The game starts with a General Election conducted across a representative 16 constituencies with the player winning the greatest number of seats forming the initial Government. A further 16 constituencies are subsequently contested at a series of by-elections each of which may result in a change in the governing party. The winner is the first player to form a Government and obtain three "readings" for a legislative Bill enabling it to pass into law.
