82nd Adorian Election

←81st - 13th of August 2022 - 83rd→

## 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 will use AES with the next 2 also utilizing AES.

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.

## Backround

After 10 months (6 days irl) since the 81st general election, a new government would finally form, with former Duke of Libeccio Theodore Roosevelt (Yannick) becoming the new Chancellor winning in an unexpected way. The Chancellorship elections started on August 3rd after the Vote of Confidence for Chancellor Valeryon was withdrawn (Valeryon was muted for a week and later left the server).

In the elections there were four candidates two from the Social Democratic Party and two Independents: former SDP Deputy Leader bossmansoldier, SDP member Remus J. Trimble, an Independent Theodore Roosevelt and an Independent Carlos Montiel. The right-wing parties decided to strategically split their vote, with CSM, LUA and KAB voting for Theodore Roosevelt and ANP and AFP voting for Carlos Montiel, to ensure that no candidate gets over 50%, resulting in snap elections. However, this strategy would not work out well, because bossmansoldier managed to get over 50% of the votes early in the elections.

The turning point would however happen on 5th of August when bossmansoldier would unexpectedly die in his sleep (bossmansoldier left the server), resulting in Theodore Roosevelt to win the elections by default after he came second in the vote. The same day would follow a Vote of Confidence in Chancellor Theodore Roosevelt, which Roosevelt won fairly easily, with 30 votes in favor and 17 votes against, with the SDP voting against the Vote of Confidence. Chancellor Roosevelt would appoint his cabinet the next day, on August 6th, with CSM holding 4 ministries and Vice Chancellorship, ANP holding 2 ministries, KAB, LUA and LD holding 1 ministry each.

### CSM-UWF Merge

On 3rd of August the leader of the United Workers’ Front Alice Roosevelt von Gyldenløve, publicly announced that the United Workers’ Front would be merging into the Christian Solidarity Movement. Moments later, the leader of the Christian Solidarity Movement Ethan, would soon follow announcing that the CSM accepts the merge. This would mark an end to the 5th United Workers’ Front, which was founded on the 10th of June 2022 (so the party was 55 days old).

Surprisingly, Alice von Gyldenløve did not hold a leadership vote on the matter, though the party by-laws did not require a vote on the matter. However, it is still rather unexpected and the leadership of the UWF would have probably voted against such proposal. The CSM leadership did hold a vote which passed in favor of merging. There were attempts to change the name of the Christian Solidarity Movement and create a new logo, however CSM by-laws forbid logo and name change in case of mergers, alongside that Based\_Autocrat was fiercely against any name and logo change. The United Workers’ Front and the Christian Solidarity Movement despite being on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, have been cooperating in the National Assembly for quite some time now. This is mostly because both parties were economically left, though CSM is socially very conservative, and UWF claimed to be socially neutral however the leader of the UWF Alice supported some conservative policies, such as being against abortion and supporting Christian values in general. The other reason why the parties were cooperating for some time now was also due to the influence of Based\_Autocrat in the UWF, as both Valeryon and bossmansoldier accused UWF being a puppet party of the CSM as Based\_Autocrat, former CSM leader, was helping UWF in campaigning and was also an admin in the UWF server.

### Tomi's Tomfoolery

The provincial government of Synaro experienced some radical changes soon after the gubernatorial elections, that took place at the same time as the General Election. Just 2 irl days after Commissioner of Synaro StarBees&Axolotl was elected, the Commissioner decided appoint Tomi as Vice Commissioner and resigned from his post, making Tomi the new Commissioner. The new Commissioner of Synaro, Tomi II, has made it clear to the public that his goal is to denazify the province of Synaro, as according to his words, “has been victim of previous Nazi commisioners.” Commissioner Tomi has announced his intentions to create a *Synaro Nazi Register* as well as creating an app called *“NaziGO!”* where citizens of Synaro will be able to go around the province and catch nazis. How exactly will this app work is unclear. The Synaro Nazi Regesiter has already some names in it, including many well- known Adorian politicians such as Auber, Bert, Assembly President Earthly, former Minister of Interior Meow Zedong. Personalities on the list were added by Tomi himself, however there were cases where people reported themselves, as for example David Pines.

Before resigning, Commissioner StarBees&Axolotl proposed a provincial bill titled *“The Synaro Abolition Amendment”* which would rename Synaro to simply “Zone Three” and creating a holiday titled *“Sayonara Synaro”* celebrating the abolishment of the province. This bill would however not pass with 24 votes against and two votes for. Vice Commissioner Tomi would be vocally against this bill, urging everyone to downvote the bill. Later Vice Commissioner Tomi said that the commissioner did not post the bill from his own will, but that a nazi broke into his office and threatened him. Commissioner StarBees&Axolotl would later agree with the statement, that he was threatened by Nazis.

On August 5th, Tomi would officially rename the office of Commissioner to Colonel, arguing that the title Commissioner *"has shown to be a Nazi title and a relict of past times of Nazi Germany and Soviet Union"*. The bill would pass narrowly with 19 votes in favor and 18 votes against. A day later Tomi would attempt to rename Synaro to Eton, a province from older Adoria, however this bill would fail by a large margin.

## Government Formation

After the results were released, it was less than surprisiing that the CSM would be the one forming the government, with 52 seats. The CSM would submit a Vote of Confidence in Alice Roosevelt von Gyldenlove, deputy leader of CSM, as the next chancellor. Party leader Ethan was governor of Mediterraneo at the time so he could not become chancellor and second party leader Based Autocrat was asked by Alice if she could became chancellor as she wanted that position for a long time. Based Autocrat obliged as he was not interested in the Chancellor position.

The Vote of Confidence passed without any trouble, and Chancellor Alice appointed her cabinet on 18th of August, 2022, With 8 out of 9 cabinet seats being held by the CSM, and one (Ministry of Defense) held by the ANP, as liimur was considered as an expert in the field and CSM had no one better to give the position to. Alongside ANP, KAB and some independents agreed to support governments legislation, becoming Confidence & Support,in exchange for the CSM to support their bills.
