The Palmshire general election, May 2015, is an election to return members to serve in the House of Commons of the 7th Parliament of Palmshire to be summoned after the establishment of the Parliament in 2010. The 6th Parliament was dissolved on 21 April by King Legion I at request of Prime Minister Chris D after the Socialist government lost a vote on motion of no confidence tabled by the Duke of Cypress-Hollow the day before. Election immediately followed three days later. Socialist Party was returned to power, with no change in number of seats for either of two major political parties. Unlike the last general election, Socialist party also obtained majority of popular votes as well.
