Landslide victory
Résumé
A landslide victory is an election result in which the victorious candidate or party wins by an overwhelming margin. The term became popular in the 1800s to describe a victory in which the opposition is "buried", similar to the way in which a geological landslide buries whatever is in its path. What constitutes a landslide varies by the type of electoral system. Even within an electoral system, there is no consensus on what sized margin makes for a landslide.
2011 Argentine general election – Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of the Front for Victory won a second term as President of Argentina in a landslide victory. She received 54.11% of votes, while no other candidate received more than 16.81%.
1951 Argentine general election – The Peronist Party won 90% of the seats in the Chamber of deputies and 100% of the Senate, while Juan Perón was reelected president with a 31% margin.

Local and mayoral elections:
2008 Brisbane City Council election – The Liberal Party won a landslide victory over the Labor Party. Campbell Newman was re-elected Lord Mayor of Brisbane with 66.1% of the two-party-preferred vote, with a swing of 13.7%. The LNP won 16 of the 26 wards. Newman later became Premier of Queensland in a landslide victory at the 2012 state election.
2021 Mandurah City Council election - Rhys Williams was re-elected Mayor of Mandurah with 85% of the vote.
State and territory elections:
1989 Queensland state election – Wayne Goss led the Labor Party to a historic landslide victory over the Country Party (later known as the National Party) led by Russell Cooper. The Country Party had been in power for 32 consecutive years; from 1957–1983 the Country Party ruled as the senior partner in a coalition with the Liberal Party, and then from 1983–1989 the Country Party ruled alone. Much of this 32 year period was under 7-term Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
