2016 Canadish parliamentary election

The 2016 Canadish parliamentary election was held on the 21st of August, 2016. The Social Democratic Party, with it's new leader, Mark Gänston, defeated both Conservative Jon Dickinson and incumbent Dani de Launay of the Good Party.
The 2016 election was affected heavily by the ebola outbreak in South Auritadia and North Belka, heavily affecting the election, it's date, and it's outcome. While the Conservatives did do well early on in the polls, a controversy regarding the Conservatives and voter fraud led to a large swing of votes in the SDP's favour, particularly in rural communities.
The SDP registered a large number of votes in 2016. However, despite their victories in several voting blocks, the SDP only recieved 44.7% of the vote, and 89 of the seats in parliament, 11 off from the total needed for a majority. They needed the votes of their coalition partner, the PCGC, for a bare working majority in the Parliament.
