46th Adorian Election

## Electoral System

This election saw the introduction of a brand new experimental election system. After repeated elections of the ARP and AWP brute forcing themselves to the top with mass invites the Staff would intervene. The New Election System (NES) was devised by a newly assembled Election System Team. The core of election results remains primarily devolved from a Pure Proportional Party Vote set a **5%** quota. Independents are allowed to run and recieve a seat provided they obtain **1/85th** of the vote or approxiamtly 1.18%. After the 24 hour Party vote concludes the NES team takes the results and depending on announcements, bills, activity, etc alter the results. The time it takes for the NES calculations to be finished is unknown as this was the first election it was used in.

## Background

#### Unrest

Even ahead of the 45th general election unrest was growing on March 3rd, 2021, thousand of Libeccio residents would petition their Governor Taymurr due to the federal government begining construction of an unwanted bridge in Libeccio. Lavandans would also begin protesting due to telecommunications towers being build on their islands without their consent. However these protests would go unanswered.

#### Labour Riots

On March 1st, 2021, with the Adorian Gendarmerie Act passed, Prime Minister Solesol would appoint Lord of Cookies as head of the branch. This militarized civilian police was unpopular with many. Three days later a repeal would be passed however President Montiel would veto it.

On March 5th, 2021, a General Strike would be declared by the Adorian Federation of Labour, Federalist League of Adoria, and Adorian Workers Collective. Their goals were a repeal of Law 187 the Legalization Act which legalized anti-union advertisements, a repeal of the Gendarmerie and for Public sector workers to receive wages promised by the government. On March 6th, 2021, 230,000 workers would hear the call and began protesting with 50,000 in Ador City alone the next day the 45th Government would form with Germania as Prime Minister protestors would rise to up to 260,000. On March 8th, 2021, The National Assembly would overide Montiel's veto and repeal the Gendarmerie Act however the You're Fired! Act of 2021 would also be proposed on this day. This bill would have legalized workplace discrimination but CrisisKat would convince Shuzi to change her vote in the last minute preventing the bill from passing. On March 13th, 2021 Law 217 was passed repealing the Legalization Act. High Prime Minister Germania would then announce a military parade to celebrate the end of the strikes and the passing of Law 217. Many however would announce that they would not be attending the parade as they did not approve of the Non-interventionalist methods the Government had used and how the ruling coalition had combated the protestors' demands.

#### Antarctic Program

On March 8th, 2021 the National Assembly would pass its infamous Adorian Antarctic Program, authored by Aklanos Governor, Riccardo Ferola. In an interview with Satsewma at the Proletariat would exclaim at the advantagous nature of going into Antarctica such as research conducted on ice cores and galaxies discovered at the Southpole telescope and how even nations like Ukraine and Argentina have built bases in Antarctica. This motion would quickly know tragedy.

On March 17th, 2021, the antarctic expedition team would land and drive via snow mobile to the Amundsen-Scott Base. However they would be denied entry as they had not made any arrangements with the base and the Americans could risk running out of supplies and food. At -51°C (-59.8°F) the scientists would make their return through the cold with little chances at survival. Concordia Station would also deny access.

> Due to the Antarctic winter starting in a few days access has been denied, we cannot spare any supplies either anymore. We wish Adoria luck on their journey back before they freeze to death. We would also like to suggest adoria to better plan before hand and not join in last minute, the base might be open In October-November.

In a first attempt to rescue the scientists a Plane would be flown over to Antarctica however the Plane would crash in Southeastern Libya due to fuel shortage. With no way to finish the trip communications would be lost as a storm passed by. Ferola then tried to rescue the scientists on his own by going on a commercial flight to Ushuaia, Argentina and then flying on his own in a Twin Otter to the South Pole. The next day it was discovered that 7 of the 12 scientists had died and that Ferola's Twin Otter plane was no longer functionable. Ferola has brought in the remaining scientists into his crashed Twin Otter for warmth since he claimed the AC heating was still working, and had melted snow in a kettle for the scientists to drink. The Argentine government would be angered by the disregard to their officials however to Adoria's luck would offer to rescue the remaining scientists. The Adorian Government happily accepted and acknowledged that an extradition agreement would be needed to get Ferola out of Argentine Prison. After serving 4 days in Argentine Prison Ferola would be let of prison on March 28th, 2021.

#### Impeachment of Parsa

On March 9th, 2021, reports of brawls between Monarchists and Unionists which resulted in 4 injuries during the general strike would be reported. After some investigation it became known that they were incited by the Monarchist Society of Adoria, chaired by Parsa who was offering cash rewards for acts of political violence against leftists.

Lavanda Governor ChefStockLlama (now Frederick Gyldenløve I) would present an Impeachment inquiry to the NA due to Parsa inciting his Monarchist Society to commit violence even going as far as to say, "We offer 2000 lira for every leftist who got beat up in the strikes" and, "10,000 Lira for every leftist that gets beat in a hospital". The inquiry would be tied 29-29 with Vice President Cameron breaking the tie and casting a Yay. On March 14th, 2021, for treason and a violation of public trust Parsa became the 2nd individual to be impeached by the 5th Republic.

## Results

Seat counts were announced on Adorian Memorial Day, March 20th, 2021. Further statistics including the Popular Vote were announced 2 days later on March 22nd, 2021. With **199** counted votes this election saw a turnout of 31.05%.

## Government Formation

With the results announced many were greatly dissatified with the results as they viewed them as greatly undemocratic. Just One hour after the seat results were announced a LeftCo was able to form. This great swiftness was viewed by many as suspicious. The Government formed by the SDP, UWF, AWP, BA and also Frederick Gyldenlove held together **34.18%** of the popular vote.
