113th Adorian Election

←112th - 18th of January 2024 - 114th→
==Electoral System==
Further information: AES explanatory doc, PMA explanatory doc
The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated and Popular Vote hybrid in which the election schedule uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election will use AES with the next 1 also using AES.
The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% or more while the other 60% or less is simulated based on other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. At the very most AES accounts for 60% of seats which serves as a bonus system for activity but if these AES seats were not earned due to inactivity throughout the term then they are reimbursed to be popular vote seats. The AES is overseen by Matthew V. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.
==Background==
On January 4th 2024, the 112th government would be formed under a SDP minority with Bossman as Prime Minister. On January 6th 2024, Bossman's VOC would easily pass with 62.50% in favor.
=== Reconstruction Declared Complete, Again ===
On January 7th 2024, NSP Leader Curry would announce a recent new member, Constanzo Da Costa would be made the party's new co-leader. Constanzo would later that day announce that the National Salvation Party would be rebranding to the Democratic People's Party; a centre-right party that denounces fascism and communism. This would bewilder many quickly racking up 21 LMAO reactions. However it would all be part of a new server mechanic scheme. Constanzo is actually an alt of Matthew V so that he can re-enter roleplay. Many would consider this an embarrassing accolade to the Right-wing in Adoria to have to be ''bailed out'' by Matthew V in order to boost them. Matthew V's official reasons are to serve as field research to learn how the sim works and to legislate on certain things that he wishes to see happen in the server. Many would not be convinced of this new quick change in the NSP especially due to their intense crimes. SDP Leader Bossman and CPA Leader Vorenus would pledge to never work with the DPP, however Vorenus would later delete this announcement. LPA Leader Soy Trap would urge caution.
On January 9th 2024, it would be reported that the Adorian Reconstruction had (yet again) finally been completed as the economy was now finally restabilized thanks to massive infrastructure investment and EU funds. Utilities and roads were finally starting to work again yet the people's faith in the government remained destroyed, diplomatic relations with Malta shattered, and an International world order questioning as to how Adoria will be able to prevent a coup from ever happening a third timeThe two previous coups in question are the Adorian Situation Uprising of June 2022 and The Year that Never Was in July 2023.
On January 14th 2024, M8S Leader Von Oldrich would propose the Act for the Memory of the 26th of November Regime Victims, which established 5 memorial sites to commemorate the fallen of the recent coup: the civilians, police, military, North American NATO forces, and European NATO forces. It would easily pass with 88.00% in favor. On January 15th 2024, CPA Deputy RMSteve would propose the War Powers and Procedure Act of 2024, which established strict procedures for mobilizing the Armed Forces in order to secure civilian control over the army and require legislative approval for wars. It would go on to easily pass with 81.48% in favor.
===LOA v. Crime Prevention Measures Act ===
On November 5th 2023 during the 108th National Assembly, AFM's Lucius Vorenus would propose his Crime Prevention Measures Act which aimed to train new police under pro-punitive justice anti-drug ideas. It also allowed for racial stereotypes to be sufficient probable cause for searches and seizures and exempted naturalized citizens from being hired by the National Drugs and Crimes Agency. Many would deplore the bill as horrid and it seemed as if it would fail with 73.33% voting against, but in the final hours PMA-R would announce their support allowing the bill to pass.
On November 11th 2023 during the subsequent 109th Assembly, Prime Minister RookWilt would propose the Repeal of the ‘Crime Prevention Measures Act’ which Rook deplored as being fascistic and allowed for excessive force when arresting suspected criminals. It seemed as if this repeal would easily pass with 72.09% in favor, but in the final hours PMA-R would return to vote against the repeal allowing it to fail saving the Crime Prevention Measures Act. Following this PM RookWilt would announce they will never stop combatting fascism even if this repeal fails.
On January 12th 2024, APP Leader Hyort Zedong would sue the Crime Prevention Measures Act for violating the Constitution. Lucius Vorenus who was now the CPA leader would serve as defendant to his bill. CJ Meow Zedonge would also issue a Cease and Desist order to the government to not enforce the CPMA until the case concluded. Justice Minister Daniel Wilson would happily comply. LOA v. CPMA had originally been scheduled for the 13th but would be pushed back by 24h to the 14th as part of a continuance. Once the trial began on January 14th 2024, Hyort would cite personal freedom, protections against discrimination, and a commitment to due process in the Constitution. RMSteve acting as Vorenus' lawyer, would file a brief citing American and Australian law, along with the Adorian Tort Code (Law 1037), creating a legal construction that Hyort lacked the standing to sue in this case since he had not been personally effected by the defendant or law. RMSteve thus requested the case be dismissed.
Chief Justice Meow Zedonge would deliberate that Hyort was representing the LOA (Legal Organization for Accountability) which gave it mandate to act on behalf of Adorian citizens thus giving it the right to sue as pro-bono. CJ Meow and Justices Bjorn would also remark how peculiar it was to cite foreign countries in an Adorian court of law. They would both suggest the law be struck down for taking race, color, religion, parentage, place of origin, etc, all into consideration thus creating discrimination even if unintentional. Justice Mikoyan would be the sole dissent arguing Hyort failed to explain how the CPMA violating any of the articles he cited.
On January 15th 2024, it would be reported that following the recent coup and NATO invasion, the federal police had been left in disarray slowly climbing back up to recruitment quotas. This would all be until a 17-year-old Libyan boy in the city of Teleurinon was searched and arrested for federal drug charges as part of a drug case. Later it was discovered that the actual suspect was a 25-year-old Italian man residing in Libeccio. This would spark a public debate as to whether the Crime Prevention Act was discriminatory as civil rights advocates proclaimed it disproportionately effected the Turk and Arab communities. Despite this statistics would contend that there was without a doubt a decrease in personal and property crimes in Adoria.
Despite this new attention to what was once a forgettable case, it was nearly wrapped up by now. Batruntionma would join the opinion that the CPMA should be struck down. With a 3-1 ruling in favor of striking down the law, the Crime Prevention Measures Act would be overturned in Verdict 97. Justice David Cameron failed to show up for any proceedings.
===LOA v. Lavanda Right to Life Act===
On January 13th 2024, Lavanda Governor Sethyy would propose the Lavanda Right to Life Act to the people of his province. It would narrowly pass the next day in a 19-18 vote. It would restrict abortion to only 6 weeks in the province of Lavanda with 1-3 years of prison time for abortionists. Many would widely deplore this law as an infringement on civil liberties. APP Leader Hyort Zedong would once again return to court and sued the Act for violating the Constitution. On January 16th 2024, the SDP's Sheev Valkory would propose the Lavandi Republican Intervention Act which denounced the Lavanda law and censured Sethyy; it passed with 61.54% in favor but had no physical effect beyond symbolism.
During pre-trial motions RMSteve, representing Governor Sethyy, would seek to have CJ Meow Zedong abstain due to his married status with the plantiff Hyort. Meow would dismiss this as he did not believe himself to be biased and neither did the majority of the court as only Justice David Cameron believed Meow should abstain.
On January 17th 2024, the trial would begin. Hyort would file a brief that advocated that the Abortion Regulations Act (Law 350) provided for 24 weeks of abortion meaning that it overrode the local Lavanda law. Hyort would also cite that the Constitution intended for personal liberties on choice and autonomy to allow for abortion all of which was established by a previous case, Verdict 57 from July 2023. Defence lawyer RMSteve failed to submit any arguments. Once the trial began RMSteve would ask for a motion of continuance for 24 additional hours but would be denied as there had already been 48h to request such a motion. The case would proceed to a default judgement in favor of Hyort since no evidence had been provided to the contrary. Later that day the Supreme Court would publish Verdict 98 which was just Hyort's brief upholding Verdict 57. On January 18th 2024, the 54th Lavanda gubernatorial election results would be released re-electing Sethyy to another term as Governor with 51.4% in favor against 3 different opponents; surviving any possible retribution in his home province. On January 19th 2024, RMSteve's license to practice law was suspended by CJ Meow Zedonge since Steve never took the bar exam specifically made by Meow.
Recent cases would result in the Supreme Court being faced with backlash as some right-wing elements began to claim that the Court had become severely biased. They would accuse the Chief Justice of having conflicts of interest due to being married to Hyort, and should have recused himself from recent cases unless a tie had occurred despite no law requiring so. The CJ had also attempted to strike down the Lavanda Right to Life Act from the very start without trial via judicial order but was unable to do so due to recent amendments requiring a trial for such a specific scenario. Governor Sethyy believed such a display placed the CJ's bias on full display regardless of any evidence that could be presented by the defence. On January 16th 2024, CJ Meow Zedonge would announce that those that baselessly slander the Court will be held in contempt for damaging the people's faith in the system. On January 19th 2024, Meow would decide to resign to move onto a political career. The next day Mikoyan would be elected by the Court as their next Chief Justice paving the way for a new chapter of the Adorian Supreme Court.
==Results==
On January 18th 2024, the 113th Adorian election would begin and conclude the next day. It had originally been scheduled for January 19th 2024 21:00 EST but was released 37 hours early on accident before being quickly deleted. The election then began later that day at January 18th 2024 22:00 EST despite still being 23 hours early. After a 29-hour wait results would be released on January 21st 2024. Many would be surprised to see CPA perform so well. Lucius Vorenus himself, along with the Adoria Times™ and Sweet Citrus Today™ had all predicted SDP receiving around 10 more seats than the CPA. This is the first time 10 or more political parties were represented in parliament since the 50th National Assembly nearly 3 years ago. M8S and DPP ran on a joint list. Turnout: 20.28%.

== Government Formation==
With results released many expected a CPA-lead government to form but on January 22nd 2024, President Tomi announced the formation of an SDP-GLP-APP minority coalition with SoleSol as Prime Minister; this was a surprise to many. Right-wingers saw it as a power grab by the SDP who only wanted to hold onto power while left-wingers saw it as intense incompetence from the Right for failing to negotiate a majority coalition in the 24-hour window. Results had been released nearly 36 hours ago and the only coalition President Tomi had received was SoleSol's so it was subsequently appointed to caretaker status while a Chancellor confidence vote was scheduled due to it being a minority government. M8S and AL would announce plans to informally act as confidence and supply.
Following this, right-wing parties would begin to take their slow negotiations more seriously only now starting a coalition groupchat. Negotiations for a CPA-DPP-ARP-LPA coalition with F. as an independent, and Lucius Vorenus as PM would be finished less than 12 hours after later with conditions to remain in the EU for the term and support for StarsBees to be elected Libeccian Governor by the NA since the gubernatorial election had tied. With a majority of 44/85 seats, President Tomi would swiftly appoint this new government and dismiss the SoleSol caretaker cabinet, cancelling the pending Chancellor vote.
11 minutes later, Chief Justice Mikoyan would queue APP Leader Hyort's lawsuit suing Lucius Vorenus for violating articles 31 and 35 arguing that the caretaker government could not now be dismissed so easily, perhaps only by a VONC. Comparisons have been drawn to the formations of the 98th and 110th governments which also led to legal challenges. Speaker StarsBees would announce no VOCs or VONCs would occur under his watch until the legal challenge was settled. The Vorenus cabinet would essentially be a caretaker cabinet as its legal status lay in limbo in conflict with the SoleSol cabinet. The last time 2 governments had rivaled each other's legitimacies and tried to exist at the same time had been the 11th, 97th, 98th, 110th, and 111th governments.
Around 8 hours later, Hyort would withdraw his case due to the bad optics of it all and the difficulty the case would present in actually winning. This would leave no solid precedent for the situation as laws often change across the months and since the last cabinet crisis. With all legal challenge now dropped, the Vorenus Cabinet would assume full executive authority and legitimacy with no VOC required as they held a majority of seats. The SoleSol cabinet would peacefully disapparate.
