←80th - 28th of July 2022 - 82nd→

## Electoral System

*Further information:* AES explanatory doc*,* PMA explanatory doc

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election was originally planned to utilize the popular vote but was moved up ahead of schedule to be the 80th Adorian Election so the 81st Adorian Election will now utilize AES along with the next 3.

The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% of the AES with other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. The AES is overseen by Matthew V. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.

As the previous election utilized popular vote, all bills and announcements of both the 79th and 80th government terms are used to calculate the 81st election results. This is to ensure that all bills and actions have weight.

## Background

Formed on 17 July 2022 the SDP-UWF-CSM coalition would be formed after the passing of Valeryon's appointment to Chancellor with **55.71%**. A key arrangement would be made to maintain status quo abortion nationally, while allowing an abortion ban in Mediterraneo.

### SC Review of Abortion

As the constitution had so recently changed, the constitutionality of over 900 laws had been brought into question with it, most prevalently abortion. UWF's MarcZucc would challenge the *Mediterraneo Life Act* for violating the national *Abortion Regulations Act* but he would soon however drop this case. On July 17th 2022, the Supreme Court would begin a review into abortion as requested by CSM Leader Ethan to address its constitutionality under the new constitution. His largest reason would be Article 1 declaring *"Human life is inviolable and it shall be the duty of the republic at all times to respect, protect and serve its vulnerable state"*. Justices RMSteve, Arjona, and CJ Greene would prescribe to this view while Justice MarcZucc would believe brain activity that can truly be considered life does not form until 18-22 weeks. Justice Von Oldrich would strongly disagree with the idea unborn life being constitutionally protected life.

On July 19th 2022, the SC would deliver their verdict of abortion being fully unconstitutional except in cases of danger to the Mother's life. This radical revelation would send shockwaves as being even more politically consequential than the US's *Dobbs v. Jackson*.

Founding Father of the Sixth Federal Republic, Meow Zedong would take much issue with this verdict as Article 15 (Protection of Privacy and Body) had not even been considered. And an abortion ban had not been in the framers' (himself) intentions. Justice MarcZucc would invoke his right as Justice to reopen cases and CJ Greene would accept. Later that day however CJ Greene would leave the server to spend his summer on a more fulfilling life.

It would not be until July 26th 2022, that new appointments would be passed promoting Von Oldrich to be the new Chief Justice and adding David Cameron to the court filling the vacancies. As CJ, Oldrich would immediately accept Justice MarcZucc's request to reopen the case. All previous justices would stick to their previous convictions while the new Justice Cameron would support upholding the previous verdict even if he disagreed with it he did not want to normalize reopening cases whenever the bench changes simply for political reasons. With the opinion of the court remaining the same, no verdict would be delivered.

### Law 1000

With Law 1000 quickly approaching Adoria was set to reach #1,000 for the very first time something that nukes in the past had prevented it from reaching. Under the advice of President King Adoria, Chancellor Valeryon would propose the *Thorium reactors will be built* Act, a meme bill consisting of a single section: *Thorium powered nuclear reactors will be built*, a reference to *Law 1* of the First Republic (yes, it was only 7 words long), passed in August 2019 as the first law after the Bacon nuke. KA's signature would include 28 titles along with it in reference to a 2019 practice of signing with extravagantly long titles something that used to be popular until getting banned in October 2019. On July 28th 2022, the bill would unanimously pass becoming Law 1000 with only björn.thx voting against. The law is considered a meme bill so it does not actually open up Adoria for nuclear construction.

## Results

On July 28th 2022, the 81st Adorian Election would go live concurrent with the 35th Adorian Presidential Election. After concluding the next day, it would take 28 hours for results to released on July 31st 2022. Results would be compilation of every action performed throughout the 79th and 80th terms. SDP's massive rise was widely expected. AFP would be able to preserve some success due to activity in the 79th term despite being inactive in the 80th. Turnout: **18.01%**.

## Government Formation

With results released it was evident the SDP would be forming government. SDP Leader Valeryon would wait until loosing the 35th presidential election before nominating a chancellor candidate. On August 2nd 2022, newly inaugurated President Zedong would nominate Valeryon for another term as chancellor. The nomination would be unpopular and its passage would be uncertain. Many would remind Val he had now lost 4 presidential elections this would cumulate with Val getting himself muted for a week and leaving the server entirely before it ran out. After this both President Zedong and Chancellor Valeryon would agree to withdraw the nomination fast-tracking the assembly president elections. Around 53.85% voted against Val's nomination.

As the nomination had failed, the Assembly would now elect a Chancellor. The frontrunners would be Yannick and Bossman with the latter emerging victorious. However on August 4th 2022, before assuming the chancellorship Bossman would ragequit Adoria. The next day President Zedong would nominate Yannick to be Chancellor to fill the vacancy. It would pass on August 6th 2022 with **63.04%** in favor. Yannick would shortly announce his new government of CSM, ANP, KAB, LD, LUA, himself, and Nepo. This would be the first 5-party coalition since the 49th government 15 months ago and the first government formed under an Independent since the 45th government 17 months ago. This is also the first time the largest party in the NA was in opposition since the 71st term.
