Australian Federal Election, 2056 (The Realignment)

The 2056 Australian Federal Election was a parliamentary election that took place on the 9 September 2056 to decide the members of parliament for 2056-2059. Contested in the midst of a national economic collapse, it saw the incumbent Nationalist party fall to its lowest amount of seats in over a decade, whilst also seeing the opposition Democratic/Progressive coalition rise to its highest amount of seats in its history.

The breakaway New Australia party (founded in opposition to Andrew Burges' economic policy) led by the former Nationalist Deputy Arthur Dunne, experienced a similar rise in seats, all at the expense of the Nationalists.
