Parliamentary America 2016 - An Election Night TL

[LLR]

Inspired by this thread.

Welcome to Election Night 2016! As we all know, the 5 major American parties are competing tonight to control the most of the 441 (current house districts + 5 for PR + 1 for DC) seats in the American Parliament.

First, the Social Democratic Party. After being led by Bernie Sanders for 10 years, Elizabeth Warren has taken the reins. They control few seats, mostly in the rural Northeast.

The Liberal Party also has a new leader. PM Barack Obama has stepped down in favor of Hillary Clinton. They have controlled the last 2 governments.

The Union Party, America's centrist party, are trying to make a comeback. They hold a middling amount of seats, but have strong bases around the country. Their leader, Claire McCaskill, replaced Joe Biden last election.

The Conservative Party, led by Paul Ryan, are currently the opposition.

Lastly, the Independence Party, or USIP. Their leader, Ted Cruz, may be the most hated man in America.

We will kick off this election night with returns from Kentucky's 4th and 5th districts and Indiana's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th districts.


Made a new thread because some people were being very critical.

The Union Forever! Hurrah Boys Hurrah! Down with the Liberals and up with the Star!

[LLR]

Welcome back. We are now able to show our first results of the night. First, we'll head to Kentucky.

KY-4
Mitch McConnell (inc.) 48.8%
Jerry Peluso 35.2%
William Adkins 16%

Conservative hold

KY-5
Hal Rogers(inc.) 72.4%
Jim Holbert 26%

Conservative hold

Those two seats are both held by conservative incumbents, no surprise that they won. Next, we have our first wave of a nationwide exit poll.

Union 30%
Liberal 27%
Conservative 22%
USIP 13%
SDP 8%

Again, these are early results and can change, but they are certainly striking.

Now, to Indiana's results.

IN-2
Joe Donnelly (inc.) 39.8%
Jackie Walorsky 21.2%
Mike Pence 36%

Union hold

Seems that disgraced former MP Mike Pence couldn't withstand the apparent Union wave that's happening.

IN-3
Tim Roemer (inc.) 53%
Marlin Stutzman 29%
Thomas Hayhurst 15.6%

Liberal hold

IN-4
Todd Rokita (inc.) (unopposed)

USIP hold

IN-5
Steve Buyer (inc.) 43%
Eric Holcomb 56.5%

Union gain from Conservative

IN-6
Luke Messer (inc.) 48.8%
Brad Bookout 50.2%

Union gain from USIP

IN-7
Andre Carson (inc.) 65.6%
Catherine Ping 29%

Liberal hold

IN-9

Trey Hollingsworth 41%
Shelli Yoder 31%
Greg Zoeller 14%
Robert Hall 5%
Bill Thomas 5%

Union gain from Conservative


This is the current seat count

Union 4
Conservative 2
Liberal 2
USIP 1

Of these seats, only 1 was previously held by Union. Conservative held 4, USIP held 2, and Liberal also held 2. This appears to be a great step for Union, who invested heavily in Indiana.


Thanks for reading!

I want a Trumpist and blue dog option, I obvs in a deluded world.

[Representative simossad]

Great timeline!

I want a Trumpist and blue dog option, I obvs in a deluded world.

Why is the Union Party not a blue dog option?

Why is USIP not a Trumpist option?

Why is the Union Party not a blue dog option?

Why is USIP not a Trumpist option?

Because the blue dogs would be more socially conservatives.

USIP, is not trumpist as trump and Cruz are no place to share a same party. Their ideologies are very, very different. In the UK it's a different scenario, that allows for the same kind of voters of coalesce, in the US, this cannot happen, due to different reasons.
