Overview
The incumbent Maanenland First party were seeking re-election for a third term in office and Alexander Jameson was seeking a second term as Lord Lieutenant of Maanenland. The Democratic Socialst Alliance under the stewardship of Lieutenant Michael Fletcher had a resurgance of popularity at the election following their crippling 1992/1993 and 1999 defeats as they specifically targeted declining ex-manufacturing areas. The Liberal Democratic Party of Maanenland had their support reduced as Maanenland First relaxed many laws and generally pursued a more liberal attitude. In seats where the Democratic Socialist Alliance posed a threat of taking a vital seat they allied with MF to ensure they did not get in power. The Maanenland Minority Movement however saw by far the greatest gains in the elections from people who felt left down over the governments lack of movement on protection of minorities and anti-immigrant policies.
There were many new parties that stood for election in 2005 particularlly on local issues. The Calder Nationalist Alliance and Oakshire Regionalist Party were examples of strong regional support for minor parties.
