Chancellor's New Right crushes Giletti's Conservatives in special election

Nicole Chancellor | Giovanni Giletti


STOCKHOLM, UNITED KINGDOM — The sixth of September was not a happy day for Giovanni Giletti and the Conservative Party, but it was for Nicole Chancellor and The New Right. On Tuesday, The New Right crushed the Conservative Party in the special election, making Nicole Chancellor the Leader of the Opposition and the Conservative Party the smallest right-wing party in the House of Country. Before the election, Giovanni Giletti was the Leader of the Opposition and the Conservative Party held eighteen seats. After the election, the Conservative Party held seven seats. Scott Walters of the Libertarian Party and Nicole Chancellor of The New Right would have been Co-Leaders of the Opposition, but Paul Silva of the National Party chose to caucus with The New Right, making The New Right the leading party in opposition.


When the special election was first called, polls showed the Conservative Party and The New Right were in a dead heat. After Chancellor's remarks about her political opponents and Emperor Albert I, polls showed that The New Right had even more support with a widening gap between the Conservative Party and The New Right. During this time, Giletti stuck to his ideology and tried to convince the right-wing electorate that "Chancellor's kind of politics [was] dangerous." However, it would do no help as The New Right would win sixty percent of the vote and clinched enough seats to take the office of Leader of the Opposition without Scott Walters becoming Co-Leader. After receiving the results of the election, Chancellor thanked her supporters for "coming out in numbers. We have ousted Giletti here in 2016, and we will do the same to Harrison in 2022."


Now that the election is over, Nicole Chancellor has appointed ten members of The New Right to the House of Country. Drew Tyler, the lone member of the National Party in the House of Country, gave Paul Silva the green light to essentially merge the National Party with The New Right, giving the latter a twelfth seat. There was a quid pro quo between Tyler and Chancellor that allowed Silva to remain in the House of Country as an appointee of Chancellor. In this move, Silva would keep his seat in the House of Country while Silva's twelfth seat would make Chancellor the sole Leader of the Opposition.


Giletti took to the phone to speak on Central News to say that "demagoguery won the election…For the next six years, conservatism in the United Kingdom is dead, and the blame will lie solely on [Nicole] Chancellor." On United News, Chancellor responded, "Those are the words of a sore loser and a person who did not receive the support of his electorate. Conservative populism, not elitism, has won the day…Mark 3 May, 2022 on your calendars, because that is the day that conservative populism will win the chancellorship." Several other party leaders took to the media to voice their disappointment with the election, including Chancellor Margaret Harrison, the leader of the Labor Party, "It's a sad day considering that we will now have twelve demagogues in the House of Country. The Conservative Party has my sympathy."
