### Election

2009

The **22nd Chawopolis Palace** was a session of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace that lasted from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2015. This Palace is widely known to be the weakest Chawallian Communist Party majority ever elected in Chawosaurian history, a slender majority that stood in a 317-283 margin. This was the first Palace served by the Prime Minister and Speaker of the Palace, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX. This is also the first Palace on which a reigning Supreme Leader has died in office during a national legislative term. The Chawallian Communist Party had control of the Monarchy, the Premiership accompanied by the Speakership considering that both positions were held by the same person, and just only slender control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace as a result of the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

Palace 22 struggled to rule Chawosauria during the Chawosaurian Revolution, very few legislation was passed because of a slim Communist Party majority. The Social Democrats' third way faction used their party's new found ability to filibuster the Communist Party's far-left pieces of legislation, mostly quelling the Communist Party's ability to pass anything, but apparently, it was the Social Democrats who technically had legislation passed by creating de-facto alliances between them and moderate members of the Communist Party, however, much of these bills were vetoed by Timothy Max Roosevelt and few of these bills were vetoed by Antonio Kingston after he took over in 2011 when Timothy Max Roosevelt died. This slim, ideologically fractured communist majority against a minority party being able to filibuster has forced a bipartisan style of legislating in which Chawosauria had not seen in such a long time since World War II. Making Palace 22 the most bipartisan legislative term since Palace 8.

Before the 2024 Chawosaurian legislative elections, this remains the most recent government in which the minority party holds an effective veto power over majoritarian legislation.

## Background

The Chawallian Communist Party barely retained control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace in the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections. This electoral underperformance has ended 30-years of supermajority control of the Chawopolis Palace by the Communist Party from 1980 to 2010.

Suffering from a narrow majority, legislating was hard. The opposition had the 240 seats required to veto legislative passed by the majority, forcing the Communist Party to govern in a bipartisan direction.
