Craftian general election, 1953

A general election was held on Saturday, 7 November 1953 to determine the members of the 5th Provincial Parliament of the Province of Craftia. The centre-left National Labour Party, led by Allen Wilson, won a landslide majority over the governing centre-right National Party of Craftia and right-wing Protection of Craftia Party, led by Premier William McArthur and John Anderson respectively. Labour won a majority of 25 seats, while the Nationals and Protection, who campaigned separately despite governing in a coalition since 1951, were both knocked down to single-digit seat totals. The left-wing Communist Party of Craftia lost its remaining seat and was never returned to the legislature again, dissolving in 1954.

Labour's proportion of seats is the largest since its own landslide victory in 1945, and no party has won by such a large margin since. In addition, its proportion of the popular vote has only been surpassed once since, by the Craftian Conservative Party in the 1998 election.
