1787 Galcean Federal Election

The federal election of 1787 was the first federal election held in Galcea following the American-Galcean Revolution, which saw fourteen colonies in America declare their independence from Great Britain. Galcea rejected to join the United States, And instead formed a new constitutional monarchy. Famous congressmen, Henry Camble who lead Galcean troops to victory in the revolution, joined the Conservative Party. With his leadership, the Conservative Party won a landslide in the election with the opposition party only winning 2 seats in the Chamber of Senator.

Background
The creation of Galcea occurred after the colony of Galceas declaration of independence following the United States declaration of independence soon before. Galcea and the U.S. Fought side by side in the revolution, and ultimately came out on top in 1783. The Constitution of Galcea was ratified on 1786, and would guide the nation from then on.

As soon was the Constitution was ratified, political parties began to form. The first was the Conservative party, which was a defender of Tariffs, a national bank, and large government. The founder of the party, Edward Blackburn, initially was going to lead the party in the election, but when famous war hero Henry Camble announced his support for the party, most party members flocked to him to lead. Camble initially declined to run, instead wanting Blackburn to run, but with the convincing of the people, and even Blackburn himself, Camble decided to run.

The second party to form was the Liberal part. The party advocated for low tariffs, and small government. The party also was against the idea of a national bank. George Henry Rose and James Pitten founded the party in opposition to Blackburn. George Henry Rose lead the party in the election, and would be a popular face in the party.

All mainstream parties supported the charter of the constitution.
