## Election

### Election

1975

The **15th Chawopolis Palace** was a session of government of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government taking place in the Chawopolis Palace from January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1979. **Palace 15** was elected in the 1975 Chawosaurian legislative elections, during the 1975 Chawosaurian elections coincided with the 1975 Chawosaurian direct election. The first Chawopolis Palace government that is under the Communist Party holds the monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace. As for the opposition, it was split, the Coalition Party had control of the Chawosaurian Leader of the Opposition through Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII in favor of the conservatives, while the Social Democratic Labour Party of Chawosauria under its party leader George Windsor held sole minority party status in the Chawopolis Palace, resulting in an ideologically inconsistent anti-communist opposition left behind by Emperor Santiago's retirement in 1975.

Palace 15 was the first since Palace 8 that one party controls both the Monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace at once, however, the Premiership remains of the opposing party. Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII serves his final years of his prime ministership from 1976 to 1979 having no control or influence of neither the Monarchy or the Palace. The Chawallian Communist Party now controlling the Monarchy and the Palace can enact legislation regardless of Bismarck's conservative objections. Without an anti-communist Supreme Leader to veto communist legislation, Bismarck has zero ability to prevent the passage of communist legislation, thereby with a communist administration and a communist legislative majority, Bismarck was completely powerless that it didn't help him much that the minority party leaned towards socialism.

The partisan balance of power of this Palace prevented Bismarck from taking a fifth term as Prime Minister. Bismarck would've been the longest-serving Prime Minister in Chawosaurian history if the Monarchy remained under anti-communist rule.

This is the last government in the 20th century and the last until Palace 22 in which the minority party yielded a strong veto power over majoritarian legislation.
