1915 Chawosaurian legislative elections

The **1915 Chawosaurian legislative elections** were supposed to be held in late 1915, but they were canceled due to the severity of World War I. Chawosaurians were angry over the cancelation of the election, and the man who unilaterally canceled the election, Prime Minister Garfield Lucas Webster, received a heavy backlash and became an unpopular Prime Minister as a result.

## Background

Garfield Lucas Webster became Prime Minister on January 1, 1910, but he never participated as a party leader in the 1909 Chawosaurian legislative elections, which saw a populist wave. Webster was not allowed to participate in the U.K. Labour Party because of widespread anti-socialist sentiment in Chawosauria at that time period. Chawosaurian politics was dominated by British political parties because of the Westminster Agreement as a settlement of the Chawo-Wolfsberg War, and then because Webster could not participate in the Labour Party, he declined to participate in the 1909 elections.

Webster, as Prime Minister, used his power and influence to bring socialism to power through the Prime Ministership, overcoming desperate corporate spending by using his own money, and the power of the Socialist Republic of North America, to bring labor unions to political power, and be the ultimate force of Chawosaurian politics, and with that, Garfield Webster becomes a widely popular Prime Minister among the Chawosaurian people, especially working-class Chawosaurians.

As the 1915 elections is on the horizon, there was significant concern among the anti-socialist establishment that Webster would use his political influence to lift the ban of the Labour Party UK and then participate as a party leader of the Chawosaurian candidates of the Labour Party UK and cruise on a coattail effect of Webster's wide popularity, and Chawosauria would've had the same politics of that of the post-war United Kingdom. It may've meant Garfield Webster would serve as many terms as he could possibly retrieve as Prime Minister, serving more than just the 1910s, another major serious concern for anti-socialists. 1910-14 was the highest peak of Webster's premiership.

Then came World War I (the great war, then) in 1914, the peace that Webster enjoyed was destroyed by the geopolitical and ethnic tensions of Europe and the assassination of an Austrian-Hungarian duke (Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria), the great war erupted and the war spreads continent-wide. Webster was forced to cancel the 1915 elections because of the disruption of peace the war brought, and then with no election in 1915 than originally planned, and the loss of Chawosaurian life to the war (via war drafts and military invasions), Webster becomes an unpopular Prime Minister. World War I made Garfield Webster miserable, angry, and less motivated for the prime ministership, he spends the first four years of the war struggling but failing miserably to lead Chawosauria as Prime Minister through this massive geopolitical disaster without the backing of the Chawosaurian public that he once enjoyed.

By 1917, more geopolitical chaos erupts, Russia falls to a civil war caused by a communist uprising, and then a healthcare crisis by 1918, a massive flu epidemic called the Spanish flu, which will eventually get Webster infected, and then other post-war problems. Webster, no longer could he handle the increasing pressure of the late 1910s, has gone insane, and then luckily but a stalemate result in the 1919 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

## World War I and Cancellation

Because of World War I, the 1915 elections could not withstand the war environment for Chawosaurians to vote. Absentee ballots were not used until 1979, and the war worsens to its negative levels, especially in Europe. Webster canceled the elections and drew strong criticism for it, causing his popularity to take a big dip. Conservatives in the Chawopolis Palace, though they approved Webster's request to cancel 1915, cast Webster as a dictator.

## Debate on rather Garfield Webster would've won

It is debated on rather Garfield Webster would win a mandate in the Chawopolis Palace through his legalization of the UK Labour Party. A Labour mandate in the Chawopolis Palace would further strengthen Webster's hand in power, he would've been elevated to Speaker of the Chawopolis Palace, taking this powerful position from Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy, and there wouldn't be a need for a communist party victory in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

But it is widely said that Garfield Webster would've lost the 1915 Chawopolis Palace elections in the worse way possible, Webster wasn't popular in the beginning of his prime ministership, but while his popularity had been gaining, other socialist politicians always had been defeated by landslide margins.
