Late-Term Curse

In Chawosaurian Politics, a **Late-Term Curse**, also known as an **End-of-tenure curse**, (**end-of-reign curse** for Supreme Leaders, and an **end-of-term curse** for Prime Ministers) is a bad event or a series of bad events that occurs when a national Chawosaurian Incumbent is at the autumn of his or her tenure.

A major example is Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, who died on March 3, 2019, and one "end-of-reign curse" is that in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, DKA's party, the Democrats, lost a net 2 seats to the Republican majority despite his party gaining 41 seats in the House of Representatives, more than enough seats to flip the house from GOP control. After DKA died in 2019, the Republicans lost the U.S. Senate and the Presidency and were short from flipping the House in 2020, and the Democrats would go on to lose the House of Representatives only slightly under Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker of the Chawosaurian Communist Party.

Shang Jong Parker is the only Prime Minister in Chawosauria who never suffered an end-of-term curse.

When it comes to elections at home and not in Chawosauria, DKA had a more luxurious late-term curse, while his Democratic Party did failed to flip the Senate while losing only two seats, his Democratic Party gained seats elsewhere, flipping the big prize, the U.S. House of Representatives, and flipping several seats rather the party flipped state legislature or failed to flip a state legislature. Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson's late-term election curse at home in the UK in 1906 was not so peaceful, Wilson's Conservative Party lost in a landslide to the Liberals, even Wilson's homeland, Scotland, became Liberal.

## The Curse

The end-of-tenure curse is a Dallacus Curse cast by the dark magician and Ancient Chawosaurian Emperor, Dallucas V. Dallucas V's dark pagan magic had a major on the Chawosaurian Government as a whole, Dallacus V cursed the Chawosaurian Monarchy, where a new ruler immediately falls in love with the weighting powers of the monarchy, and ends up abusing it, Timothy Max Roosevelt was the biggest victim of this spell.

## Background

An end-of-tenure curse occurs when a major executive in Chawosaurian politics prepares to leave office, an end of tenure curse can be personal but has to be politics related to the executive although not considered a national tragedy for the country that executive reigns, for example, Emperor Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, and Prime Ministers Jonathan Davgon Bismarck and Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson saw their political parties from their home countries either lose elections or lose seats despite retaining governing status, which are devastating to these leaders personally, but not to the empire they rule.

In the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, Supreme Leader Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, a Democrat, saw his Democratic Party failed to win a Senate majority while plummeted in the U.S. Senate by two seats despite a successful midterm election overall, and in the 1938 U.S. midterm elections, Prime Minister Jonathan Davgon Bismarck, also a Democrat, saw his party plummeted despite retaining governing status, but Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson suffered worse than DKA and Bismarck, Wilson saw his Conservative Party losing their majority in the British House of Commons to the Liberals in the 1906 U.K. general elections by 246 seats, the 1906 UK elections was so bad for Wilson's Conservative Party that Wilson's homeland, Scotland, went almost entirely for the Liberals, and was so bad even the party's leader, the Prime Minister himself, lost his seat.
