### Election

1989

The **18th Chawopolis Palace** was a session of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace that lasted from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 1995. Also known as **Palace 18**, it was Shang Jong Parker's first parliament as Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria. After the 1989 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Chawallian Communist Party possessed a unified control of government, holding the Monarchy through Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt since 1976, the Premiership since 1980 and is presented held by Shang Jong Parker, and control of the Chawopolis Palace since 1946. The Communist Party's supermajority was reduced from 418-182 to 371-229, 11 seats close to losing their supermajority.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Communist Party control of the Chawopolis Palace hung on by a thread as they prepare for a bloodbath campaign in the 1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections, and the Communists spend the whole term of Palace 18 greatly worrying about the 1995 elections and formulating strategies on dealing with a Social Democratic majority if predictions of a Social Democratic wave did unfold and Palace 19 is seated. Discussions of potentially dumping Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker after potentially losing control of the Chawopolis Palace were discussed by Communist Party insiders.

Palace 18 is one of Chawosauria's most eventful sessions of parliament in Chawosaurian political history as it took place during a world order transition from the Cold War to the era of a new world order ruled by baby boomers, among these events are the fall of the Soviet Union, the Persian Gulf War, the Los Angeles riots, the election of Bill Clinton as U.S. President and his inauguration, the Waco siege, the Republican revolution in the 1994 U.S. midterm elections, the Oklahoma City bombings, and the end of South African apartheid and the rise of the African National Congress.

## Background

The Chawallian Communist Party had ruled the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace since 1946 after the elections of 1945. The parliamentary Communists had led Chawosauria through the Cold War, but by the 1980s, the Chawosaurian general public begin to develop a Cold War fatigue, and at a bad time with the outbreak of the Revolutions of 1989, which saw the communist world led by the Soviet Union starting to unravel, this begin to muddle Chawosaurian confidence in communism for the first time.

Consequently, this had a major impact on the 1989 Chawosaurian legislative elections, adding to the electoral pain for the Communist Party, the new prime minister-designate and parliamentary leader of the Communist Party, member of parliament Shang Jong Parker of the People's Republic of China, begin to face widespread doubt from the Chawosaurian general public because of his young age (he was 29) and his race, Parker is the first East Asian and of Chinese descent to become Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria and lead a party in a Chawosaurian legislative election and that had Chawosaurians felt a little uncomfortable.

Because of this, the Communist Party lost 47 seats in the 1989 parliamentary elections, they become stuck with a narrow supermajority and escalated factionalism within the Communist Party that they failed to pass any piece of legislation into law because of Communist Party infighting.
