The **Chawosaurian Legislative Elections of 2019** was held on Friday, October 4, 2019, to elect all 1,000 members of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace, 501 seats needed for a majority, 600 for a supermajority. These elections are part of the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, and they coincided with the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, the 2019 Chawosaurian presidential election as well as the 2019 Continent Union federal election. The Chawosaurian Communist Party rode on the coattails of former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker to win the biggest supermajority to lead a two party Chawopolis Palace for a Chawosaurian communist party since the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections 14 years prior. With this election held during the War on Terror, which had been waging primarily in the middle east since 2001, this is the final of all five Chawopolis Palace elections held during the U.S. War in Afghanistan, but the War on Terror may likely to continue on probably up to the next election, but this is also the third election held in Chawosauria during the Russo-Ukrainian War. The 2005 elections to the 2019 elections for the Chawopolis Palace marked the first time since the elections of 1955 to 1975 during the Vietnam War, that Chawosauria held back to back elections during a very long war. What's incredible about this election is that a first-time incumbent majority party or coalition tend to be difficult to defeat as demonstrated in 1905, 1929, and 1949, but this election broke this trend and defied history. This is the last election that a party was led by the Boleslaus family and the most recent election that a party's parliamentary leader was a blood member of a political family. This is the first Chawopolis Palace election since 1919, which was a century ago, that a Prime Minister who is on the way to take office failed to win control of the Chawopolis Palace, but unlike 1919 however, incoming Prime Minister MacCarthy fared much worse than Theodore McClellan did before he took office on January 1, 1920 when he was succeeding Garfield Lucas Webster. MacCarthy is one of four Prime Ministers in Chawosaurian electoral history to have led a party to second place, the other three are Theodore McClellan (1919), Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII (consecutive elections from 1945 to 1959), and the lame-duck at the time of this election, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX (2017). Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus X's performance as a Communist Party parliamentary leader was significantly way better than his father's performance in 2009 in a decade-transitioning election.

The newly formed Chawosaurian Communist Party, riding on the coattails of Communist Party leader and former prime minister Shang Jong Parker, swept control of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace. Wiping out a divided anti-communist supermajority in a massive wave, winning a massive supermajority by a crushing landslide margin of 893-107 out of all 1,000 seats total which all of which were contested this year and the Communist Party also scored a landslide victory in the national popular vote with 81.4% of voters backing communist candidates, resulting in communist gains with the flipping of 684 constituencies and floor crossings of 26 from capitalists to communists for a total seat change of 710 out of all 1,000 constituencies, which is the exact number of seat handovers of this election all going for one party only, and what was left on the losing side was the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party led by incoming Prime Minister Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III, who only garnered 107 seats and just 9.5% of the popular vote for the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party. The Communist Party defeated the first-time Anti-Communist supermajority in that supermajority's first reelection campaign, in which, never in Chawosaurian history has a first-term majority has ever failed to win a second term before. 2019 was a great year to be a Chawosaurian communist but it was also a great year to be a socialist in Chawosauria because the only surviving party, the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, is a moderately socialist party.

As for the anti-communist parties, they made history in a bad way, they won their first majority since World War II after 71-years of seemingly endless communist rule in the Palace, the anti-communist parties came together to forge a supermajority coalition after winning the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections in a landslide, they called their coalition the DKA Coalition because they rode on the coattails of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, also known as DKA, during his smooth but narrow reelection in the December 2017 Chawosaurian direct election. Then in this election, the capitalists lost control of the Chawopolis Palace, which, the idea of a one-term ruling party or coalition falling well short of a second term is completely unheard of in Chawosaurian history.

The DKA Coalition takes power in 2018, they begin to realize that they underestimated their lack of experience at controlling a Chawopolis Palace that has changed significantly since the Communists first took power after their landslide victory in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections. However, the DKA Coalition did passed a very progressive agenda called the Arsenals of Socialism, but their poor handling of the Poseidon blowout and oil-spill with slow government action such as slow investigations and connections between corrupt business associates and capitalist politicians dogged their popularity as well as DKA's. Off-year elections were disastrous for the capitalists, and DKA becomes dangerously unpopular. An ideological fracture within the capitalist supermajority between progressive and conservative parties damaged the reputation of their supermajority, and then, with DKA and his coalition having a trifecta government gives them the power to nominate and confirm a successor for Chawosauria's prime minister Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX of the Communist Party, whose term is near expiration on December 31, 2019, the capitalists struggled to find a successor till eventually found one in Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III, DKA nominated MacCarthy and the capitalists approved him to succeed Boleslaus by January 1, 2020. MacCarthy is the first Irishman and the first from Australia to been given the responsibility as Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria, but Chawosaurians weren't happy with an Irish PM because of the fear and anxiety of the influence of the Catholic Church in politics, and though MacCarthy was not a Catholic, it doesn't help MacCarthy that his ethnic group are Catholic-majority. MacCarthy was a member of the Australian Labor Party, the party was up for election in Australia in 2019 and the Australian Labor Party had a humiliating showing in the 2019 Australian federal election which was actually not anticipated by both the Australian media and polling industry, so that was not very helpful for MacCarthy's image either.

U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi made history herself in Chawosauria for being the first foreign parliamentary leader appointed by her party represented by Chawosaurians to be featured in a Chawopolis Palace election since Adolf Hitler and his party were represented by Chawosaurians in the 1939 Chawosaurian legislative elections. The Chawosaurian Chawopolis Palace U.S. Democratic Party caucus chose Speaker Pelosi because she had been serving as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives since she led her party to a sizable victory in the United States House of Representatives the previous year. The Chawopolis Palace Democrats were swept to representation and joined the DKA Coalition in the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections and Democrats Degotoga K. Atagulkalu and Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII were elected themselves due to a rallying among Chawosaurians for the opposition to Trump, led by the Democratic Party, since the globally shocking election of Donald Trump in 2016. But two years later, the rally had worn off and the whole Chawosaurian faction of the Democratic Party was entirely wiped out by Communists mostly due to Shang Jong Parker's coattails, but also because of universal mockery towards Democratic contenders for the 2020 U.S. presidential election by the Chawosaurian public, and the polarization the impeachment proceedings against President Trump was causing among Chawosaurians, especially in the United States, where all Chawosaurian Democrats were located.

The Communist Party rode on the coattails of former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker as he marches to a landslide victory over incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, the Communist Party winning control of both the monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace gives them a trifecta, and the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government has been elected and been formed. The Communist Party's leader, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus X, was defeated by incumbent Senator Samantha A. Montgomery in the 2019 Chawosaurian Senate election in New York, resulting in the need for a 2020 Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace election. Mathematically, the Communist Party has won 893 seats, which is a supermajority. The party won 81.4% of the popular vote, that percentage is up by 59.9% from the last election, it is also the second largest popular vote boost after the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections and before the 2015 Chawosaurian legislative elections which is the Communists' third greatest popular vote boost, all by size. This is the largest communist supermajority to an incoming two party Chawopolis Palace since the 21st Chawopolis Palace which was elected in 2005.

Reasons for this Communist Party blowout are clear. The Capitalist Parties could not get along, their coalition supermajority was interfered by internal tensions and distrust caused by partisan and ideological tensions against each other mostly driven by ideological conflicts between liberals and conservatives which resulted in the collapse of the DKA Coalition on July 16, 2019; the Capitalists' incoming Prime Minister, Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III, suffered from anti-Catholic suspicions from the Chawosaurian general public due to the fact that he was of Irish descent and the fact that the Irish are a Catholic majority group even though MacCarthy was not Catholic at all plus MacCarthy suffered the embarrassment of his native party in Australia losing a general election there in May 2019 in an upset. These internal problems within the anti-communist supermajority distracted them from fighting off the coattail shockwaves of former Prime Minister and Communist Party leader Shang Jong Parker's popularity with the public and consequent landslide victory over anti-communist incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, directly leading to the electoral catastrophic collapse of the anti-communists' fractious supermajority in the Chawopolis Palace, rendering it the shortest lived parliamentary majority in Chawosaurian history since this is the first parliamentary election in Chawosaurian history that a one term majority was defeated.

Consequently, the Communist Party's supermajority made possible the impeachment and resignation of Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III and the subsequent nomination and election of MacCarthy's successor, Jezebel Isela Boleslaus, both possible. The Communist Party's 2019 landslide victory may also drastically help the Communist Party in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic with arsenals such as the 2020-present Chawosauria COVID-19 Lockdown as part of the War on Coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic also hurt the Communist Party because of the Chinese Communist Party's role in the COVID-19 outbreak in China which subsequently led to the global pandemic in the first place. Unfortunately for this supermajority, the Communist Party supermajority suffered a decline in popularity in 2021 due to their passage of the Caspian Sea Resolution as Chawosauria stumbles upon the Chawo-Uralic War; but this supermajority did easily passed serious pieces of legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 2020, the Chris Hansen Act of 2021, and the Green New Deal.

Fates of the party leaders: Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus X is currently serving as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of North America, Samantha A. Montgomery served her final term in the Imperial Senate until her death in 2023, McGettigan is retired, Nancy Pelosi went on to continue on her service as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives until 2023 when her party eventually but barely lost control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections in the U.S., and Kesegowaase Bagwunagijik was never heard from again. Prime Minister Jonathan MacCarthy did took his place as Prime Minister, but he failed to finish his term due to the backlash against his Irish heritage.

## Context

The Capitalists have had a majority in the Chawopolis Palace since January 1, 2018, since they won it in the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections, which was the first capitalist victory since the 1939 Chawosaurian legislative elections. The Capitalists, like the Communist Party in the 1949 Chawosaurian legislative elections, didn't enter 2019 with a strong incumbency advantage. The ideological rifts within the capitalists' multi-party supermajority was starting to frustrate voters in Chawosauria, and so many of them were vulnerable due to the deep unpopularity of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu. But Degotoga K. Atagulkalu died in office on March 3, 2019, and in the 2019 Chawosaurian monarchical selection, Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a was chosen to succeed the late Degotoga K. Atagulkalu.

However, Ekewaka Kalawai'a's exceeding to the monarchy proved to be one of the big liabilities for the Capitalists. Other liabilities involve ideological and partisan conflict with the Capitalists' supermajority, resulting in their DKA Coalition to fall apart, and the big one is their "questionable" decision to nominate Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III to replace the incumbent, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaus IX as Prime Minister, Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III is known to come from a prominent Irish family, the MacCarthy family. Irish people are one of the world's Catholic-majority demographics, and that would end up deter voters from reelecting the Capitalists' supermajority, despite MacCarthy wasn't a Catholic, fear of Catholic influence over the government is a genuine emotion amongst Chawosaurians and they acted on that emotion by handing the supermajority to the Communist Party.

The Death of Degotoga K. Atagulkalu has caused the Chawosaurian economy to crash, and the Capitalists decided to pass the Nobility Act of 2019, establishing a feudal system in Chawosauria, and that has garnered alot of criticism. Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XIX, the leader of the Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance, was the one who introduced the bill, and he was primaried at the 2019 Social Democratic-Green Party Alliance Special Primary as a result, and although Ekewaka Kalawai'a refused to run for reelection, Kalawai'a was drafted as a candidate by social democratic voters to replace Bismarck. Involuntarily drafting a candidate to run for reelection meant to voters that that candidate did not want to win reelection, resulting in that candidate being defeated, and that's basically what happened to Kalawai'a, and the capitalists were held responsible for this.

Allegations of Israeli, Zionist, and Jewish control of the 24th Chawopolis Palace also hurt the Capitalist majority, antisemitism was strengthened by outrage over the United States' new foreign policy approach towards Israel, a nation Chawosaurians see has "fascistic" and "authoritarian", and view Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as a narcissistic corrupt globalist.

MacCarthy was the subject of prejudice, because of his Irish ancestry, he was accused of being a Catholic mainly because Irish people are a Catholic-majority ethnic group. MacCarthy is a protestant but voters were turned off by the Capitalists' decision to install an Irish prime minister due to fears of semi-Vatican rule over Chawosaurian politics.

## Results

The Communist Party won a majority in the Chawopolis Palace. It was a massive landslide for the Communist Party, 81.4% of the national popular vote, 1.7% bigger than Shang Jong Parker's 79.7% of the popular vote, so there were Chawosaurian voters who split-ticket voting. The Communist Party won 893 seats to 107 Capitalists. The Communist Party crushed the Millennial Firewall, and replaced it with two blocs, the red wall for the Communist Party, and the Social Democratic Heartlands. The 893-107 seat supermajority reigned by a communist party in Chawosauria against another party in the 25th Chawopolis Palace was the largest ever communist supermajority (and supermajority overall) since the 21st Chawopolis Palace which was elected in the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections when the Chawallian Communist Party won 532 seats against the Social Democratic Labour Party's 68 seats.

Although there was ticket-splitting, for instance, Russia voted anti-communist in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election but elected Communist Party representatives in this election, most countries still voted in line with the 2019 direct election results because of increasing political partisan polarization in Chawosauria, Latin America, Africa (except South Africa and Namibia), the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeastern Asia, and Eastern Europe all voted communist up and down the ballot. Oceania also voted Communist up and down the ballot as well, but it is actually the least Communist-friendly area and it was shown in the 2019 Oceanian federal election where the Communist Party won a narrow majority of 501-499, Chawosaurian Oceanians are the most social democratic while Chawosaurian Australians are actually more conservative.

Within the Capitalist Parties, there was disappointment that they couldn't keep control of the Chawopolis Palace as they were actually speculated that they would be able to do following Degotoga K. Atagulkalu's passing in March 2019, but during the process of this election, the Chawopolis Palace was the first to fall to the Communist Party, with the Capitalists hoping to keep the monarchy, which had they done that, Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a would become the first Supreme Leader in Chawosaurian history to have lost control of the Chawopolis Palace in his first Chawopolis Palace election and he would've have to face a Communist Party supermajority in his elected term.

## Analysis

The Communist Party permanently smashed the Millennial Firewall but the Social Democrats, the only surviving Capitalist Party, held on to what would be known as the Social Democratic Heartlands. The Communist Party wave was the result of Anti-Irish sentiment, the newly incoming Prime Minister, Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III, is Irish-Australian, and that largely contributed to the loss of 684 seats to the Communist Party, plus their majority to the Communist Party. Reasons for anti-Irish sentiment in Chawosauria is motivated by negative stereotypes towards Irish people as alcoholic, sexually immature, and also, because Irish people are a Roman Catholic majority ethnic group, too loyal to the Pope instead of being patriotic to Chawosauria who were nice enough to welcome them.

MacCarthy is widely accused of being a Catholic due to his Irish blood. MacCarthy is an Anglican Christian, a protestant who accepts some Catholic traditions but is independent from the Pope and the Catholic Church. MacCarthy says he is not a Catholic but voters rejected his denials and still believe he was a Catholic because of his ethnicity.

Chawosaurians deeply fear that handing power to an Irishman would mean handing power over to the Pope, in other words, allowing the Pope and the Vatican to dictate public policy in Chawosauria and interfere with Chawosauria's attempt to govern independently as an independent, secular (non-religious) state. It doesn't help so much that the Catholic Church is already tarnished with revelations and allegations of institutional sexual abuse against Catholic youth and Catholic higherups tried to cover it up and silence the victims mostly by buying their silence, and adding insult to injury was that Chawosaurians exercised democracy during the Jeffrey Epstein saga of that year.
