1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections

The results of the **Chawosaurian Legislative Elections of 1995** were published on December 31, 1995. These elections were held to elect all 600 members of all four houses in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace, 301 seats needed for a majority. This Chawopolis Palace election was held into the 19th year of Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt's monarchy and the first election in Chawosaurian history to be held following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 during the Revolutions of 1989. This was meant to be the first election since the 1945 Chawopolis Palace elections that a sitting Prime Minister loses the Chawopolis Palace which never ends well for the Prime Minister except for Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII who was able to keep his job, but this election result exceeded that expectation. These were the very first elections in Chawosaurian history held after the Cold War as well as the first since 1919 in which the Soviet Union does not exist. A boss fight, this is one of Shang Jong Parker's most significant major events and achievements in his entire political career as he defeats the old veteran party leader George Windsor and delivering a stinging blow as he was widely thought to win this election and potentially be Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria come 2000 had he won.

Unexpectedly and by a landslide, the Chawallian Communist Party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker, bolstered its supermajority control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace, winning a supermajority number of 418 seats against 182 anti-communist seats, and won the national popular vote in a staggering 15.6% gap separating the two parties. A communist party winning a non-cold war election in Chawosauria wasn't usual at the time. Because of this unexpected election result, Communist Party dominance continued, saving Parker's political career and prime ministership, and keeping Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt's place in Chawosauria as *head boss*, uncontested. The Communist Party re-gained the 47 seats in nearly the exact same constituencies that they have lost in the previous election, the Communist Party defeated the Social Democratic Labour Party in one of the biggest embarrassing setbacks in Chawosaurian history for a losing party, and for the Communists to ride on a comeback like this bolstered the party and the ideology itself after it was bitterly and nearly eradicated from the world map by the Revolutions of 1989. The Communist Party won 418 seats to the Social Democrats' 182 seats. The Communist Party won the popular vote with 63% to the Social Democrats' 37.2%. The Communist Party's first victory in a non-cold war election revolutionized the rules of non-cold war elections in Chawosauria, pre-cold war elections all resulted in back-to-back defeats suffered by the Communist Party since they participated in their first election in 1919 during the Russian Civil War. The Social Democrats had their first election since 1979 in which they lost seats and ground in the national popular vote, causing increasing disdain for Windsor and a schism over his leadership within the Social Democratic Labour Party that was played out in public display in the next parliamentary leadership election in 1996.

The 1995 elections have caused a domino effect on subsequent Chawosaurian legislative elections, meaning after the 1995 elections, the Communist Party has saw unusual success in post-cold war elections of 1999, 2005, 2009, 2015, and 2019. 2017 was the only non-cold war election year between 1995 and 2019, that the Communist Party suffered a defeat and also part of the 1995 election's domino effect, the 1995 elections ended a trend of Chawosaurian Prime Ministers failing to gain seats for political parties in which they led through Chawopolis Palace elections held in the middle of their prime ministerial tenures and that trend lasted from 1935 to 1985, but since this election, midterm Prime Ministers have been successfully gaining seats from 1995 to onward. Shang Parker is the first Prime Minister since Theodore McClellan in 70 years back in the 1925 Chawosaurian legislative elections to have gained seats in a national legislative election held during a prime ministerial term.

Following the fall of the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc caused by the Revolutions of 1989, the Communist Party was widely predicted to lose heavily because of the fact that it was the Soviet Union that helped the Communist Party stay in power for all these years. It was assumed that the disintegration of a major Communist state that had been a superpower since World War II would mean the Communist Party was severely weakened. The election of Bill Clinton in 1992 and subsequent midterm elections two years later scared the Communist Party because it strongly convinced the media in Chawosauria that the Communist Party was on its last legs because Bill Clinton's 1992 victory broke 12 years of Republican dominance over the White House as a result of the USSR's downfall. Bill Clinton's victory caused spine-chilling fear within Communist Party leadership that the party may have been weakened. The Social Democratic Labour Party hoped that the USSR's demise spelled electoral oblivion for the Communist Party, the Social Democrats campaigned hard on Shang Parker's failure to save the USSR and Communism in general and tried to make Parker look like a weak Communist leader. From 1992 to 1993, the Communist Party deeply worried about the voters' new conception of the Communist Party following the USSR's downfall. By January 1993, the Communist Party has never before looked this weak and vulnerable in the party's history.

However by 1993, things started to go in the Communist Party's way, steadily starting off with the Waco siege that year when the U.S. federal government had a standoff with an apocalypticist new religious movement called the Branch Davidians led by David Koresh; the standoff was violent and the U.S. federal government won the standoff; the Communist Party, which had historically opposed freedom of religion in the atheist-majority Chawosauria, begin to use the Waco siege as an example of religious extremism to appeal to Secular Chawosaurians, this strategy was starting to work and it gave the Communist Party new life. Through his premiership, Shang Parker advocated for a reset within his party, pushing his party to accept the politics of the post-cold war era. Shang Parker found new life in South Africa, he gained very critical support from Black Chawosaurians for openly speaking out against Apartheid in South Africa, the South African State President, F.W. de Klerk had Nelson Mandela released from prison and made a deal with Mandela to dismantle Apartheid, and gave Black South Africans the right to vote in the 1994 South African elections, in which Nelson Mandela and his African National Congress party won. Shang Parker was given credit by the Chawosaurian people for the drastic social changes in South African society and politics, this bolstered the Communist Party's electoral chances. Parker from 1993 to onward till 1999 supported the Communist Parties in the elections in Russia in '93 and '95, the 1995 Quebec Independence referendum on rather Quebec should break away from Canada, and brought Chawosaurians together in a time of escalating racial tensions, and made Chawosaurians realize that Shang Parker was capable of leadership.

Shang Jong Parker was a pretty young Prime Minister at the time, he was 29 when he became Prime Minister in 1990, nearing 30 by the end of January. The Social Democrats attempted to use Parker's age against him, saying he was too young to be Prime Minister and his handling of the fall of the USSR showed his lack of experience, but this backfires on the Social Democrats pretty royally because ageism in politics is often seen as taboo in Chawosauria, young Chawosaurians are universally encouraged to be politically active that there are barely any age restrictions on voting, and young Chawosaurians are even encouraged into running for office at a very early age. The Social Democrats suffered the meanest ever criticism from the Chawosaurian media for attacking Parker's age and the Social Democrats took a merciless dive in the polls by as low as 60 percentage points downward. Now being seen as ageists and racists, the Social Democrats begin to struggle desperately bad in the polls, Social Democratic insiders tried to warn the party leadership, only tobe dismissed as alarmists and the party downplayed the polls.

Voting was open throughout October, counting took place throughout November, and the results were released to the public and the media on December 31, 1995 and they were surprising. The Communist Party not only retained supermajority control of the Chawopolis Palace, they expanded their supermajority from 371-229 to 418-182, a change of 47 seats going from Social Democrat to Communist. In the popular vote, it was a landslide, the Communist Party won 62% of the popular vote and the Social Democrats losing the popular vote with 37%, a swing from Social Democrat to Communist in the popular vote by 12 percentage points. The Communist Party won back the constituencies they lost in 1989, and swept the old Soviet Union region by even bigger landslides.

This election result was quite a big surprise for the whole nation. A jaw-dropper, this election is one of Chawosauria's biggest upsets alongside other legislative elections of 1909, 1925, 1945, 1949, 2009, 2017, and 2019. Shang Parker and the Communist Party won a big comeback after suffering from major setbacks including the fall of Soviet Russia, the end of the Cold War in a sweeping victory for western democracy, and massive changes in the western world that threatened the Communist Party. The Social Democrats were extremely disappointed in this election result, For the Communist Party, it was invigorating; but for the Social Democrats, the results were a big disappointment. The election was a landslide was Shang Jong Parker, he won 418 seats out of all 600 that were contested and he won 63% of the popular vote.

After 10 terms as Majority Party of the Chawopolis Palace, an 11th consecutive term for the Communist Party which was widely not considered a possibility, an 11th term has become a history-breaking term number, and Shang Jong Parker will be able to stay on as Prime Minister, thus finishing his prime ministerial term, and will serve a second term as Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace.

The legacy of this election is that it big time saved Shang Parker's political career in a time when it was under a great major assault after the big embarrassment from his loss of the Soviet Union in 1991, when Shang Parker won this election, it was so consequential for both Parker and Chawosauria as a whole, Communist Party dominance remains to this very day in 2021 and Shang Parker is now the incumbent Supreme Leader after being elected in 2019. In 2022, Cold War era Chawopolis Palace elections were re-studied by psephologists and the 1995 election results confirmed the old analysis of the election attributing to the shift of Black Chawosaurians from the Social Democrats over to the Communist Party for the way Parker handled the Apartheid crisis in South Africa, but these 2022 studies have also discovered new truths, it turns out that another reason the Chawallian Communist Party was able to win reelection was by flipping back Western Europe while holding on to the former USSR region and the rest of the Eastern World. That is actually attributed to anxiety and discomfort with the post-Cold War era, widespread anti-Americanism at the time, and political polarization caused by the Cold War. These post-Cold War era anxieties were felt around the world, contributing to the rise of the American far-right, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and the prelude of the War on Terror, and the rise of Vladimir Putin in Russia. The Cold War had a telling impact on Chawosauria, Shang Jong Parker went on to become Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria in 2020 and the Chawosaurian electorate was firmly communist until 2009.

## Dissolution of the Soviet Union

> *Main article: Chawosauria during the Dissolution of the Soviet Union*
>
>

On December 25, 1991, after two years of political and geopolitical turmoil following a decade-long quagmire war in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, the only nation in the world that kept the United States on check, has ceased to exist. The socialist state and superpower broke up into 15 new nations, the big one being the Russian Federation, which is universally recognized globally to be the legitimate successor of the Soviet Union, often for obvious reasons. The Soviet Union's end means the United States is now the world's sole superpower, leaving the entire world order to fall under the complete and total control of the United States and its western allies, thus ending the Cold War.

The impact the Soviet Union's demise had on Chawosauria was very tremendous. It partially crippled the Chawosaurian economy and the new borders restricted Chawosaurian human movement, trade, and Chawosaurian hospitality businesses in this part of the world. But the biggest story of the USSR breakup's impact on Chawosauria was how it changed Chawosaurian politics forever, the Chawallian Communist Party, who first rose to power in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections on the back of the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany the same year, have lost seats in the 1989 Chawosaurian legislative elections against the backdrop of the Revolutions of 1989, and the Communist Party started their 10th majority in a bad start; a Prime Minister who is perceived as too young and too incompetent, he is East Asian, and he oversaw helplessly the demise of the world's most powerful socialist state in human history, all of which made Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker very unpopular amongst the Chawosaurian public.

Chawosaurians grew weary and uneasy about a world ruled by the United States without any other superpower challenging the Americans. Chawosaurians fear that the world's most powerful capitalist and religious nation could bring poverty, economic inequality, religious-led oppression, and constant war.

## Background

### Cultural

In the culture of Chawosauria, what usually happens when a Prime Minister loses control of the Chawopolis Palace, is that the public image of that Prime Minister is utterly demoralized and humiliated in the eyes of the public.

Prime Minister Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson lost control of the Chawopolis Palace to two liberal parties in the 1905 Chawosaurian legislative elections, suffering a loss of 313 seats, and shortly after, Wilson's Conservative Party UK was crushed back at home in the 1906 UK election, the Conservatives were wiped out in Wilson's native land, Scotland. Emperor Santiago dumped Wilson from getting a prime ministerial second term, Wilson was replaced by Garfield Lucas Webster in 1910.

Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII colossally lost control of the Chawopolis Palace to the Chawallian Communist Party led by Timothy Max Roosevelt in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections during the onset of the Cold War, that marked the beginning of the era of communist rule of Chawosauria (1945-ongoing). Bismarck suffered a loss of 321 seats to the Communists, and for his UK Liberal Party, he lost 178 seats. Bismarck's popularity plummeted to an irreparable position, and his chances of a second term as Prime Minister seemed doomed in the eyes of so many. Bismarck was facing a threat of replacement by Garfield Lucas Webster II, the son of fellow Prime Minister Garfield Lucas Webster, but Garfield Webster II declined Emperor Santiago's offer, and allowed Bismarck to slip to a second nomination for a second prime ministerial term, and surprisingly he won enough votes in the Communist Party majority Chawopolis Palace to get elected again as Prime Minister, by convincing both liberal and conservative capitalists, and half the Communist majority, to give him another term. That was a good comeback for Bismarck but it never materialized because he lost 60 seats in the 1949 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

So what if Shang Parker had lost the Chawopolis Palace in the 1995 Chawopolis Palace elections? Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt discussed potentially replacing Shang Parker, thus making Parker the first Prime Minister to have failed to finish his prime ministerial term, and George Windsor would have gained the prime ministership while holding the speakership. Shang Parker would not be able to rise up to the level of Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria a generation from this election due to a demoralized public image.

### Political

In the 1910s, under the Prime Ministership of Garfield Lucas Webster (1860-1955), there was World War I (1914-1918) and eventually the Revolutions of 1917-1923 because of the fallout of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Civil War, which led to the rise of the Soviet Union. In the 1920s, the Empire of Chawosauria fell under a new Prime Minister from the United States, Theodore McClellan (1860-1957), a Republican who was a native born and resident of New England. McClellan felt threatened by the growing rise of Bolshevism as they overtook nearly the entire Russian nation as he takes office, he felt even more threatened when Chawosaurians who live in Russia were growing more interested and sympathetic to the Bolsheviks, and as a result of McClellan's Republican Party winning the 1920 election in the U.S. both the presidential and congressional elections downward, McClellan felt that he needed to send Chawosaurian forces to Russia to suppress Chawosaurian support for the Bolsheviks by asking the Chawopolis Palace to issue a draft to send troops to Russia. But the war ended up in a disaster for Chawosauria, both the Bolsheviks successfully gained control of Russia, and their Chawosaurian supporters beat back the military intervention against them by the Chawosaurian Imperial Army, embarrassing Theodore McClellan's public image as a second-ranking commander-in-chief. Despite the military debacle in Russia, Theodore McClellan won a landslide mandate in the 1925 Chawosaurian legislative elections because he was given credit from the Chawosaurian people for a booming world economy throughout the 1920s, known as the roaring twenties.

In 1924, the Soviet Union fell under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, and from 1924 to 1953, Stalin reigned Russia in a ruthless manner, causing famines in Ukraine, and executed his political enemies. But World War II broke out, and the Soviets and the Nazis issued a non-aggression pact, but in 1941, Hitler broke his pact with Stalin by invading the USSR, and the Soviets became part of the WWII Allies. The allies won the war and the Soviets crushed the city of Berlin, resulting in the fall of the Third Reich and the suicide of Adolf Hitler all in 1945. Meanwhile in the Chawosaurian world, communism was already becoming popular thanks to a trend caused by the result of the Russian Civil War, and the Soviet conquest of Berlin helped triggered the election of Chawosauria's own Communist Party to near-supermajority in the Chawopolis Palace in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union for global influence made the Chawosaurian general public pay lots of attention to Cold War politics, and it resulted in the constant reelections of the Communist Party from 1949 to 1985. By 1980, Chawosauria finally had a communist trifecta, Timothy Max Roosevelt was elected Supreme Leader as a communist in the 1975 Chawosaurian direct election, the Communist Party retained majorities in both the 1975 and 1979 Chawopolis Palace elections, and in 1980 Leonid Ivan Bzovsky becomes Prime Minister as the first communist in Chawosaurian history to serve in this office.

The Cold War was about to end, the Revolutions of 1989 broke out due to fatigue over communist rule in much of the Eastern World. Meanwhile, in the Chawosaurian world, Leonid Bzovsky was denied a second term as Prime Minister by Supreme Leader Roosevelt because his inbred characteristics were becoming too noticeable, Bzovsky could not read, he stuttered really badly, and his cognitive abilities were dwindling quickly. Bzovsky was instead replaced by a young member of Parliament from China, Shang Jong Parker, aged 29, to take over in 1990. In the 1989 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the fallout of the Revolutions of 1989 cost the Communist Party 47 seats but they still retained a commanding supermajority. When Parker took over as Prime Minister as a communist on January 1, 1990, just 30 days before his 30th birthday, he gained the discomfort of losing the Soviet Union for his ideology in Chawosauria and by 1992, Parker lost the USSR and it would threaten to end both his political career and his job as Prime Minister.

## Election Campaign

A year after Shang Parker took office in the weakest majority for a Prime Minister since Jonathan Davgon Bismarck X in 1930 after he lost 50 seats in the 1929 Chawosaurian legislative elections, Shang Parker had a weaker majority, weaker than the previous Prime Minister who had 418 seats, Shang was stuck with 371 seats (370 in 1992).

The Soviet Union dissolved on December 25, 1991, and with the world's most powerful Socialist state in World History falls, Shang Parker was categorized as "a vulnerable Prime Minister" for the 1995 elections. Shang Parker was vulnerable into becoming the first Prime Minister since Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII to lose both seats and a majority in the middle of his term. There had been a historical dynamic that has been happening since the 1935 Chawosaurian legislative elections, which it's the midterm Prime Minister's party always loses seats or fails to gain seats. In 1935, Prime Minister Jonathan Davgon Bismarck X's party lost 60 seats, in 1945, Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII lost so many seats that he lost his majority, in 1985, Prime Minister Leonid Ivan Bzovsky failed to gain seats as usual for a Prime Minister since 1935 but Bzovsky succeeded in preventing his party from losing any seats.

In 1992, Shang Parker was widely predicted to lose his majority caused by the fall of the world's most powerful communist nation in history, and it was a really big deal for Shang Parker and his Communist Party. With the Cold War ending in 1991, Shang Parker said that he would resign if he does lose the 1995 midterm election. Communist Parties in fallen Communist nations have been either overthrown or voted out of power, in Russia in 1993, the Communist Party of Russia lost their majority, and in Mongolia a year before, the Mongolian People's Party (which converted to a social democratic party) lost 70 seats but still holding on to a majority. These elections threatened Shang Parker's 1995 chances. Bill Clinton's election as President of the United States in 1992 and subsequently the fall of the near century-long congressional dominance of Clinton's party in the 1994 midterm elections consolidated fears of the fall of communist party rule over Chawosauria. The fall of the USSR was seen by all as "Shang Parker's Saigon" and judging his election prospects, Communist Imperial Senator Linghu Xiaoliang said publicly about Shang Jong Parker: "Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker is not just royally fucked, he's imperially fucked!" and these words stuck with Parker, "Imperially Fucked". Parker was unhappy with Linghu's words considering he and Linghu were friends from China. There was widespread skepticism that Parker will be able to finish his prime ministerial term, Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt maybe forced to allow George Windsor to become Prime Minister by 2000 if Windsor's party wins the elections as predicted and the Supreme Leader was considering strategies on how to deal with a Social Democratic majority in the Chawopolis Palace, but Timothy Roosevelt was also considering who would be suitable to be the Chawallian Communist Party's party leader after Shang Parker, signaling a willingness to dump Parker immediately if he does lose the election, something Emperor Santiago tried to do with Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII after he lost the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections to the Chawallian Communist Party led by Timothy Max Roosevelt himself as party leader, this irony doesn't seem lost on nobody here as Timothy Max Roosevelt himself even acknowledges. Communist candidates to potentially replace Parker are Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX, Linghu Xiaoliang, Timothy Max Roosevelt II who is the Supreme Leader's son, Selahattin Mustafa Bedrosian, and Joseph Mario Lopez, to hopefully lead the Communist Party to victory in the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections, though defeating a first-time majority party isn't possible, it was attempted in 1905, 1929, and 1949, and none of these attempts to topple a first term majority party were successful. It takes time for a majority party to lose control, the UK Conservative Party ruled the Chawopolis Palace from 1900 to 1925, for a period of 25-years; the UK Liberal Party ruled the Chawopolis Palace from 1926 to 1945, for a period of nearly 20 years; and the Chawallian Communist Party itself has had control of the Chawopolis Palace from 1946 up to this year in 1995, for an even longer period of 49 years, no political party has ever ruled the legislative branch of the Chawosaurian government this long. If the Social Democrats do win control of the Chawopolis Palace, it will take incredibly long for them to rule the Chawopolis Palace, likely rule the Palace up to the 21st century, predicted to rule the Chawopolis Palace until the mid-21st century or later.

Shang Parker's incumbency advantage recovery began to send warning signs to Windsor and other Capitalists. The first sign was the Waco siege, the bloody standoff between the United States federal government and an apocalypticist cult called the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, which the Communist Party begin to exploit as an example of religious extremism, successfully beginning to steadily regain momentum. Shang Parker openly and publicly, as well as privately, condemned Apartheid in South Africa as a white supremacist policy meant to target Black South Africans, Parker gained sympathy for Black South Africans because he remembered being the victim of racism himself back in the 1989 legislative elections.

   The Social Democrats' response to the fall of Apartheid was what will cost them the election, the Social Democrats had a heavily unionized, white working class base, and they feared that being on the side of opposition to Apartheid could end up alienating their blue collar white supporters, this fear among Social Democrats of alienating their union working class white supporters goes back to what they saw happened to the Democratic Party in the United States during the civil rights movement in the United States back in the 1960s, where the U.S. Democratic Party, who were the party of blue collar White Americans in the industrial Northern United States and White Americans from the Southern United States, have embraced the civil rights movement by enacting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which in effect, cost the Democratic Party what was called "the solid south", and blue collar whites across the country in the elections, especially presidential elections, that followed, where when President Truman accepted a Democratic Party platform for the 1948 presidential election embracing civil rights which resulted in a third party revolt led by Democrat-turned-Dixiecrat South Carolina U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond and twenty years later after the passage the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act under Democratic President Lyndon B, Johnson, there was another third party revolt led by Democrat-turned-American Independent Alabama Governor George Wallace in another presidential election in 1968, both men won only few southern states to by 1972, Republican President Richard Nixon won all southern states. The Social Democrats were incredibly afraid of this fate, but they also didn't want to be viewed as racists either, so the Social Democrats decided to declare neutrality on the issue of apartheid and the rights of Black South Africans. This unfortunately has turned out to be a bad strategy, because with the Communist Party now embracing the rights of Black South Africans, Black Chawosaurians, who also tend to vote Social Democratic and saw how their party is handling the apartheid issue, turned over to the Communist Party, as well as a surge of Black Chawosaurians who don't normally vote at all until they registering for the first time due to feeling empowered by Prime Minister Shang Parker and his Communist Party, effectively turning the election around in the Communist Party's favor.

In the second opening of the 18th Chawopolis Palace, Shang Parker did a speech that received bipartisan praise except from Timothy Max Roosevelt, where Parker condemned Apartheid. What is Apartheid were a series of racial segregation policies taking place in the South African nation where White South Africans who were brought to political power by the British Empire (Because Great Britain colonized South Africa) and passed laws that oppressed the "inferior" peoples that lived there before the British.
As a result of a changing world, South Africa faced a boycott movement, and Shang Parker led Chawosauria by encouraging Chawosauria to join the anti-Apartheid movement. When the White South African government finally decided to negotiate with the resistance and agreed to dismantle Apartheid, Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and the African National Congress took advantage of the new voting rights laws and won the 1994 South African elections by a landslide. Chawosaurians saw this as a huge victory for Shang Parker. This marked the beginning of the end of Chawosaurians' racial tensions and Shang Parker was a leader of unity.

## Electoral Upset and Results

Seat count of the 1995 Chawosaurian legislative electionsPopular vote of the 1995 Chawosaurian legislative elections
Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker won the election of 1995 in a landslide victory. Winning 69.7% of seats in the Chawopolis Palace, 62.8% of the popular vote, to Windsor's 30.3% of seats in the Palace and 37.2% of the popular vote.

This election result was a surprise to many, the Communist Party was widely expected to be defeated due to losing the Soviet Union in 1991, but what attributed to this surprise election result that favors the Communist Party was basically Chawosauria's black voters, who were inspired by Shang Parker's opposition to apartheid in South Africa, Parker's support for Nelson Mandela for President of South Africa in 1994, and the end of the white-minority rule of South Africa.

The anti-communists were widely blamed and harshly criticized by their frustrated black loyalists for not taking a stronger stance against apartheid in the same force Shang Parker did and said had the anti-communists done that, the anti-communists would have at least won a narrow majority in the Chawopolis Palace by keeping the black vote narrow.

## Political Analysis

This election was a major comeback for Shang Parker as Prime Minister, as well as a comeback for Timothy Max Roosevelt. Timothy Max Roosevelt loved Shang Parker after this election, made him respect him. This election was the result of changes in racial views of East Asians handling positions of power, it also changed Timothy Max Roosevelt's racial views.

Shang Parker's opposition to Apartheid in South Africa saved him from becoming one of those Prime Ministers who lost the Chawopolis Palace, alongside Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson in 1905, Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII in 1945, and then after Parker, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX in 2017. Parker gained support from Black Chawosaurians who felt heard for the first time by Parker's bullhorn opposition to Apartheid.

The politically fatal mistake the capitalists made with black voters was not joining Shang Parker's opposition to Apartheid, or even pay any attention to the situation in South Africa, thus making themselves appear like they're racist, or part of an institutional racist establishment, black voters usually vote capitalist and they usually vote in such low turnout, but Parker's anti-apartheid populism helped inspire Black Chawosaurians to vote for the first time in their lives and de-align black voters away from the anti-communists and realign into the Communist Party.

## Aftermath of the Election

Shang Parker's name was cleared as he returns on February 1, 1996, with a much bigger majority. Parker became widely popular as a result of this landslide election result. Parker's popularity materialized up to the 1999 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

On the anti-communist side, there were calls on George Windsor to resign and it was said that maybe Garfield Lucas Webster II should take over as minority party leader and leader of the opposition. Webster rejected a run against Windsor, allowing Windsor to stay in power. The anti-communist opposition turned against each other by ideology, conservatives blamed this surprise loss on the capitalists' liberal establishment, rising star Charles Muskie started to gain attention for his criticism of George Windsor, and leading the rising anti-Windsor movement.

The Social Democrats' apartheid debacle would later haunt them in the next election in 1999, it also continues to be a problem when George Windsor made a gaffe statement on apartheid at a press conference to avoid answering a question about his party's mishandling of the apartheid issue in the 1995 campaign, Windsor said apartheid was **water under the bridge**, that gaffe backfired so bad that T-shirts and internet memes were made in response. Windsor was sharply criticized by black activists and ridiculed by black comedians for that gaffe, and reacting to the backlash, Windsor apologized while in the process, using his own activism for the rights of black people from his past as proof that he understands the feeling of standing in the shoes of a black person.

While most people accepted Windsor's apology, the Social Democrats still lost the 1999 elections in part because of what Windsor said about apartheid.
