abstract
| - The United States of Britain Presidential Election, 2000 was held on November 7th, 1996 to elect the next President of the USB. The contest was between incumbent Democratic President Tony Blair, Republican challenger William Hague, and Libertarian Charles Kennedy. It was dubbed "the quiet landslide" by the media, as Blair was re-elected with another landslide result, though with significantly lower turnout than before – 59.4%, compared to 71.3% in the previous election. The Republicans under William Hague was still deeply divided on the issue of Europe and the party's policy platform was considered to have shifted to a right-wing focus. Hague was also hindered by a series of embarrassing publicity stunts.
