Enderronian federal election, 1974

A federal election was held in Enderron on Saturday 19 October 1974 to elect the 125 members of the 8th Enderronian Parliament. It was held concurrently with two referendums, one on daylight saving and one on speed limits.

The incumbent Social Democratic Party government, led by Prime Minister Calvin Rhinehart, defeated the opposition United Party, led by Alex Holthe, and retained a substantial majority, although much reduced from the previous election. It was the first time a Social Democratic majority government was re-elected, and only the second time since 1911 where the major conservative party lost two elections in a row. Additionally, the New Democratic Party returned to parliament by winning a seat at a federal election for the first time since 1962, with leader Susan Liew narrowly winning the seat of Chung'an.

Prime Minister Calvin Rhinehart was hugely popular during his first years in office, but his government began to lose its shine after suffering through the 1973 oil crisis and 1973–1975 recession. The soaring inflation and unemployment rate created a difficult environment for the Social Democrats and an opportunity for United to make gains. The SDP government largely campaigned on the personal popularity of Rhinehart, the continued implementation of its progressive and reformist agenda, and steering Enderron out of recession through its Keynesian economic platform. While the United opposition focused on the SDP's failure to act quickly during the crisis and questioned the government's economic credentials, voters remained doubtful of the United Party's alternative platform; on the most part the public was satisfied with the Rhinehart Government's direction and there was little mood for a change in government. Ultimately, United was able to take 15 seats off the Social Democrats, mostly in areas of United heartland lost during the 1970 landslide. The SDP suffered a 3.3 percent TPP swing, but the damage was cushioned by the large majority it won at the previous election.

This election saw the election of the first two Asian Enderronian women to parliament: Susan Liew of the NDP, and Rei Nagasawa of the United Party. Liew's brother, Marcel, was also elected to parliament at this election, making them the first pair of siblings to serve together in parliament since James and Robert Canley in 1930.
