	The October 3011 election was the first election not to be be contested by founding father Jaresh Inyo. Inyo had resigned as Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party in June. Many were surprised by the decision as Inyo was still extremely popular. His Conservative government had continued to do work to reduce poverty and increase jobs. His successor was his Deputy Prime Minister, Edward Jellico. Jellico was a strong Conservative and was seen as Inyo's natural successor. He became Prime Minister in ~~August~~ and announced that he would delay the next election to October in order to allow him to settle into the role. The new Prime Minister had high approvals and the Conservatives in general were in an extremely strong position. The Socialist Leader was still Karl Krussinich and he would have an extremely hard time defeating Edward Jellico.

	Karl Krussinich continued to argue for Universal Healthcare, however, this became less and less popular over time and by the time of the election, less than half of the country supported the idea.

	The May 3013 election was called by Prime Minister Renly Stork in order to give him a larger number of seats, even a majority, in order for him to do anything. The current parliamentary situation was that Prime Minister Stork had a weak government and so was unable to achieve much that he wanted to. The election was set as him against newly elected Conservative Leader Martin Banks~~. Banks was avidly opposed to the policies of Edward Jellico~~. Banks was touted as a potential leadership threat before the previous election as many preferred his approach to leadership. Now that Banks was leader, he had an opportunity to prove that he had the ability to project his brand of conservatism. Stork was not popular. He was fortunate to have been able to form a government however, many did not expect him to sail his way into a full term. The election resulted in another Hung assembly. However, this time the Conservatives had the numbers to form a minority government.

	The election resulted in another Hung Assembly, this time Audrick Hill's government was unable to maintain its majority. It quickly became clear that there would be the need for a new government, likely a coalition. The three major parties started negotiations. Tony Beck announced that, due to the failure to make gains, he would step down as Party Leader and that the Socialists wouldn't seek to form a government. Labour, on the other hand, heralded their gains and new support as "national mandate" for a left-of-centre government. While Audrick Hill attempted to negotiate with Labour and the Socialist parties to form a coalition himself, he was beaten out by Mark Edwin who formed a Labour/Socialist coalition and became Prime Minister. This was Audrick Hill's fourth and final general election as a party leader. This government had a majority of 4 seats.

			=== '''October 3020 (General)''' ===
			The October 3020 General Election took place on 30 October 3020 and elected the 24th Wiltshire National Assembly. Having been called by Prime Minister Sonya Inyo, the election became a referendum on the political scandal that had prematurely ended the Labour/Socialist coalition of Prime Minister Mark Edwin. The campaign was dominated by the controversy, with trust in politics becoming a major theme and issue of the election. Sonya Inyo was the daughter of founding Prime Minister Jaresh Inyo and was endorsed by Audrick Hill and Gaius Selan (the two men who were responsible for securing Wiltshirian independence). Her brand had grown into a household Wiltshirian brand, while Mark Edwin quickly became the face of instability and corruption. In addition, the election saw a fracturing in politics. The election had more political parties than had been seen since before independence, including the new right-wing United Wiltshire and Stability parties, as well as a new Liberal party and a new Christian Alliance party.

	In July 3009, Jaresh Inyo was appointed the first Prime Minister of the Republic of Wiltshire. Inyo, along with a number of the original founders, founded the National Party. The National Party was intended to a unifying political party in order to avoid the clear divisions that political parties had caused within the former UFP. The National Party was clear from the establishment of the first government; Wiltshire will be a democracy, and so once the government was fully functional, Jaresh Inyo called the first ever general election in Wiltshire's History. This election saw Inyo unchallanged for the leadership. He was extremely popular and was seen as the 'father' of the newly formed country. The National Party leadership only saw opposition from other National politicians such as William George. The National Party won every single seat in the National Assembly in this election. In an attempt to please the opposing National politicians, Jaresh Inyo formed the National Coalition, which brought together many who opposed him into his ranks. This National Coalition government is one of the best remembered as much of the infrastructure that build the new country (mostly trade) was thanks to it.

	The second election was the first as a result of the Assembly Act of 3009, which stated that elections must occure at least every 6 months. Since the last election, Prime Minister Jaresh Inyo's approval rating had been fluxuating. In October, the Socialist Party was founded behind the principle that a purely capitalistic system would not work. Even though they were not as left wing as some of the Socialist countries popping up around Doggerland at the time, the Socialist Party was on a clear path to win a large number of seats. Despite Inyo's work to increase trade, poverty became a real issue for many Wiltshirians in the latter part of 3009. Many could not afford healthcare and taxes were higher than many wanted because of the need to build up a military force. The Socialist's unofficial slogan: "If you're going to be taxed, at least get some healthcare out of it" was effective, which resulted them in gaining a large amount of popularity.

	The July 3010 election was caused by the legal dissolution of the National Assembly because of the 6 month term length max set by the Assembly Act of 3009. The election was a rematch between incumbent Prime Minister Thomas Shore and Conservative Leader Jaresh Inyo. Since the last election, the National Coalition collapsed. The Liberal aspects of the coalition were unwilling to continue to work with Inyo as they no longer believed Inyo could win. The National Coalition split into two parties; The Conservative Party and the Liberal Alliance Party. The Conservative Party's formation was a decision made by Inyo to counter the Socialists' clear 'wear your ideology on your sleeve' mentality.
