1853 Galcean Federal Election

1853 Galcean federal election
Federal elections were held in Galcea on July 15, 1853 to elect all 501 members to the Galcean Chamber of Senators.

Daniel A. Scott was widely a respected Prime Minister. He was able to work well with parliament to pass legislation, and was able to unite his own party. He was able to pass a civil service reform bill, and moderately raised tariffs. Though, the most important part of his premiership was the war of 1853. Where the Kingdom of Kortaine, intending to take a chunk of Galcea for a strategic sea route, invaded Galcea. Scott called upon 25 thousand troops, but 45 thousand took up arms. The war still went on during the election, with both parties supporting the war.

The Liberals officially rejected William Henry Roses beliefs when they nominated Andrew Blackburn as the parties leader. A protégé of George Henry Rose, he was a prominent leader of the Classical Liberal majority in the Liberal Party. As a member of parliament, he constantly took action against the Progressives in his party, and famously challenged William Henry Rose to a duel in parliament.
