal parties reunification.

On 18 June 1812, President of the United States, James Madison, Declared war on the United Kingdom. The declaration of war was controversial in Galcea, but Prime Minister Edward B. Bordon sided with Madison and the U.S. and declared war soon after. The Democrats and Liberals, united in their cause to end the war, reunited to stop the war and the Conservatives. After a long process, the youngest son of former Prime Minister William Henry Rose took control of the party. William, unlike his father, was far more sympathetic with the Democrats, and would call himself "Neither a Liberal or Democrat, but a Democratic-Liberal".
