Australian federal election, September 2019

The Australian federal election, September 2019 will be held on 28 September 2019. The incumbent United Democratic government will be opposed by the Liberal and National parties in opposition. The South Gippsland Network, Australian Labor Party and Social Democratic Party will also likely contest the election.

Background
Yala Talama of the ABC stated after the final declaration that "Unless UDP and Liberals choose to form a Grand Coalition, the outcome of this parliament will fall on the supplementary election." The aforementioned grand coalition would have 10 out of 15 MPs, however, shortly after the election, Manly-Kitten, MP for Cowper, defected to the Agrarian Party. Shortly afterwards, the Agrarian Party and the Australian Greens officially applied for a merger with the Australian Electoral Commission under the name of the Australian Labor Party, although a party under the name of the Australian Labor Party is still registered. Under this, Manly-Kitten would become the party leader, Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne his deputy, and FinePorpoise the party chairman. The party was ultimately registered. Under the situation, the crossbench essentially held the balance of power. The United Democrats needed require 3 or more crossbench partners to form government, while the Liberals would need 4 or more. This figure would have been decreased by 1 depending on who wins the Sydney supplementary election. On 29 July 2019, dyljam was appointed Prime Minister and a member of the executive council by President RunasSudo. On 1 August 2019, Liberal senator DavidSwifty resigned, claiming to be 'an illegal immigrant named Juan' being chased down. A casual vacancy was created and filled as a result of this by the Liberal Party, who appointed LeChevalierMal-Fait. On 3 August 2019, Liberal candidate Riley8583 won the Sydney supplementary election, August 2019. On 4 August 2019, the South Gippsland Network successfully applied to rename to the Australian Progressives. The Socialist Party of Australia who still held a seat in the Senate at the time, were also deregistered by request, with leader NGSpy joining the Australian Progressives. On 11 August 2019, AussieConservative, Riley8583, and superpacman04, MP for Hotham registered the National Party of Australia. The Liberal Party announced they would work with the National Party in an opposition coalition. rhaums, independent Senator for New South Wales, was referred to the High Court for inactivity on 7 August 2019. On 15 August 2019, rhaums was expelled and her seat went to countback as the party she was elected under- the Socialist Party of Australia- no longer existed. The matter was then that of the Australian Electoral Commission, which initially elected bongznbeerz, number 2 on the Socialist ticket, however, they failed to inform the Electoral Commission of their acceptance of the seat, and so another countback occured, electing hk-laichar, former MP for Cowper and the lead candidate for the Australian Greens at the May 2019 federal election. hk-laichar had since joined the Australian Progressives, who, as a result of this, gained their first senator. On 21 August 2019, The Australian Whigs were voluntarily deregistered. On 22 August 2019, cabinet minister and MP for Lingiari DirtySaiyan resigned as an MP and was appointed as a Justice of the High Court. This triggered a by-election in his seat of Lingiari for 7 September 2019. On 25 August 2019, MattMonti's SA-BEST rebranded to Change Australia: The Independent Group. On 28 August 2019, the Australian Progressives merged into the Australian Labor Party, with AnswerMeNow1 and Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne serving as co-leaders of the united party, and Manly-Kitten serving as chairman. The merger is yet to be processed by the Australian Electoral Commission. On 3 September 2019, Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne resigned as MP for Cunningham, triggering a by-election. On 6 September 2019, AussieConservative left the Senate and was replaced by Lieselta, who served for 6 days before leaving for medical reasons and being replaced by ellielia. On 7 September 2019, DexterAamo was elected as MP for Lingiari. On the following day, Change Australia: The Independent Group was deregistered. On 11 September 2019, Bsharri resigned as MP for Pearce, triggering a by-election. On 12 September 2019, AnswerMeNow1 re-registered the South Gippsland Network. On the same day, former Prime Minister Youmaton and MattMonti, alongside others, refounded the Social Democratic Party. On 16 September 2019, Parliament was dissolved and an election called for 28 September 2019. As a result of this, the Cunningham and Pearce by-elections were cancelled. JaydenDaGamer15, MP for Robertson, also joined the Social Democratic Party.
