**Social Democratic +263**

The **Chawosaurian Elections of 1975** were held on December 31, 1975, to elect all 600 members of the Chawopolis Palace, and to replace the aging Emperor Santiago, these elections were held following the communist victory in the Vietnam War and in the middle of the conservative Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII's fourth term as well as in the midst of Bismarck's unpopularity.

The Communist Party won unified control of the Monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace, Timothy Max Roosevelt is the first Supreme Leader to come in with a mandate but his communist mandate is a little slim. Supreme Leaders Antonio Kingston in 2011, Joseph Mario Lopez in 2015, Samantha Wawetseka in 2016, Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a in 2019, and Shang Jong Parker in 2020, would all follow suit at entering office with mandates, regardless if their mandates were slim or strong.

In the 1975 Chawosaurian direct election, Timothy Max Roosevelt, the Communist Party candidate and Speaker of the Palace, won the monarchy by a landslide victory over Victoria Belinsky, the Conservative UK candidate, and George Windsor, the Labour UK candidate. Winning by a 99.7% popular vote margin. The Communist Party gained control of the monarchy from 75 years of Capitalist control.

The 1975 Chawosaurian legislative elections were held in the middle of the right-wing Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII's fourth term, all Bismarck's 600 conservative candidates were obliviously defeated in all 600 races for all four houses in the Palace. The Communist Party retained control of the Palace despite losing seats to a wave of social-democratic candidates led by George Windsor, which would eventually lead to his election as Leader of the Opposition. The Communist Party held on control of the Palace.

Chawosauria discovered the death of Garfield Lucas Webster have happened nearly 20-years ago at the time. Garfield Webster was a forgotten prime minister after he left office as Prime Minister in 1919, Webster was forgotten because he was hugely unpopular because the Chawosaurian people held him responsible for the collapse of world peace in World War I and its aftermath, plus his handling of such events when he was in office. When Webster was discovered in 1971, reported on frequently in 1973 to 1975, and his prime ministerial record revealed to the Chawosaurian world, he became revered as a great prime minister because of his policies being overwhelmingly linked to a forgotten socialist ideology called social democracy which explained the post-WWI and pre-1945 overwhelmingly popular socialist programs such as Chawosaurian Boarding Schools, labor union power over politics, and democratic representation of workers in the corporate sector, allowing a resurgence of social democracy, helping clear the way for new social democratic candidates run in the 1975 legislative elections, and their leader, George Windsor, announcing his candidacy for the monarchy in this year's election. The social democrats gained 263 seats in the Chawopolis Palace despite failing to win a majority, and Windsor was crushed by Timothy Max Roosevelt. The Social Democratic Labour Party of Chawosauria was founded as a result of the social-democratic wave in the 1975 legislative elections.

With this election result, Chawosauria has transformed into a complete socialist state, a state-controlled by both Communists and Social Democrats. This election outcome was attributed to the widespread unpopularity of the two anti-communist leaders Emperor Santiago and Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, and the Communist victory the Fall of Saigon resulting in the reunification of Vietnam into a full Communist state. The Communist Party will control the monarchy until the 2016 Monarchical Selection upon the resignation of Samantha Wawetseka, and the Palace until the 2017 midterm elections.

The Communist Party's successful pickup of the monarchy was a major deal in this election, especially because the Communist Party's gain of the monarchy meant the Anti-Communist Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII could no longer have the reliance of monarchical vetoes to prevent the passage of Communist or extreme left-wing pieces of legislation.

The Communist Party wins control of both the monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace, but the new opposition party, the Social Democratic Labour Party, gained seats in the Chawopolis Palace, that would be duplicated in the United States during its 2020 election, where the U.S. Democratic Party won control of both the presidency and congress, except the Republican Party gained seats despite losing the presidency.

## Background

Emperor Santiago was so old that he announced his retirement from the monarchy in 1973, triggering a direct election in the middle of the 1975 legislative elections. The conservative Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII was deeply and widely unpopular, having an approval rating as low as 8%, and conservatives in Chawosauria tried desperately to distance themselves from him. Communism was emboldened by the communist victory in the Vietnam War, and post-WWII social-democracy started to gain strength and popularity in Chawosauria as a result of the discovery of Garfield Lucas Webster's social-democratic premiership. With the monarchy now up for election for the first time since 1899, the stage was obviously set for a Communist Party government-trifecta.

## Campaign

It was tough for conservatives when being linked by their leftist opponents to Bismarck, conservatives widely discouraged Bismarck from running for the monarchy in 1975, and instead nominated Victoria Belinsky, but turned out she ran a Bismarckian campaign, adding damage to the conservatives' chances. With Communism now rules Vietnam after crushing the South Vietnamese after being abandoned by the United States in 1973 at its vulnerability, the Communist Party had a comfortable path to victory but with a challenge, the ideology of social democracy began to gain strength after being noticed in both the United States after the New Deal and the Great Society, and the United Kingdom with recent Labour wins since the 1945 landslide election.

While the conservatives struggled to distance themselves from Bismarck's unpopularity, the communists had to shrug off strong social democratic opponents led by George Windsor. The Communist Party had been the incumbent party in the Chawopolis Palace's legislature since 1946, incumbency has huge election advantage, so nobody can beat an incumbent Communist Party. This helped Timothy Max Roosevelt, the Communist Party nominee for the monarchy, win the monarchy by a crushing landslide victory over Victoria Belinsky and George Windsor.

## Aftermath

This election began an era of Communist Party vs Social Democratic Party competition in legislative elections throughout the remainder of the Cold War to the Chawosaurian Revolution and was restored after the 2019 Chawosaurian elections. Timothy Max Roosevelt ruled Chawosauria until he died in 2011.
