Moonslide victory

When one candidate wins by such a majority in an election that calling it a landslide victory would be an understatement. It’s like losing one’s deposit in British elections when one gets less that 5% of the vote and winning candidate gets more than 95% of the vote in a ‘2-horse’ election.

John: Did you see the result of the elections?
Jane: No, I expected a moonslide victory anyway
John: You are right. Peter won with 97% of the votes and the other 5 candidates got next to nothing.
