Center Party (Estland)

The **Center Party** (Estian: *Keskerakond*, **KE**) is an agrarian and green liberal political party in Estland. First established in 1905, the party is currently the fifth-largest party represented in the Saadikutemaja. It is affiliated with the Eurean Party of Liberal Democrats.

The party was founded in 1905, by groups of farmers and rural advocates who campaigned for rural interests and a decentralization of power from Otesalu and Medland. Since its formation, the party has continued to campaign on behalf of rural interests, while also establishing itself as a liberal party. As of 2021, the party has approximately 8,100 registered members. The Center Party typically finds most of its support from rural voters.

## Political positions

The Center Party has been described by observers as an agrarian, green liberal, and liberal conservative party. On a left-to-right political spectrum, most observers categorize the Center Party as centrist.

The Center Party believes that rural communities are the most underserved by the government, and ties their political platform to serving these communities. This has led to the Center Party being sometimes seen as a one-issue party, but also amassing great levels of support amongst rural voters. They support a variety of causes meant to aid rural communities, such as decentralization of power, increased local authority, farm subsidies, and increased investiture in rural communities and green proposals. The party has also adopted certain liberal policies, such as lower tax rates.

The party does not have a unified social policy, with some members identifying as social liberals and others identifying as social conservatives. The Center Party does not view social policy as a priority, as they do not believe it has much of an impact on rural communities. The party also does not have a unifying foreign policy, but vehemently opposes proposals in foreign affairs that negatively impact rural communities.

## Date

On 12 September 2015, the Saadikutemaja set the date of the election for 16 January 2016. The Estian constitution mandates that all scheduled elections be held four years following the previous, between the first of the preceding month and the last of the succeeding month. This meant that the election could have been held between 1 December 2015 and 29 February 2016. The Estian constitution also allows for snap elections.

## Electoral system

### Constituencies

The 105 members of the Saadikutemaja are elected through six electoral constituencies, mainly corresponding with the administrative divisions of Estland.

The six constituencies include Antlamäe County, Jõgeküla County, Mõisama County, Otesalu, Otesalu County, and Saarapuu. The five former constituencies elect representatives through open party-list proportional representation. Seats are allocated using the d'Hondt method with a 5% electoral threshold.

Voting-eligible Estians who reside abroad may vote, and will be registered in whichever constituency they last resided, or if they have never resided in Estland, whichever constituency their last Estian resident ancestor resided in.

## Contesting parties

The following parties were represented in parliament following the 2012 election.
Conservative People's Party (Estland)

The **Conservative People's Party** (**CPP**; Estian: *Konservatiivne Rahvaerakond*, **KRE**) is a national conservative and social conservative political party in Estland. First established in 1999 as a merger of the Estland National Party and Estian People's Party, the party is currently the second-largest party represented in the Saadikutemaja. It is affiliated with the Eurean Conservative Democrats.

The party was founded in December 1999 as a merger of the liberal conservative Estland National Party and the Estian nationalist Estian People's Party. Since then, the party has shifted rightward, with most liberal conservatives having since abandoned the party for the Reform Party. As of 2021, the party has approximately 8,650 registered members. The CPP typically finds most of its support from older voters, working-class voters, and rural voters.

## Political positions

The Conservative People's Party has been described by observers as a national conservative, social conservative, and Estian nationalist political party. On a left-to-right political spectrum, most observers categorize the CPP as right-wing, although a minority of individual members may affiliate more with the far-right. Some observers identify the CPP as right-wing populist.

The CPP believes that preserving the Estian national identity is of the utmost importance in Estian politics, and that it is the government's responsibility to put the needs of the nation and its people first. This shows in the CPP's foreign policy, as it shows the most unwillingness in regards to international cooperation and Estland's participation in foreign affairs out of the major Estian political parties, believing that funds spent on international relations is wasted money that could go to prioritizing the Estian people. The CPP is also supportive of significantly lowering immigration levels to Estland, and supports increased efforts to integrate immigrants into Estian society through mandatory civics and language courses, funded by the government.

The CPP is socially conservative, and believes that social liberalism goes against traditionalism and the Estian national identity. The party opposes same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, prostitution, and legalized drug usage, but is generally supportive of abortion. The party is also strongly secular, believing in a clear separation of church and state, and a limit on the public expression of religion. The party believes that it is the government's responsibility to prioritize the needs of its population, and thus supports a large social safety net and social welfare, intended to help reduce poverty. However, the party believes that these programs should not be available to non-citizens. The party also supports high rates of taxation on corporations and the wealthy in order to fund these programs.

Eesto Song 2011

**Eesto Song 2011** was the 2011 edition of Eesto Song, used to select Estland's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. Liis Oja won the competition with her song "Siin, siis ja praegu", her third winning song; with this win, Oja became the first act to win Eesto Song three times. The show was held on 26 February 2011 in Otesalu Hall, and hosted by Catarina Arvidsson.

The show consisted of one final show, with 12 songs competing. Following the performance of all 12 songs, a jury composed of Estian music industry professionals and televoting selected three songs to advance to a superfinal. In the superfinal, the winner was decided by solely Estian televoting.

As the winner, Oja represented Estland at the Eureavision Song Contest 2011, where she placed tenth in the final.

## Format

The format of Eesto Song 2011 remained largely the same as in preceding editions. Twelve songs were internally selected by the broadcaster to compete in the competition, and each were performed on the final night. After all songs were performed, an anonymous 12-person jury consisting of music professionals from Estland assigned points to the songs, culminating in each song having a total jury score. In addition to the jury score, the Estian public could also vote for their favorite songs, and these two scores were combined to create an overall ranking.

Following the combination of the jury and televote rankings, the top three acts advanced to the superfinal. In the superfinal, the three superfinalists each performed again, and the Estian public voted once again for their favorite song. In this round, solely the scores from the public determined the winner.

### Competing entries

The submissions window for interested acts was opened by Eesto Televisioon (ET) on 1 September 2010. Acts could submit songs to the broadcaster through the broadcaster's website, by mail, or by delivering a demo tape to the broadcaster's headquarters in Otesalu.

At least 50% of the songs selected for the final had to be performed primarily in the Estian language.

The submissions window officially closed on 15 November 2010. Afterwards, submitted entries were evaluated by ET producers, an international jury of music professionals, and focus groups of Estian residents.

President of Tahare

**Term length** | Six yearsRenewable indefinitely

The **president of the General Council of Tahare** (Maronan: *Président du conseil général de la Tahare*), often shortened to the **president of Tahare**, is the head of government of Tahare, an overseas region of Marone. Unlike in other countries, the president is not the head of state, as head of state duties are reserved for the president of Marone, with their power usually delegated to the prefect of Tahare, appointed by the president of Marone. In effect, the president of Tahare is the most powerful politician in Taharian regional politics, leading the executive and legislative branches of government in a role akin to a prime minister.

As the head of government, the president is the leader of the government of Tahare and manages their own cabinet of vice-presidents. Within the jurisdiction of the regional government, the president and their government have power over various issues such as budgeting, senatorial appointments, social and administrative services, primary school management, public transportation, and infrastructure, and the president may appoint members of the General Council to cabinet roles to oversee these responsibilities. As the leader of the legislative branch of regional government, the president also manages all legislative duties, including scheduling debates and votes and assigning members to committees. All proposed legislation is also submitted to the president's desk before committee review. The president is also the chief representative of the region and regional government in both national and international affairs. The president may not dissolve the legislature and is not the commander-in-chief of any armed forces. In case of a temporary or permanent incapability by the president to discharge the duties of his or her office, the membership of the General Council votes to select a replacement president to serve out the remainder of the presidential term, although the prefect may opt to call a snap election as well.

The president is directly elected through universal suffrage along with the remainder of members of the General Council. Presidential candidates each are selected as lead candidates of their electoral alliance by other candidates in their alliance prior to the election. The lead candidate of the electoral alliance which receives a majority of seats in the General Council is thus elected the president. The elected president serves for a term of six years, barring the collapse of their government, which may be renewed indefinitely. The president-elect is required to take an oath of office administered by the prefect of Tahare, in the absence of the president of Marone.

2022 Maronan regional election in Fuadeloupe

The **2022 Maronan regional election in Fuadeloupe** was held on 11 June 2022, to elect the 41 members of the General Council in the overseas region of Fuadeloupe. The election coincided with the Fuadeloupean municipal elections, in addition to regional, departmental, and municipal elections nationwide.

## Date

According to the Constitution of Marone, regional elections are to be held the second Saturday of June, every six years in each of the regions of Marone. Regional elections are also to be held concurrently with departmental and municipal elections.

In case of a regional, departmental, or municipal government collapsing, a snap election may be called by the prefect which presides over the jurisdiction, at the request of the president of the regional, departmental, or municipal council. Snap elections do not impact the date of the next regularly scheduled election.

## Electoral system

Maronan regional elections in overseas Marone use a proportional representation system using at-large electoral lists. Prior to the election, political parties may form alliances with each other for the upcoming election. Within each alliance, each political party represented creates a list of candidates ranked from first to forty-eighth, although parties are not obligated to create a complete list, and may have less candidates than there are available seats. Regional elections utilize a closed-list system, so voters cannot alter party lists, and the candidates at the start of each list are highly likely to win seats in the election, regardless of whether their party wins the election. Independent candidates are also permitted to stand, and may be represented as their own independent party within an existing alliance, or entirely independent from any political alliances as well.

Each voter selects one alliance to cast their ballot for, and if the alliance consists of several individual parties, they will select one of the party lists within the alliance to cast their ballot for as well. Following the conclusion of voting, seats are allocated to each alliance according to the Sainte-Laguë method of proportional representation. If an alliance consists of multiple parties, the Sainte-Laguë method will be used to determine which parties win each of the alliance's seats. There is a 5% electoral threshold.

### Eligibility

All Maronan citizens aged 18 or older on the date of the election who registered their primary residence in Fuadeloupe were eligible to both stand in the election as a candidate, and vote in the election. As voting by mail is not permitted in Marone, individuals who were not going to be in their designated electoral district on the date of the election had the option to vote early, with early voting beginning on 28 May 2022.

## Contesting alliances

The following alliances were registered to contest the 2022 regional election, and were treated by the media as major candidates.
