June 16th 2017 General Election

In June 16th, 2017. UKRP held its first every general election with two main contenders running for the highest job in the country. The Incumbent Prime minister, Alex Henderson, Led the at the time largest party, The Conservative party. And the Newly Elected Leader of the Opposition John McDonnell. During the Election the Labour Party ran on a relatively Left-Wing Agenda, and the Conservatives Ran on a Fairly Right-Wing (As Opposed to David Cameron or other Centrist Conservatives) Agenda with proposed changes to the NHS and other social services. Ultimately on Election night the Results ended up as a hung parliament with Labour Holding the most seats at 317 and the Conservatives Becoming the Official Opposition with 305 Seats. The Election is notable because it ended nearly 7 years of Conservative party rule and saw Scotland notably shift to the Labour Party and the Flipping of Croydon North to UKIP by the Short-Lived Winston Mckenzie.
