The 2048 Australian Federal Election was a parliamentary election that took place on Saturday, 19 September 2048. Commonly called a "realigning election" by many political observers, it was won by the Andrew Burges-led Australian Nationalist Party (ANP) against the new opposition Australian Democratic Party (ADP), led by Walter Keyes. Meanwhile in the House of Representatives, Walter Keyes and the Democrats managed to secure a large portion of the distribution of seats, swaying voters away from the more "extreme" left and right wing parties; the Labor and Liberal National parties respectively.
