Local Elections 2011

The 2011 Local Elections came one year into the term of the incumbent Spring-Conservative Coalition. The Elections were to elect the 13 local authorities. The local elections came 2 months after the victory of the Labour Party in the Port Eleanor by-election which confirmed them as a potential competitor. This was at the height of Kurz-Dahlism as the incumbent government was able to extend it's authority to many authorities as it won big in the locals. This was also the first election where the Forum for Democracy and Blair Parties won seats in elected offices following the collapse of the previously dominant populist party the Veldenland Democratic Party which after a brief stint as the Veldenland Independence Party collapsed.

The Local Elections saw 5 councils go Conservative, 5 councils go under No Overall Control and 3 councils go under Spring. Following the election questions were asked about how a relatively unknown party in the Forum for Democracy were able to get so many votes is some districts when their name recognition was so low and many believe the death of the VDP before the election had an impact in giving FFD a boost which allowed them to arguably enter the mainstream. The Local Elections came inbetween a period of five by-elections and were the first local elections to be fought by all five parties.
