The Second December 2025 General Election was held from the 5th to the 9th December 2025, as a result of the previous December Elections' inability to declare a clear winner after lengthy negotiations. It was the fourteenth election held under the electoral system known as the Romefeller Method adopted by the Representation of the People Act 2024. It resulted in an election victory for the Unionist-Green Coalition, that saw August Carew, 2nd Earl of Strathmore returned to Number Ten.

Both the Unionist Party and the Green Sovereignty Party increased their seats in Parliament, with the latter overtaking the Progressive Commonwealth Party on vote count. The gamble to secure an outright victory by the PCP, along with their Independent coalition partners, the Scottish National Party, and League of Independent and Optimistic Nationals backfired, with the PCP seeing a decreased vote count, and the SNP and LION failing to be elected. Wilberforce Cholmondeley, running for the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, campaigned on the basis of not being elected: in reality, he beat two major parties and was elected as an MP. Two Independents were elected: Frederick Urquhart, the incumbent Speaker of the House of Commons, and Philip Wright, the latter achieving the most votes of any candidate.

This election marked the fourth win in a row for the Unionists, the fourth time such a stretch of dominance has occured: the Unionists had already achieved this once, making them the only party to secure the coveted "four-in-a-row" twice. They also broke the record for most elections won, this being their ninth. They previously tied with the British Workers' Party.
