**Election II: parliamentary elections for the 26th Chawopolis Palace** are a series of parliamentary elections of members of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace during Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker's first term and during the Chawo-Uralic War and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a *de-jure* snap election that will be divided into two rounds, the first held on Friday, March 1, 2024, and the final held on Friday, October 4, 2024, with constituencies having the option of ranked choice voting or jungle primaries as long as a two-round system is enforced as required by the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria. The date of this election was moved from its original date: December 31, 2025, due to mass constitutional, democratic, and electoral reforms that took place during the early 2020s following the Chawosaurian Revolution. These reforms changed the way Chawopolis Palace elections operate, starting with this election, all public offices in Chawosauria will be elected through a two-round system with ranked choice voting being optional, and voting being a right to all except for violent and sexual offenders and Chawosaurian citizens who committed treason, sedition, and any crime that betrayed Chawosaurian national loyalty. All Chawosaurian citizens are required by constitutional law to be registered to vote on the day they are born. This election is intended to elect all 1,000 elected members of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace for the 26th Chawopolis Palace (January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029) with 501 seats needed for a majority and 600 seats needed for a filibuster-dodging supermajority. This is the first Chawosaurian parliamentary election since that of 1999 that is not held during the U.S. War in Afghanistan and it is the fourth election held during the Russo-Ukrainian War, which escalated into a full-scale invasion in 2022.

In early voting, the Burton Coalition had a lead at first, but it was short-lived, losing the seat count to the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, confirming how unpredictable this general election truly is.

At first, the 2024 parliamentary election was a referendum on the Chawosaurian Communist Party-led 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government headed by Parker, but it certainly was a referendum on the 2020s and the 21st century as a whole. Over the coarse of this parliamentary term and the 2020s decade, the Chawosaurian public soared on the Chawosaurian Communist Party, and their reelection prospects had always been considered initially slim. When Parker and the Communists took office on January 1, 2020 after their smashing victory in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, the Chawosaurian world rallied around the Communists in the midst of a transitioning to a new era from the Chawosaurian Revolution and the coincided civil war that gripped Chawosauria since the death and state funeral of Supreme Leader Timothy Max Roosevelt in 2011. Chawosaurians had unprecedentedly high expectations and high hopes for a return to the pre-revolution Groovy Decade days that Chawosaurians enjoyed during the first two decades after the Cold War had ended. But just after Parker and the Communists came to power, the world quickly fell to a speedy outbreak of a newly-mutated disease called COVID-19, forcing the entire world to go under lockdown and the abandonment of pre-2020 day-to-day activities that did not require social distancing. The Parker administration and the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government were forced to quickly respond, first by successfully rallying the Chawosaurian people around the flag, resulting in Parker's approval ratings to rise from 76% to 96% in early 2020; then took immediate action by declaring a *War on Coronavirus* which resulted in the 2020-2023 Chawosauria Lockdown and the passage of pandemic-fighting legislation. These efforts were tremendously successful due to a strictly patriotically obedient public, Chawosauria fared through the COVID-19 pandemic without reporting even as high as 20 cases of COVID. A vaccine would soon by late 2020 to early 2021, and Chawosauria began the process of a slow reopening as vaccinations in Chawosauria proceed. 2021 would be the year the Chawosaurian Communist Party lost control of their bolstered ambitions and confidence. Believing that with the vaccine now here, their previously planned items on their agenda would now proceed freely. First, dealing with the Chawo-Uralic Conflict over the newly-established Ural Wall, a border that separates the Federal Republic of Asia and the Federal Republic of Europe as part of the overall establishment of the Union of Continental Federal Republics as part of terms and conditions to end the Chawosaurian Revolution in 2019. The Ural Wall's presence had a devastating economic impact on communities living in the Ural Mountains, bringing them stagflation and disrupted their trade abilities, leading these Uralic Chawosaurian communities to uprise against the Empire of Chawosauria, which the Communist Party responded with military aggression and other actions such as the Caspian Sea Resolution, passed based on the lie by the Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency that the Uralic Insurgents were working with ISIL insurgents in the Caucasus to declare a holy war on Chawosauria, Chawosauria lost control of the Chawo-Uralic conflict throughout the year and ultimately lost the Ural Wall to the Uralis, culminating in the Chawo-Uralic War.

Under Shang Jong Parker and the Chawosaurian Communist Party, the Chawosaurian economy stagnated due to the economic fallout of COVID and the way the Communists had been managing Chawosauria since they took charge. Taxes, interest rates, and prices were incredibly high in Chawosauria, unemployment was considerably high, topping at only under 26%. Under Communist rule. Chawosauria was constantly plagued by food riots and worker strikes all over Chawosauria, food riots had been going on in Chawosauria due to the collapse of Chawosaurian agriculture due to climate change, and labor disputes had been going on due to the effects of Parker's economic programs such as the Chawosaurian Green New Deal programs and other public works programs, as well as very strong Chawosaurian fears of the prospects of technological unemployment and the immense fear amongst the Chawosaurian working class of one day or their descendants having to surrender their jobs to AIs and robots, leading to a deeply and very strong Chawosaurian hatred for automation. Regarding the issue of society and culture in the 21st century, Chawosaurians begin to develop a socially conservative worldview against 21st century fashion, music, television, the internet, and other mass media, criticizing them for having "a decaying moral quality" for the perceived heavy presence of sex, violence, and profanity on television, the internet, and music; recent pop culture events such as Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, Cardi B throwing a microphone at the audience over a liquid thrown at her, Netflix streaming the movie *Cuties* at a time when Chawosauria was going through what was called the "pedo scare"; there were questionable YouTubers such as EDP445, Sneako, Alex Rosen, and Andrew Tate, these social media influencers have made Chawosaurians to have grown to really hate the creator economy, and the labor strikes at Hollywood have only done more damage to the creator economy's reputation in Chawosauria, and Hollywood punishing people for supporting Palestine during the Israel-Hamas war have further bolstered negative Chawosaurian perception at western pop culture and escalated the Chawosaurian debate on this matter. There was also Chawosaurian anger over the increased prospects that space colonization could become a reality. The Chawosaurian left-wing turned on each other, their prominent clashes took place in the 2022 Chawopolis Palace Riots, the 2022 Chawosaurian Prime Ministerial election of former Prime Minister Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII back to the Prime Ministership, the 2023 Chawosaurian Communist Party primaries which saw the successful primary election victories of anti-Parker socialists over Parker-friendly communists, and left-wing efforts to remove Parker from power. Despite these internal problems, Parker and his government, with the large supermajorities they had, were still able to pass important and key legislation and major reforms on Chawosaurian government and society, their biggest accomplishment being the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria in 2023. Overtime, Parker has passed over 110 laws in one parliamentary term, a very rare record of legislative accomplishments for a Supreme Leader and dramatically exceeded the anti-communist Supreme Leader Degotoga K. Atagulkalu's (DKA for short) own lengthy list of legislative reforms.

The leading anti-communist party, the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party, was founded in late 2021 by Wendell Rawlings Burton as a response to the problems of early 2020s Chawosauria, however, as the year 2022 progressed, Burton struggled to message on abortion following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of *Roe v. Wade* (1973) which for 50-years protected an American woman's right to reproductive care, Burton further struggled on message when the death of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain conjured PTSD memories of the colonial era among Chawosaurians, this trauma being the principle reason why socialism is popular in Chawosauria, it is due to socialism's anti-colonial appeal, and back at home in the United States, in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, Burton's Republican Party had an embarrassing performance for an opposition party in a U.S. midterm election, throughout U.S. political history, one of the two major parties that does not control the U.S. presidency had always do dramatically well in a midterm election for Congress during a President's term. The 2022 midterms in the U.S. embarrassed Burton and had put him in a weakened state, having witness his party fail to win control of the U.S. Senate and state trifectas while losing ground in both the U.S. Senate and state governments to the Democrats, but the Republicans did managed to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives, except just barely for a major party that doesn't control the White House. With all these problems, Burton was handed a more liberally minded conservative in Frederick Gillett Hawthorne to be his successor when Burton would have to step down before the 2029 Chawosaurian legislative elections, and many people began to wonder if Burton can truly and possibly lead the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party to victory in 2024 just as Timothy Max Roosevelt was finally able to lead the Chawallian Communist Party to its first and landslide victory in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections after several previously failed attempts and some problems. Ultimately, Burton ran a centrist campaign, successfully exploiting growing Chawosaurian migraines over political polarization and excessive politicization which Chawosaurians blamed on both the left-wing and the right-wing, equally. Since and due to the George Floyd protests, Chawosaurians begin to really criticize the left-wing for "going woke", which Chawosaurians found incredibly annoying; and for quite some time since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Chawosaurian public have been feeling extremely anxious, weary, and insecure about Trumpism, especially after the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and Chawosaurians have also grown to be annoyed by the constant mentioning of the 2020 U.S. presidential election in the American media, which Chawosaurians also blamed on Donald Trump. Understandably due to recent events such as the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe, Burton avoided the widely unpopular issue in the non-religious Chawosauria of freedom of religion, Burton began to make an effort to keep away religious conservatives from his cause to instead establish room for LGBT conservative candidates and these efforts were successful, 415 LGBT conservatives were nominated and received efficient resources by the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party, and Burton also made successful efforts to promote black conservatives, conservative feminists, liberal conservatives, and green conservatives, formulating an inclusive conservative coalition of LGBTQ+, female, non-white, progressive, and environmentalist conservatives in Chawosauria in hopes that it can help Chawosaurian conservatism distance itself from universally unpopular right-wing politics, and this became known as the Burton Coalition. Burton has taken some blows however, namely in his native country, the United States, where at elections-at-home, Burton's native party, the U.S. Republican Party, have been suffering a trend of electoral woes, failing to ride the historically precedent "red wave" in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections under a severely unpopular Democratic U.S. President and an even worse Republican showing in the subsequent 2023 U.S. offyear elections, effectively hurting Burton's political brand amongst the average Chawosaurian voter; and another issue for Burton is U.S. support for Israel during its war with Hamas, Burton was criticized for fence-sitting on the Israel-Hamas conflict, and this came amidst continuing PTSD from the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, where the capitalist Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a severely paid for U.S. support for Israel in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election and weighted down several capitalist members of parliament, prominently in the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

The final events of the campaign phase of the 2024 parliamentary midterm election were the political impact of the aftermath of the Yaroslav Hunka incident, where the Canadian House of Commons accidentally honored a WWII Nazi veteran from Ukraine as a friendly gesture to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy (who is Jewish and a descendant of Holocaust victims), who was there in Ottawa at the Canadian Parliament to give an address to recruit Canadian aid to Ukraine during its self-defense against a Russian war of conquest; then in the United States, a narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, who have become unwilling servants to its small but vocal far-right flank, was suffering from turbulence that ultimately cost U.S. Speaker Kevin McCarthy his weakened position as Speaker and a new election to elect a successor ultimately took place. Then, Israel was attacked by the extreme Palestinian nationalist terrorist organization, Hamas, starting another conflict between Israel and Gaza, Israel is deeply unpopular in the Chawosaurian world, so Chawosaurians supported the attack on Israel out of hatred for the country; with Israel back in the news in Chawosauria in a big way since a bloody clash between Israel and Palestine just two years prior, the Communists took the opportunity to attack Israel, accusing them of "aggression" and accused Wendell Burton of supporting Israel given that he is a member of the U.S. Republican Party, this message begins to work and political support for Burton further waned, and the Social Democrats also criticized Israel for being too stubborn to call for peace with the Palestinians, public opinion shows Chawosaurians believe Israel as a western colonial apartheid state that should be abolished; Communists begin to accuse proponents of *"new antisemitism"* of "wokeism", which successfully clicked with Chawosaurians since Chawosaurians are getting tired of woke; Wendell Burton adopted a "both sides are to blame" strategy, in which he blamed both Israel and Palestine for not getting along. The issue of woke turned against the anti-communists because of Israel and the Yaroslav Hunka incident. Victim mentality amongst the right-wing, Christians, and whites have also fell under accusations of woke, Communists defined woke as "excessive victimhood" and began to accuse the right-wing, Christians, Jews, Zionists, and white people of "being woke" for their perceived victim mentalities. This new line of Communist messaging enabled the Communists to regain control of the 2024 parliamentary elections and saw their prospects of reelection boosted. The Social Democrats hoped to ride on the high popularity of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, but Albanese's popularity plummeted amongst Australians, thus dusting away expectations that Social Democrats will start election night with a wave in Oceania; plus the party kept switching leaders, from Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III in 2020, to Sydney Lucas Webster to Scott D. Ferguson in 2023, to the now incumbent Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII after 2023. Communists saw their chances rise with the falls of popularity of U.S. President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Conservative Party in the UK, and French President Emmanuel Macron. A 2023 swing to the right in New Zealand and a similar swing in the U.S. state of Louisiana gave the Burton Coalition new life and hope, because of this, and Albanese's unpopularity, the Burton Coalition begin to work to win gains in Oceania. On November 6, 2023, Burton converted the Unfortunate Sons & Daughters of Chawosauria into the Burton Coalition to win over anti-war activists.

Forecasters, polls, and commentators begin to express increasing doubt that the Chawosaurian Communist Party will win reelection, which would mark the third time after the 2015 Chawosaurian legislative elections that a first time incumbent parliament has lost a reelection bid. First term parliamentary governments losing reelection back to back has never happened before in Chawosaurian history and that has been attributed to a loss of public faith in government amongst the Chawosaurian public that has been brought by the Chawosaurian Revolution (2009-2019) and the Chawo-Uralic War (2021-), as well as a decaying and aging of the Cold War Coalition. Leadership performances as far as concerned, leaders keep taking office and leaving office on both the Communist and Social Democratic sides, which partly attributed to the two socialist parties' struggles in the polls thanks to inconsistent leadership, but Prime Minister MacAlasdair is a likeable leader for his experience and service, but his age has become a problem as he often got lost in speeches, but his American southern accent often disappointed crowds that they lose their morale to vote, thus further weakening the Communist Party's electoral prospects, and as a result, the Communists told MacAlasdair that his accent is a liability for Communist candidates and that he needed to lay low on public appearances to avoid embarrassing Communist candidates right in front of voters; on the Social Democrats' part, the party has had its moments of disarray: their poor handling of Joe Walz' suicide in 2021, a Prime Minister severely scrutinized for his Irish ancestry that he quit, the Scott D. Ferguson ordeal, the 2023 Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party leadership election, and Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII; but the party also had a moment of success thanks to the stewardship of Sydney Lucas Webster, where Webster kept the party stable from 2020 to 2023, and worked with the Communist Party that resulted in the creation of the Socialist Coalition in 2022, plus, Webster saw his native party, the U.S. Democratic Party, riding to two successful key election cycles, avoiding a Republican "red wave" in 2022, and smashing Republicans and their conservative allies in 2023, but Webster stepped down after his mother passed away in 2023, thus throwing the Social Democrats into a dilemma. Late 2023 to early 2024 marked a big turnaround for the Communist Party's electoral prospects.

The parliamentary leaders' debates appeared to have led to the collapse of third parties in Chawosauria due to the poor performances of their leaders, including Wendell Rawlings Burton's very poor performance in the third debate, which completely ended the speculation of a historic conservative wave in this election, and from December 2023 to March 2024, the Communist Party and the Social Democrats became the two key players as the other parties fall in popularity. But due to Burton's collapse, the Burton Coalition decided to decentralize their campaign and allow their candidates to run locally, they spend the very last three months of the campaign before the first round, railing against AIs, rap music, fashion trends, social media, echo chambers, wokeism, Zionism, cancel culture, political correctness, and several other things Cold War Chawosaurians hated while the Socialist Coalition struggled to find votes from Post-Cold War Chawosaurians due to many of them dying in the Chawo-Uralic War. The Socialist Coalition begin to openly question whether the Burton Coalition can keep themselves together like the DKA Coalition failed to do. Shang Jong Parker announced on December 31, 2023 that he is changing course on the Chawo-Uralic War, hoping to boost the Communist Party's electoral prospects in the 2024 election. The Communists saw a surge in their popularity, alot of this is attributed to the fact that Chawosaurians have a surprisingly good judgement of the year 2023 for the first time since 2019 and Chawosaurians are starting to feel a sense of a returned to normalcy for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. There came a popularity rise of the historic legislative accomplishments and programs that the Communists have passed into law, the quicker-than-expected resolution of the Anastasia Crisis, Israel's deepening unpopularity in Chawosauria in the midst of the Israel-Hamas war, a new direction for the Chawo-Uralic War which saw fewer conscriptions, fewer prominent battles, and a new commitment to peace; and on top of that, Wendell Burton's collapse in the parliamentary debates and the Chawosaurian distaste for conservatism due to what is going on in the U.S. at this period. Cracks in the Burton Coalition begin to become noticeable publicly as they begin to wonder if they could keep their coalition together as well, and there were increased public doubt and open signs that the Burton Coalition may not be realistically unified enough to govern Chawosauria, plus, the anti-communists had the disadvantage of time, where Communists regained popularity and recaptured support and the public rallied around their policies right on time before the election. The Burton Coalition established unity on the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the first of two final months of the campaign: the Burton Coalition condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza and Wendell Burton approved the platform resolution, and Burtonites begin to distance themselves from Israel.

## Background

A midterm election, these elections will be held in the middle of the communist Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker's first term and the Chawo-Uralic War. This is the first legislative election effected by the 2019 electoral reform package and 2020 amendments that drastically changed the election process. This election is expected to be held in the middle of, or following the COVID-19 pandemic. This Chawopolis Palace election solely holds the ultimate key to decide rather Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker will have his remaining five-years as Supreme Leader with unchecked political power before he would be able to run for a second term in the upcoming 2029 Chawosaurian direct election. This is also the first Chawopolis Palace election in Chawosaurian history to be held in the same year of an American presidential election, this Chawopolis Palace election will be held a month before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This will also be the first Chawopolis Palace election in Chawosaurian history held during a presidential election in Russia, it will be held in the same year of the 2024 Russian presidential election. This is the first Chawopolis Palace election held after the end of the War in Afghanistan and the first election since the Chawopolis Palace elections of 1999 that were not held during the War in Afghanistan. Alongside the 2017 Chawosaurian legislative elections, this is the second of two snap elections held in Chawosauria. It will be the first election since the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections that a party was not led by the Boleslaus family or any political family and the first election in Chawosaurian history that a former parliamentary party leader has returned to lead a party compete in a Chawosaurian legislative election series. Sydney Lucas Webster was the longest competing parliamentary leader as parties kept changing parliamentary leaders or new parties have arrived in 2022, Webster served from 2020 to 2023, but he quit because he was struck by grief over his mother's death. Due to a small minority caucus and very limited successor options, Webster was forced to choose the controversial Scott D. Ferguson as his successor, Ferguson gained prominence in Chawosauria for controversially joking about raping his 8-year-old niece, which spurred universal backlash even from his very own party that when Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII was elected in a special election to replace his late great-aunt, the party replaced Ferguson with Montgomery. Had Ferguson stayed, the election would've been the first election since 1925 that major contenders in a Chawopolis Palace election are Scottish or of Scottish descent. Vowing political revenge against the SDWLP, Scott D. Ferguson founded the Social Democratic Party of Chawosauria to spoil the election for the SDWLP.

The Chawosaurian Communist Party led by former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker easily cruised to a smashing victory in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections to have total control of the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government, but the Communist Party Administration of Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker had not been going well for the Chawosaurian Communist Party, the Communist Party administration of Shang Jong Parker came to power on January 1, 2020 and they were marked by the COVID-19 pandemic; the Parker administration also inherited from the Capitalist administration of Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a, the Presidency of Donald Trump in the United States which was going through impeachment proceedings and was up for reelection. For the Chawosaurian Communist Party, Shang Jong Parker's administration has not been going very well; in a personally stinging blow to a man who is a native from China, Parker suffered an early-term curse when a viral novel disease named COVID-19 emerged from the Chinese city of Wuhan and quickly became a global pandemic in less than a year, allowing room for the racial stigmatization towards Chinese people and other Asian peoples, but Parker managed to dodge the racial blowback with his War on Coronavirus campaign. In 2021, Parker escalated the Chawo-Uralic Conflict over the newly deployed Ural Wall between the Federal Republic of Europe and the Federal Republic of Asia with his instigation of the Chawo-Uralic War, but his escalation backfired and Chawosauria becomes trapped in "a Vietnam War situation" and following the Urali capture of the Ural Wall in December 2021, Chawosauria was forced into a long and unwinnable war of attrition. In 2022, the Communists formed an unpopular Socialist Coalition between them and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, Parker stumbled on the crises in Kazakhstan and Canada, and the Russia's invasion of Ukraine caught Chawosauria completely off guard, resulting in a scramble to evacuate Chawosaurian Ukrainians out of Ukraine and relocate them to other nations despite an already escalating number of Chawosaurian Ukrainians getting lost in the process and Chawosaurian Ukrainian resistance to Shang Jong Parker's efforts and Parker himself and Parker suffered coup attempts even by within his own party. In the midst of a stagnant Chawosaurian economy, the Communist Party under Parker's orders have outright ignored and blatantly downplayed the early 2020s inflation surge by comparing inflation to the flu, calling it as just "an economic flu", and that there was no need for government action which speaking of government action, the Chawosaurian government passed a law barring the media from covering the inflation surge. From 2021 to 2023, the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government did accomplished their 2019 campaign promises to establish Green New Deal programs in Chawosauria to address climate change and made reality the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria to massively democratize the entire political regime of the Empire of Chawosauria after over a century of weak democracy and subsequent dictatorship, especially during the Cold War. The course of the campaign kicked off in 2023 and Chawosaurians begin to complain about the unprecedented legislative overreach of the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government, a surge of infighting between factions of the Chawosaurian Communist Party, the Chawo-Uralic War, the world becoming interested in space colonization, inflation, greater attention to the Russian war in Ukraine, and lack of attention to local issues, especially in the rural areas of Chawosauria.

Throughout the Parker years, Chawosaurians have been growing really tired of automation, technological unemployment, the increasing dominance of computer technology and social media, the perceived decreasing moral quality of pop culture, the Chawo-Uralic War, right-wing extremism, cancel culture, genderism, and the rising prospects of human exploration and colonialism in space. These sentiments among Chawosaurians are collectively called 21st century fatigue and it became important political issues in Chawosauria especially during the 2024 midterm elections, and these issues have attributed to Shang Jong Parker's weakening popularity with the Chawosaurian people and threatening the Chawosaurian Communist Party's midterm prospects. However, what could still benefit the Chawosaurian Communist Party is that Chawosaurians, at the time of the 2024 midterm elections, are still mentally traumatized by the COVID-19 pandemic and how close Chawosauria came to having a COVID-19 pandemic of their own. Chawosaurians universally credit Shang Jong Parker for his successful baying of the virus from Chawosaurian shores with the 2020-2023 lockdown.

## Process

There are 1,000 seats total in the Chawopolis Palace, 501 seats required for a majority, 600 for a supermajority. 900 out of 1,000 seats in the Chawopolis Palace are members of the Parliament with three chambers with 300 seats, 401 for a majority of Parliament, 500 for a supermajority, the three sub-houses of the Parliament are the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the House of Representatives. 100 out of 1,000 members of the Chawopolis Palace are members of the Senate, but unlike Parliament, the Senate has no sub-houses, 51 seats needed for a majority, 60 seats for a supermajority. Every member of the Parliament are up for election, a selected few seats with Senior representatives who previously held that seat or presently holding the seat are up only a decade. Legislative elections for the Palace are held every five years.

In a multi-party Palace, a coalition is optional but necessary for legislative purposes.

The election system concerning the prime ministership has changed. Before 2020, the prime minister is unilaterally nominated by the monarch and approved by the Chawopolis Palace without being elected by the people or by the most seats. However, in 2020, new changes arrived that states the leader of a party will be prime minister if that party wins the popular vote regardless if that prime minister's party wins or loses the most seats. In normal parliamentary democracies such as Canada, the U.K., Australia, Italy, Sweden, and Israel, etc, the leader of a party that wins the most seats becomes prime minister though that winning party loses the popular vote, for example, in the 2019 Canadian federal election, incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a multi-party election, kept his Liberal Party at first place though losing its majority and losing the popular vote to the losing Conservative Party led by Andrew Scheer, who failed to reach first-place.

The Premiership (Reforms - Bill 1) Act of 2020 created the Chawosaurian Parliamentary Model (CPM) where a party winning the most seats (majority or minority government) still gets to be the governing party, but the prime minister, rather leader of the winning party or the losing party, can still get elected if that prime minister wins the popular vote even despite that prime minister's party fails to win the most seats. This is a way to establish checks and balance between the prime minister and whoever's the governing party. If a party wins the most seats and its leader wins the popular vote, thus getting elected prime minister, it is called a popular mandate (a governing party with both the most seats and the prime ministership). However, also in the Chawosaurian Parliamentary Model, it is also clever that checks and balance on the popular mandated party is needed, so a multi-party parliament where a party that has both the most seats, the prime ministership, but in a minority government, will prevent one-party tyranny.

50.1% is needed to win the popular vote. If a party leader "leads" in the popular vote instead of winning it, then the Supreme Leader will approve a prime minister if the party leader whose party wins the most seats can form a parliament.

## Campaign and Issues

Because the Communist Party holds both the Monarchy and the Chawopolis Palace since January 1, 2020, this makes 2024 an extremely unfavorable year for Shang Parker's anti-communist opponents. The only non-communist party, the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, need to add 394 seats to their total 107 seats to win 501 seats, 493 seats if they want to win a supermajority.

### COVID-19 Pandemic and the Communist Party of China

The 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic has shifted the aims of the elections and threatened to scrutinize the Communist Party and its brand. The Communist Party, after supporting China in the previous election in 2019, has now turned on China over the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Communist Party joined Shang Jong Parker to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak in Chawosauria and supported Parker's War on Coronavirus initiatives. The Parker administration became un-nerved by the spread of COVID-19 as they promised, well previously, not to do a lockdown, only to be forced to break that promise and it resulted in Parker having to declare a national emergency, martial law, and the general mobilization of the entire Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces to enforce the 2020-2023 Chawosauria Lockdown which began in March 2020 after being ordered by the entire 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government, which such protocols were reserved for a potential nuclear holocaust or a zombie apocalypse.

China suffered a decline in global perception for their handling of the COVID-19 prelude, attempting to cover it up and pretend there's nothing to be concerned about, only to be proven horribly wrong as the disease becomes able to escape from China and began infecting other countries in a matter of less than five months. By March 2020, it was widely clear that a pandemic has begun and it will be a brutal one. China and its people more unfairly than the country itself has became the oblivious scapegoat for the pandemic, crippling diplomatic relations and discrimination and violence against Chinese ethnics spread with no fault of their own and equally vulnerable to infection.

### State of the Anti-Communists

The Capitalists' standing was damaged by the Impeachment of Prime Minister Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III over allegations that due to his Irish bloodline, he is a Catholic while serving in public office, which it's taboo in Chawosauria due to fears of religious wars seen in the Crusades and culture wars seen in the Western world. The lack of unity among the Capitalist opposition on MacCarthy's impeachment gave the Communist Party enough to impeach him and pressure him to either resign or face conviction in the Senate which would mean forced removal from office. Chawosaurian civilians got angry at anti-impeachment politicians calling for a recall election rather than impeachment proceedings. An unpopular position (84% of the public opposed a recall election), this position made the politicians who called for a recall election vulnerable of losing their seats. Social Democratic leadership refused to have an official position on a recall election due to its massive unpopularity.

Following the Capitalists' loss in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, there is a fight on rather the Capitalists should go to the center to keep liberals, moderates, and conservatives on the same bandwagon, or go far to the left to try to attract some socialist voters who are already shifting to the Communist Party in support for Shang Parker. The Capitalists are trying to juggle both balls by shifting to the right with Charles Muskie in the 2020 Chawosaurian Opposition leadership election while letting the only capitalist party in legislature: the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, to shift more to the left as they see fit. Unfortunately, according to many political pundits and experts, that is a strategy bound to fail. Not having a consistent message is what always cost elections. In July 2020, once again, embarrassing chaos erupted in the anti-communist parties of Chawosauria over the vacancy of third party status following the collapse of the Chawosaurian Progressive Party, and the race to replace the Progressives as third party. Talks of a third party selection will began by August 2020, and it is unknown when the party selection will take place. This is the first time in Chawosauria that a party participating in a legislative election dissolved and had to be replaced before that legislative election even started or occurred. On September 15, 2020, it was decided that the Grassroots Democratic People's Green Party of Chawosauria, the Chawosaurian Liberal Democrats, and other parties cannot participate because they did not get 1,000,000 votes due to either sharing an election result with another party (Grassroots Democratic People's Green Party) or never visited (Chawosaurian Liberal Democrats). Jezebel Isela Boleslaus, Sydney Lucas Webster, and Charles Muskie are the only three qualified Prime Ministerial candidates.

### Chawosaurian interest in U.S. Politics

> *Main article; Chawosauria in the 2020 United States Presidential Election*

Donald Trump lost reelection in the 2020 presidential election in the United States, sparking wide relief among the capitalist opposition to Shang Parker, the capitalists now have the space they needed to run American candidates for the Palace, even give them funding. Trump's electoral downfall was a victory for Chawosaurian American candidates and Chawopolis Palace incumbents from the United States who were worried about not getting funds and endorsements from their respective parties due to discomfort among these parties about supporting Chawosaurian candidates running in Chawosaurian electoral districts located in the United States, a nation being represented by a President seen by many around the world as an idiot, a bigot, and a tyrant.

The 2020 U.S. presidential election made two parties decide against participating in this legislative election cycle, the Popular Democratic People's National Party feared that their past support for Donald Trump will haunt them after the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol, in the similar fashion George Windsor was haunted by his past support for Tony Blair, the U.K. Prime Minister, whose popularity declined due to his role in the Iraq War, and Blair was still Prime Minister during the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections, costing George Windsor 67 seats to Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII. Also impacted by the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the Grassroots Democratic People's Green Party of Chawosauria withdrew from the election because of the fear of potential association with the Green Party of the United States after the U.S. Green Party kicked out the Green Party of Alaska for refusing to recognize the party's 2020 Green presidential ticket. This makes the U.S. Green Party look like a cult in the eyes of Chawosaurian voters. But the situation with the U.S. Green Party is less intense than the civil war in the U.S. Republican Party, on May 12, 2021, Republicans in the United States House of Representatives, which its under slim Democratic control, oust third top Republican leader, Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney under U.S. President George W. Bush (a) back in the 2000s. Liz Cheney was removed from leadership role because she proclaimed that the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was not rigged, thus declaring U.S. President Joe Biden (a) as America's legitimate commander in chief rightfully elected by the American people, and that caused such an uproar within the Republican Party that they flat out removed her, only to infuriate their moderate wing into threatening to form a third party to give those moderate Republicans a choice rather than reluctantly voting for Democrats.

Chawosaurian conservatives were deeply discouraged by the situation with American conservatism, resorting in some Chawo-conservatives to shift slightly to the left, or others just not caring much about politics at all. Progressive conservatives and green conservatives begin fighting within the Popular Democratic People's National Party or wanting to either form their own party or gain influence over the incredibly socialist-leaning but slightly anti-communist Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party. Some look to the Chawosaurian Liberal Democrats and given the widely non-religious culture of Chawosauria, no conservative in Chawosauria is looking up to the Christian Democratic People's Republican Party. In 2021, the Parker administration and the Chawosaurian government escalated the Chawo-Uralic War, in a time when it seemed as if the world is ready to move beyond COVID-19 thanks to vaccines. What started the Chawo-Uralic War was the Treaty of Bucharest's establishment of the Ural Wall, an intercontinental border between the Federal Republic of Europe from the westside and the Federal Republic of Asia from the eastside of the border, the Ural Wall is not an actual wall but just a separation barrier; however, Uralic Chawosaurians living in the Ural Mountains which has become part of the Ural Wall felt the socio-economic burden of the Ural Wall, beginning the Uralic Insurgency and the Chawo-Uralic Conflict between the Chawosaurian government and the Uralic locals.

On May 24, 2022, Wendell Rawlings Burton takes over the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party, Burton's election chances of becoming Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria is really not great nor impressive; Chawosauria is a left-wing nation, over 90% of Chawosaurians in polling surveys from 1947 to 2021 identify themselves as left-wing, and under 10% of Chawosaurians don't identify is not left-wing. Wendell Burton's supporters fear being linked to U.S. President Donald Trump due to his controversial presidency and the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and during the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, then incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a made a failed attempt to distance himself from Trump, but he was interfered with his American citizenship, Chawosaurians have dual-citizenships, and Supreme Leader Kalawai'a lost to Shang Jong Parker in a landslide. How should Burton handle the issue of abortion amid the backdrop of the fate of *Roe v. Wade* in the United States, Burton's supporters are sharply divided on how he should handle the issue, pro-lifers urged Burton to take an anti-abortion stance given that he is a Republican and abortion is taboo in Chawosauria, but some suggested neutrality because the overturning of abortion rights in America still doesn't look good for the Chawosaurian right and exploiting the issue for electoral gain is showing signs of backfiring, abortion is a taboo subject in Chawosauria that even making a political issue out of abortion won't be tolerated in Chawosauria. Burton suggested that since abortion is legal in Chawosauria despite being overwhelmingly unpopular, Chawosauria's socialist political higherups should be challenged into passing laws restricting abortion while maintaining neutrality on the issue during the 2024 election campaign.

The fall of Roe has also threatened the rights of Americans beyond abortion, such as the right to any adult to marry any adult of their choosing, the right to birth control, and the right to a secular government that respects all religions. This began to worry anti-communists recently due to post-traumatic stress memories of the 2005 and 2015 Chawosaurian legislative elections, when the influence of the U.S. religious right and their hostility towards the LGBT community turned off Chawosaurian voters into giving the Communist Party sweeping landslide victories. The American right-wing thinktank The Heritage Foundation's leader Kevin Roberts has declared that the organization's main goal is to overturn *Obergefell v. Hodges* next and annul the marriages of same-sex couples. That spooked anti-communists and they had private closed door meetings, they expressed deep concern that if Obergefell is overturned and Chawosaurians hear about this, then Chawosaurians will see this as the return of Christian America and Chawosaurians will rally around the Chawosaurian Communist Party, thus making 2024 another 2005 and 2015. Anti-communists have made efforts to bury the comments of Kevin Roberts from the Chawosaurian public, they even attempt to make deals with the Chawosaurian media to not report The Heritage Foundation's plans for same-sex marriage, knowing full well that Chawosaurian public knowledge of this will cause a rally 'round the flag affect for the Chawosaurian Communist Party in the 2024 midterms.

In the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, the U.S. Democratic Party had secured a strong showing in the elections for a party that controls the White House, throughout U.S. political history, midterm elections are unfriendly turf for the President. Democratic overperformance was aided by youth turnout due to anger over the fall of Roe, and it made it easy for the Democrats to lock down their already control of the U.S. Senate and limited their collapse in the U.S. House of Representatives, forcing Republicans to grapple with the reality of a narrow and pyrrhic victory instead of a landslide one in the U.S. House. Making things worse for Republicans, the Democrats gained in their hand in state governments, crucially Secretaries of State, state offices that preside over elections particularly for President, Democrats won them all and the Governor of Pennsylvania that appoints the Secretary of State, leaving the crucial Great Lakes states secured for Democrats for 2024.

### The Ural Wall and the Chawo-Uralic War

> *Main articles: Ural Wall and the Chawo-Uralic War*
>

The Ural Wall is a continental border that separates two of Chawosauria's six Continental Federal Republics, two of which being the Federal Republic of Europe and the Federal Republic of Asia, as part of the overall borders of the Union of Continental Federal Republics. Though not an actual border wall, it is a mountainous hard border located mainly on the Eurasian mountain range called the Ural Mountains, giving the Ural Wall its name, though the border also stretches below the Ural Mountains to the south, partially separating Russia from Kazakhstan; the Caucasus from Turkmenistan, Iran, and Turkey; and then Turkey from Greece, making it the longest border in the world if the Ural Wall exists in the Outer World. On June 23, 2019, following the successful conclusion of the Chawosaurian Civil War which ended the Chawosaurian Revolution, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, through the signing of the Treaty of Bucharest, unwittingly established a hard border on Chawosaurian settlements on the Ural Mountains to define the boundary between the Federal Republic of Europe and the Federal Republic of Asia. The Chawosaurian Imperial Government does not track its population, and this new border was so hard that it made it extremely difficult for Chawosaurian communities in the Ural Mountains to live their everyday lives and the border greatly disrupted their economies, resulting in anger which led to the Uralic Insurgency, which left the Chawosaurian government utterly confused that there are citizens living in the Ural Mountains but the government responded with military force anyway instead of diplomatically resolving the conflict, Military action has only made it worse and it led to the outbreak of the disastrous Chawo-Uralic War. For so many years, borders were advertised to Chawosaurians as a public safety necessity and the reputation of borders amongst Chawosaurians is forever damaged by the giant clusterfuck of a border situation in the Ural Mountains, it doesn't help the popularity of borders so much amongst Chawosaurians that the Ural Wall is dividing citizens... of the very same nation... rather than separating citizens from two different countries.

The Chawosaurian general public turned on borders and strong border politics as a result of the Ural Wall and the Chawo-Uralic War. After a temporary ceasefire of the war ordered by the Chawosaurian government so they can deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, the war was re-escalated to finish the Uralic insurgency and force citizens to move to Siberia to use their land as border property after discovering the against the border after discovering the Caspian-Urals Aid Network, but the government wanted to cover up the truth about why Chawosauria is really fighting the Chawo-Uralic War, so the Chawosaurian government came up with the narrative of the ISIL-Caspian Triangle, accusing the Uralic Insurgents and their Caspian suppliers of aiding and abetting with ISIS forces in the Caucasus to rally support for the war knowing the Chawosaurian public will not support the intension of the war and the Ural border itself would not be very popular. The 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government enacted the Caspian Sea Resolution to conscript and mobilize Chawosaurians into military service, however, these actions by the Chawosaurian government only cost Chawosauria further control of the conflict, creating an even messier war and effectively crippled Chawosaurian morale for the war effort and eventually strong border politics when it became clear to the Chawosaurian public that the Ural Wall is the source of the quickly unraveling Chawo-Uralic War. Starting in 2022, Chawosaurians begin to question the purpose of border security and borders generally more than they question the Chawo-Uralic War.

Realizing that the Chawo-Uralic War has failed and the elections are fastly approaching, Parker realized that he needed to act quick to gain control of the war, and decided that he cannot continue his current approach. Parker was told by his wife Kim Chae-Won that sending troops to war is not gonna win his party votes. Parker agreed to change course. On December 31, 2023, Parker announced big changes to the war.

### The possibility of a Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party wave

> *Main articles: Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party and Wendell Rawlings Burton*

Historically, conservatives are catastrophically weak amongst the Chawosaurian electorate since the infamous collapse of conservative party viability in Chawosaurian politics in the 1925 Chawosaurian legislative elections, which conservatives had yet to recover from. During the Cold War, the Chawosaurian electorate moved far to the left in favor of the Chawallian Communist Party due to the Soviet Union's role in finishing World War II in Europe, Chawosaurian hatred for the western world for the colonial age and its influence on Chawosaurian politics at the time, and the role of Christianity (a deeply unpopular religion in Chawosauria) in western world politics, and by 1980, Chawosauria would be a full socialist state as the last conservative party presence faded away after the end of the conservative premiership of Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII and his unsuccessful Coalition Party. The Cold War would go on to end following the crumbling of the communist world and the resultant collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, drastically shifting the global balance of power entirely to the western world.

In the 21st century, conservatism made a bad impression on Chawosaurians for its opposition to LGBT rights, their support for the War on Terror which Chawosaurians widely saw as typical western world colonialism, and the tumultuous Presidency of Donald Trump in the United States. The conservative movement in Chawosauria began to make an effort to distance themselves from the traditional conservative movement in the western world, putting distance on themselves from the Christian right, Christian democracy, Trumpism, right-wing populism, Israel, and in some cases, neoliberal and fiscal conservative elements, to instead build a "Chawosauria-based conservatism" based on Chawosaurian cultural values while at the same time ignoring or allow different ideas on how the economy should be managed in Chawosauria, and they have embraced the LGBT community, secular government, labor unions, certain aspects of socialism, Chawosaurian Agrarianism, Chawosauria's pagan past, and strongly denounced Christianity, Judaism, and all religions in general.

The Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party was established in December 2021 to attract anti-socialists who strayed away following the collapse of the anti-communist 24th Chawopolis Palace in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections to the Chawosaurian Communist Party and the resultant survival of the sole anti-communist but moderately socialist Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, who most folded in favor of the Communist Party's agenda throughout the entire 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government. Wendell Rawlings Burton became leader of the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party on May 24, 2022, but his presence at first caused concern, Burton is a member of the U.S. Republican Party, but he didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016 nor 2020, and Burton is a moderate conservative who accepts the party's strategy for a Chawosaurianized conservatism.

### The fallout of Queen Elizabeth II's death and a subsequent King and Queen of Britain

Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, who had reigned Britain since 1952 at the time the British Empire had remained, passed away after her 70-year service on the throne. This will result in her eldest son, Charles III, and his second wife, Camilla, will be the King regent and the Queen consort of the United Kingdom.

Chawosauria had a complicated relationship with European monarchies, particularly those in Western Europe, nations with access to the Atlantic Ocean as well as being the ones with the advanced technology, giving them the ability to colonize the new world that was accidentally discovered by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492, but European colonialism had took a dark turn when European settlers encounter the western hemisphere's indigenous populations, with the prominent downfall of the Aztecs, which had since made the then Chawalliankalitan Empire to live in fear of being next. That eventually happened when the Chawo-Wolfsberg War broke out in 1861, when the Wolfsberg Empire and their British supporters invaded the Chawalliankalitans and ended the Chawalliankalitan civilization in the 1900s, resulting in the creation of the Empire of Chawosauria and their own Orbis but had to be influenced by British politics. The Wolfsberg Empire attempted to convert Chawosaurians to Christianity but Chawosaurians fiercely resisted often violently, but when the Revolutions of 1917-1923 occurred, Chawosaurians became attracted to socialism due to its anti-religious and anti-colonial appeal, and dramatically changed Chawosaurian politics forever in the landmark 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, where the Chawallian Communist Party led by Timothy Max Roosevelt won a landslide majority in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace. The 1945 elections permanently ended British political influence and it spelled the end of the Wolfsberg Empire's Christianization efforts on Chawosaurians, dooming the whole Christian mission. and when the socialists completed their takeover of Chawosauria by 1980, the last Christian missionaries were chased out of Chawosauria and British political influence was already gone, and this is the origin of present day socialist rule of Chawosauria. The Chawallian Communist Party favored the Soviet Union against the western world, which comprised of the veteran colonial powers of western Europe, which opposed communism.

### The so-called *"political danger"* of White American men as Parliamentary Leaders

Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII, Sydney Lucas Webster, and Wendell Rawlings Burton, are White Americans, all born in the United States, born during the era of racial segregation in the U.S., and the history of White Americans is marked by the brush of shame of racism, Native American genocide, the enslavement and disenfranchisement of Black Americans, and the subjugation of women in the U.S., and several other atrocities in the United States. An explanation of why the 2024 election is too uncertain to characterize as which party has an advantage. Non-white Chawosaurians have been the most supportive of the Chawosaurian left than White Chawosaurians are, but signs that they are less motivated to vote in the 2024 elections. To many Chawosaurians, White Americans are descendants of European colonialism, though the United States fought for its independence from colonial rule.

Prime Minister Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII has a strong, thick, southern accent, and he had publicly defended the Confederate flag before, back when he was Prime Minister during the 2000s when the Confederate flag was more popular in America compared to today as of the year 2022, when throughout the 2000s to 2022, the flag's reputation had steadily declined, leading to many southern states to remove their Confederate insignias, with Mississippi being the last of the entire southern region to do so due to the surprisingly multiracial backlash against the police killing of the Black American man, George Floyd, in 2020.

### Rise of Space Exploration in the 2020s

The 2020s is expected to be the decade where space exploration becomes a human reality, it was first successfully experimented during the Cold War, but Chawosaurians at the time tolerated it. Space exploration has taken a new turn in the early 2020s, with the launching of the Artemis program. Robotic and human astronauts would be taking on space missions and it was announced that space colonialism will be a reality in the 2020s. Space colonization has always been a widely to universal unpopular subject in the Chawosaurian world, and socialism is widely associated with scientific ambition, and that was appealing to Chawosaurians due to fear of religion which relationship with science is known to have been complicated. Chawosaurian anti-socialists have made the constant mistake of condoning religion, which had always alienated Chawosaurians to support socialism even more, so Chawosaurian socialists are weary of making the similar mistake with futuristic science, hoping to dodge backlash from Chawosaurians.

Chawosaurians dislike space colonization and robots because of strong fear and paranoia that they could overpower or corrupt the human race and bring economic inequality. Technology, when becomes robotic, does tent to put people out of work, and moving to space colonies will likely be crazily expensive, meaning only wealthy members of society can afford a home on a space colony and governments will be more attracted to investing into space colonies more than Planet Earth based on economic class lines. The Chawosaurian anti-socialist movement, partly united under the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party led by Wendell Rawlings Burton, see a realigning opportunity to take a stand against space colonization and robotization, which will surely attract working class Chawosaurians, the traditional base of Chawosaurian socialists. Chawosaurian farmers were warned that they will be overtaxed and overworked but underpaid in the future to aid the food supplies of the space exploration effort, and a movement to the right could be foreseen.

### The role of Chawosaurian millennials and zoomers

During the Chawosaurian Revolution, Chawosaurian millennials have deserted the Chawallian Communist Party in the 2009 Chawosaurian legislative elections and the 2017 Chawosaurian elections, however, the new Chawosaurian Communist Party gained significantly in the millennial vote due to Shang Jong Parker being a widely respected figure among millennials. But Parker has fallen out of favor among millennials over the Chawo-Uralic War because of military conscription ordered by the Caspian Sea Resolution and military deaths among millennials. Both the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party and the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party sought to appeal to millennials and zoomers who will be eligible for the draft under the Caspian Sea Resolution.

The Cold War Coalition only has older generations before millennials and zoomers, known collectively as Cold War Chawosaurians. But Cold War Chawosaurians are shifting conservative too due to their discontent with the 21st century as explained in the next heading just below. Cold War Chawosaurians have been becoming increasingly moralistic against 21st century culture on music and technology, while post-Cold War Chawosaurians are socially liberal on 21st century culture.

During the Chawo-Uralic War, the marriage rate skyrocketed dramatically among millennials so to avoid the draft. Under Chawosaurian law, marriage is a disqualification for mandatory military service. The decision to get married also bolstered the incomes of Chawosaurian millennials due to the benefits of marriage given by the Chawosaurian government, so many Chawosaurian millennials became able to buy a house, buy a car, and get a good job or career. This is partly why throughout 2023, the Chawosaurian Communist Party has regained its popularity and Shang Jong Parker's popularity being able to be competitive between popular and unpopular.

### Surging Backlash against the 21st Century

   More older Chawosaurians as well as working class Chawosaurians more generally began to show resentment and disgust with the trend of 21st century culture, Chawosaurians begin to show extremely weary of the trends of fashion, politics, music, technology, and so on and so forth. Chawosaurians feel fundamental displeasure with music trends, as it appears like hip hop is taking over everything and Chawosaurians from the older generations see hip hop as evolved as encouraging money and sex, and Chawosaurian women widely complain that the hip hop industry is spreading misogyny for the way women are displayed in hip hop videos and male rappers repeatedly calling women "shawty", making Chawosaurian women feel resentful towards the hip hop industry, and more older Chawosaurians from across the spectrum, many of whom may have somewhat accepted the musical art of hip hop, begin to complain the hip hop as showing off lifestyle and bragging about it and the women, and younger Chawosaurians begin to adapt, similarly to those from the western world.

Chawosaurians also begin to grow exhausted with fashion trends, not liking how people today dress, talk, dance, and so forth. As technology evolves throughout the century, this causes fear among working class Chawosaurians of what is called "technological unemployment" which is when a worker loses his/her job due to being replaced by technology that can do the work, which is more appealing to corporate higherups because organic workers require pay and robotic workers do not require pay, causing corporations to embrace automation because it makes them richer, but it badly disadvantages lower class people because thanks to automation and technological takeover of the employment sector, poverty will be a permanently generational thing. Because of this, working and employed Chawosaurians deeply fear technological unemployment and automation, making this a serious political issue in Chawosauria that Chawosaurian politicians, call of whom are left-wing, have usually ignored the issue.

Chawosaurians begin to show a surging unwelcoming to smart technology such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and their children more obsessive with their technology that it had have an impact on their academic performances, though smart technology have made things easier for teachers, but Chawosaurian parents and legal guardians have grown sick of their children having any access to technology.

Lil Mabu, a white rapper, which is not considered normal in American culture, has been one of the most successful White American rappers in the United States. But to Chawosaurians, Lil Mabu has become an irritant due to fears that he could influence young Chawosaurians. Drill music's spreading in Chawosauria has caused a major generational conflict between older Cold War Chawosaurians and Post-Cold War Chawosaurians, the Burton Coalition begins to tap into the concerns of Cold War Chawosaurians, and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party has been courting Post-Cold War Chawosaurians, but the party's support for the Caspian Sea Resolution made many Post-Cold War Chawosaurians move to the Grassroots Democratic People's Green Party of Chawosauria.

   Then finally, another fear regarding technology, technology becoming intelligent and turning on humanity. That fear had been ticking up since the last decade of the 20th century but became only a little noticeable in the 2000s, mostly due to movies and TV shows containing robots such as *Robots* (2005), *Skyland* (series: 2005-2007), *My Life as a Teenage Robot* (series: 2003-2005), and then the movie *I, Robot* (2004), where humanoid robots were created to serve humans, but then they turned on humans and tried to take over the world. All of these movies and TV shows, especially I, Robot, escalated Chawosaurian anxieties of smart or intelligent technology.

When the first smartphones arrived in the late 2000s, Chawosaurians were cautiously welcoming, but many were still not amused with their presence. The popularity of smartphones spread like a virus all over the world, but so has anti-technology sentiment all over Chawosauria, then tablets became a thing, also spreading in popularity but maybe not as much as phones, and smart technology evolved to greater advancement throughout the 2010s, making Chawosaurians incredibly weary of their presence. The internet took over every aspect of technology even those that previously didn't need WIFI, such as TVs as they now became smart TVs.

These Chawosaurian sentiments have attributed to the shock results of the 2018 Age of Smartphone Referendum, ultimately making these issues serious.

Wendell Rawlings Burton and the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party have planned to take advantage of these issues, they begin to criticize hip hop and pointed out that the Chawosaurian Communist Party abandoned the Social Morality Act of 2020, which sought to ban hip hop nationwide. Burton by 2023 began to make a priority to stop corporations from turning into automation, and made an ambitious promise to penalize corporations for putting workers out of work by replacing them with free labor by technology and robots. The Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party begin to become the only party taking technological unemployment seriously. However, General Secretary Linghu Xiaoliang had been fighting with Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker over the direction of the Chawosaurian Communist Party, Linghu had been promoting communist candidates who hold conservative views against Parker's liberal reforms and many of Linghu's candidates hold anti-modernist views while holding anti-religious views, making some Burton allies nervous. Linghu Communists as they are called, or Linghists, are members of the Chawosaurian Communist Party who are traditional communists, opposition to religion, as well as opposition to modernization, and they are agrarians. Linghu Communists are lining up to challenge Parkerian Communists (communists who are progressive) in the 2023 Chawosaurian Communist Party primaries.

### The Rise of Linghu Communists

> *Main article: Chess for the Throne, Linghu Xiaoliang, 2023 Chawosaurian Communist Party primaries, Linghism, and Linghu Communists*
>
>

    Linghu Xiaoliang, incumbent General Secretary of the Empire of Chawosauria and former Imperial Senator from the Senate District of East Asia, felt alienated by his old friend and Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker's progressive approach to his communist rule. Parker enhanced a semi direct democracy and strong human rights into the Imperial Constitution of the Empire of Chawosauria in 2022 and 2023. Linghu's version of communism is old school, authoritarianism and only few human rights. Parker was diagnosed with stomach cancer in December 2022 and he received medical attention in early 2023.

### Other Events

The Independents nominated Elmo as their parliamentary leader to draw a line between independence and going by the rules. The Independents justified this joke candidate by saying all parliamentary leaders are jokes and used the nominee of the Youth International Party, known as yippies, of the 1968 U.S. presidential election was a pig named Pigasus to symbolize both Nixon and Humphrey as pro-war pigs during the War in Vietnam. However, this was universally mocked and cast a bad light on the anti-communists. There was division in interpretation of the 2022 French legislative elections, since Chawosaurian politics is becoming more like France's, however unlike Chawosauria, France's legislative elections are inconsistent.

### The Anthony Rota - Yaroslav Hunka Debacle

In September 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is locked in a struggling war to preserve Ukraine's independence from Russia following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, fortunately for Zelenskyy, he had been successful at holding the line and keeping a significant majority of Ukraine's land intact, but he required more support from the west.

First, he stopped at the United States for American help, only to find a U.S. Congress deeply locked in a grinding struggle to agree upon itself to fund the United States federal government or plummet into an economically painful government shutdown, with a Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives not seemingly interested in supporting Ukraine unlike its Democratic-led U.S. House predecessor. Despite this, Kyiv may still receive U.S. aid and support regardless.

Zelenskyy's next stop is to America's northern neighbor, Canada, where unlike Washington, Ottawa is less busy and less chaotic. Zelenskyy was allowed to give an address to the House of Commons in order to rally Canadians around Ukraine, however, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, would fall into a global blunder, one of his constituents, Yaroslav Hunka, a WWII veteran from Ukraine, was invited by the Speaker to the House of Commons' galleries to receive a tribute. When Speaker Rota recognized Hunka, the House of Commons, including Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, stood and applauded Hunka.

On September 25, 2023, news broke that Hunka was aligned with the Nazis during Ukraine's war during the Nazi invasion of the USSR, Hunka was part of the *Waffen-SS*, responsible, in which he took part in, the killings of Poles, Jews, and even any Ukrainian who the Nazis perceived as unworthy of existence in the eyes of the Nazi worldview. This caused international news, it enabled Russia to capitalize on this international embarrassment that Canada suffered, resurrecting their old justification of the invasion of Ukraine as a war on Nazism in Ukraine.

The Liberal Party of Canada, who had been running Canada since the party's landslide victory in 2015 and are already starring at the barrel of a tough reelection due to inflation and housing affordability problems in Canada, were attacked for this debacle, in fact it doesn't help that the Speaker of the House of Commons is a Liberal himself. Speaker Rota ultimately resigned as Speaker and is awaiting his successor, but whether in disgrace is actually being debated. The Trudeau administration faced criticism for hosting Zelenskyy at the same time and place Hunka was there at the House of Commons to be honored even by Zelenskyy, leading to criticism that Trudeau humiliated Zelenskyy.

The political fallout has spilled into Chawosaurian politics as well, Nazism and far-right politics are top and serious taboos in the Chawosaurian world, and a western nation like Canada honoring a Nazi would go on to undo the progress of Wendell Rawlings Burton, who is supportive of western interests, while the Chawosaurian Communist Party are seen still as a stark alternative to Nazism despite their enactment of western left-wing policies modeling those of social democratic countries in Europe.

## Burton Coalition Mistakes

In the following months of the campaign to win the Chawopolis Palace, the Burton Coalition, who are thought to be the next revolutionary generation of insurgents after Timothy Max Roosevelt's Chawallian Communist Party in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Burton Coalition was cursed with notable mistakes.

### Poilievre Definition of "Woke" Backfire

The conservative faction of the Burton Coalition sought to weaponize wokeism against the Socialist Coalition, however, they struggled to define the term, and those who have ideas of what woke means, they feared defining it will actually make Chawosaurians become sympathetic to the woke movement.

In the Canadian House of Commons, MP Jenica Atwin asked Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre to define the term, Poilievre defined the term as "control" to divide Canadians based on their race, ethnicity, religion, and vaccine status in order to control Canadians. This was noticed by the Conservative Party of Chawosauria who decided to use the Poilievre definition of woke and instructed the Burton Coalition to use it to attack woke.

On the campaign trail, Burton Coalition candidates used the same line about woke, calling it "control" to divide Chawosaurians based on race, ethnicity, sex, and nationality. However, this begin to backfire badly on conservatives as Chawosaurians saw this as hypocritical and projectory. Much of the Chawosaurian public called out conservative candidates for their perceived hypocrisy on race-mongering because conservative movements, especially that in the United States, are known to race-monger to gain political control. It also made conservatives out to be proponents of woke in the literal process of these same conservative candidates attacking woke culture.

This cost the Burton Coalition support amongst suburban Chawosaurian voters and left rural Chawosaurian voters confused.

### Dorothy Wallace Burton: *"Time to cut government spending and beef up military spending!"*

At a campaign rally for the Burton Coalition on October 23, 2023, in Voss, Dorothy, promoting a conservative candidate, electrified the crowd with her presence and promotion of the candidate, but then confused the crowd a little bit with her suggestion to cut government spending while still beefing up defense spending, saying precisely: "He [the conservative candidate she's promoting] understands that government spending is too damn out of control and that he knows that it's time to cut government spending and beef up military spending!" and the crowd was left confused and dumbfounded, the reason being was because defense spending is part of government spending, militaries around the world are funded by governments through taxes, because of this fact, Dorothy's suggestion to cut government spending but increase military spending came across as contradictory and mind-flustering in the eyes of both the media and the public in Chawosauria. Another reason Dorothy faced backlash was because she called for "beefing up defense spending" when Chawosauria was already fighting the Chawo-Uralic War since 2021, costing her husband political support amongst the Chawosaurian anti-war movement.

The speech was recorded by news crews and clips of Dorothy Burton saying it was time to "cut government spending and beef up military spending" was seen by billions of Chawosaurians across Chawosauria from television to social media, and the quote by Dorothy about spending was universally mocked as contradictory, uneducated, unaware, and dumbfounding.

Within days after this, Dorothy Burton received widespread mockery by the public. Wendell Burton ordered Dorothy to withdrawal from the campaign, and the Burton Coalition had to defend and excuse the remarks, the Conservative Party of Chawosauria got more defensive, saying "government spending must be cut" but fall short of suggesting would that mean the military be cut of its government funds, the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party stated that Dorothy's statements were "misguided" and that she "had her facts wrong" and the Chawosaurian media begin to compare Dorothy Burton to Sarah Palin, when she undermined John McCain's electability in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

On October 28, 2023 in a face time interview with EOCBC News, Wendell Burton attempted to defend his wife's gaffe, suggesting that she was talking about Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker's unprecedented expansion of bureaucracy during the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government, and how it expanded taxes on Chawosaurians, partly contributing to the Parkerian Stagnation, however, Wendell struggled to defend Dorothy's call to beef up defense spending, Wendell was forced to criticize his own wife's defense spending policy, saying: "it was very misguided of her to call for such spending when government is already spending too much".

### Burton's Election-At-Home Woes

Burton's belonging of the U.S. Republican Party has been becoming a liability for him. Seeing the Republicans underperforming U.S. midterm election history and professional expectations in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections in exchange for historically bad results that year (losing seats in the U.S. Senate and state governments while just only narrowly flipping the U.S. House of Representatives) and getting severely thrashed in off-year elections the following year in 2023, have begun to embarrass Burton, politically. Burton had been expressing frustrations with the Republican Party, especially after the 2023 U.S. elections.

## Parliamentary Leaders Debates

Due to major constitutional reforms in 2023, all parliamentary leaders are now running for Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria by pitching to voters, this made Chawosaurian election directors to decide that political debates will have to be part of the Chawosaurian electoral system, though like much of the world, they are optional and not all candidates have to participate, but Jonathan Lachlan MacAlasdair VIII, Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, Wendell Rawlings Burton, and Scott D. Ferguson have applied to be qualified for the debates, and they all won their qualifications. The deadline is November 1, 2023.

### First Debate: Anchorage Townhall

The first debate, November 12, 2023 (originally on November 17, 2023), in Anchorage, moderated by Lorraine Dvořáková, a newswoman from EOCBC News, the parliamentary leaders who are participating are Prime Minister MacAlasdair and challengers Montgomery, Burton, and Ferguson.

The issues discussed in the first debate were the Chawo-Uralic War, Chawosauria's increasingly stagnant economy, Chawosauria's successful resolution to the Anastasia Crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, climate change, and the status of hip hop and smartphones in Chawosauria.

On the Chawo-Uralic War, all parliamentary leaders expressed opposition to the war, called for the repeal of the Caspian Sea Resolution, and suggested potentially impeaching Supreme Leader Parker for war crimes.

None of the parliamentary leaders had good answers for the Parkerian Stagnation, Wendell Burton rejected his own wife's suggestion that taxes should be low while defense spending be high due to the inconsistency and complications of implementation both policies at once because spending on the military requires taxpayer money, Wendell went on to criticize his own wife for not providing a coherent explanation of such an idea of cutting taxes and beefing up defense spending at the same time. MacAlasdair, Montgomery, Steinbeck, and Ferguson ganged up on Burton, saying Burton does want to cut taxes (for the rich) and beef up defense spending at the expense of the poor and working class, Burton responded with laughs and chuckles and pointed out the high taxes Chawosaurians were already paying to fund Supreme Leader Parker's newly established liberal programs, Prime Minister MacAlasdair defensed these programs, and so did Montgomery and Ferguson, saying these programs prevent economic inequality, with Burton scolding the other leaders, saying these programs increased prices and taxes on Chawosaurians. Burton rose dramatically in reaction polls during the debate, he gained support from Chawosaurian working class and suburban voters who have traditionally supported socialist parties and voted for Parker in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election. Burton begins to charm even further, saying there is still a way to pay for Parker's programs, which is cutting taxes on middle and working class people and raise them on super rich elites, which MacAlasdair said "we already did that" and Burton responded by pointing out the taxes lower class Chawosaurians paying new taxes as proof that this isn't the case.

Climate change became a discussion, with all parliamentary leaders unanimously agree that climate change is a problem brought upon the planet by human activity. A green partisan, Steinbeck attempted to lead the issue of climate change and environmental issues, but this backfired due to the deep unpopularity of the Chawosaurian Green New Deal programs because of the taxes they require, reaction polls showed Steinbeck holding a favorability rating as low as 8%, Burton made an effort to promote nuclear energy, which actually backfired because it scared Chawosaurian voters because of dark memories of Chernobyl and Fukushima. MacAlasdair and Montgomery defended the Green New Deal programs and touted the jobs it created, Burton pointed to agricultural problems in Chawosauria because of the climate crisis as evidence that the Green New Deal is a failed experiment.

Parliamentary leaders were split on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Prime Minister MacAlasdair and Montgomery took Ukraine's side, Steinbeck took Russia's side which was a bad idea because Russia's popularity in Chawosauria cratered due to the invasion, and Burton displayed neutrality and said "the war must end" and Ferguson displayed apathy for the war in general.

Montgomery was leading fairly favorably in reaction polls throughout the debate, only to squander it when the issues of the status of hip-hop music and smartphones in Chawosauria were brought up. Chawosaurians are strongly socially conservative against hip-hop and are extremely reactionary against 21st-century technology such as smartphones, Montgomery opposes laws banning music genres and says smartphones has "alot of offer", this angered alot of Chawosaurian voters of all stripes. MacAlasdair said "there should be reasonable restrictions on inappropriate content and scary technology", Burton fearmongered against hip-hop and smart technology, Steinbeck agreed with Montgomery, and Ferguson was neutral.

### Second Debate: Portland Debate

The second debate, held on November 17, 2023 in Portland, Oregon, moderated by the same moderator. The issues were the status of religious freedom and the rights of Religious Chawosaurians in Chawosauria, the futures of the leaders themselves after 2025, the Israel-Hamas war, and personally chosen issues. Ferguson refused to participate in the Portland debate due to being confronted for his joke of sexually abusing his niece.

No parliamentary leader took a stand for freedom of religion nor they committed to expanding the civil rights of Religious Chawosaurians, the reason being is because in the deeply irreligious Chawosauria, freedom of religion is universally seen as a "radical and extremist idea" that only delivers seriously fatal consequences, and there is universal prejudice against Religious Chawosaurians, and the parliamentary leaders are only here to win votes, not alienate them.

On the issue of what are the future plans of the parliamentary leaders themselves, Wendell Burton said he will not be a parliamentary leader in and after the 2029 Chawosaurian legislative elections, Prime Minister MacAlasdair affirmed his intensions to retire either during or after the 2025-2029 Chawosaurian Government due to his age, and said his wife will succeed him and run in 2029 and potentially 2034. Johnathan Montgomery said he hadn't made a formal decision about his future, and Steinbeck said he will remain as leader of the Grassroots Democratic People's Green Party of Chawosauria. Everybody hopes that Ferguson will be gone after 2024.

The conservation went turn to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Burton struggled to criticize Israel, while everybody else sharply criticized Israel.

Then, parliamentary leaders were free to debate each other over random issues that they like to discuss. Montgomery took advantage of the opportunity to backtrack his original stance on hip hop and smartphones in Chawosauria, Montgomery criticized hip-hop for its content, saying "our kids are watching this stuff and respect amongst the youth has eroded, they're failing academically, they're doing drugs at early age, and they're getting in trouble" and Montgomery raised concerns about AIs, smart technology, and 21st century pop culture; Montgomery was accused of flip-flopping, but he responded by saying "you learn from the people and that's how great leaders lead".

### Third Debate: Quebec City Debate

The third debate was held on Sunday, December 17, 2023, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It is the same moderator from the last two debates. The issues are the statuses of democracy and LGBT rights in the United States and Christmas in Chawosauria. Scott D. Ferguson refused to participate in the third debate and Jonathan Denzel Steinbeck declined the third debate due to the Chawosaurian Green New Deal's universal unpopularity.

The moderator asked Wendell Rawlings Burton, a Republican, whether he believes the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen as the MAGA movement suggested, Burton empathized his bipartisan vote for President Biden and said this was "not a Chawosaurian issue", which garnered mixed results from debate watchers. On the issue of LGBT rights in the U.S., the moderator stated the an unprecedented number of anti-LGBT legislation have been introduced in the United States and that LGBT Americans are in the dangerous point of their history as a community, in response, Prime Minister MacAlasdair strongly condemned the 2020s anti-LGBT movement in the U.S., with Johnathan Montgomery following suit, but then Burton gaffed the debate topic, saying infamously that he believed he loved the LGBT community but he considers "their lifestyle" a sin, the moderator asked Burton to specify, forcing Burton to go off the rails and panically empathize the LGBT conservative candidates that he has successfully recruited, with Prime Minister MacAlasdair telling Burton "that is what you call tokenism, which is worse than wokeism".

The topic then goes to the issue of Christmas in Chawosauria, Christmas is not a holiday in Chawosauria and there have been recent attempts to make Christmas a holiday in Chawosauria, but the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government rejected these efforts due to the strong over-representation of Secular Chawosaurians and their political interests. Prime Minister MacAlasdair stated that he outright opposes Christmas being a holiday in Chawosauria, and Johnathan Montgomery too says he opposes Christmas becoming a holiday in Chawosauria too, but Montgomery said he is open to making Santa Claus Day a holiday, calling a secular version of Christmas that Chawosaurians should consider; Wendell Burton, who is unware of Christmas' universal unpopularity amongst the Chawosaurian public, asked MacAlasdair and Montgomery "what's wrong with Christmas? It's a special holiday", causing MacAlasdair and Montgomery to look at Burton like he's an idiot, leaving the two men stunned and confused with him and his apparent lack of awareness of how hated of a holiday Christmas is in the Chawosaurian world. In Chawosauria, Christmas holds an approval rating of only 0%, showing how deeply unpopular Christmas is in Chawosauria.

After the debate ended, Burton faced a scathing backlash for his disastrous debate performance, and the Burton Coalition was left ideologically shattered; Prime Minister MacAlasdair faced universal praise for his stable performance, managing to stay focus on the issues, and Johnathan Montgomery also received praise for his performance as well.

### Fourth Debate: Saranac Lake Debate

Same moderator and hosted by EOCBC once again, in Saranac Lake, the Saranac Lake Debate revolves two issues: Wendell Rawlings Burton's ideological positions and whether he can hold the Burton Coalition together, due to memories of how Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a failed to keep the DKA Coalition together after Degotoga K. Atagulkalu died, which was memorably a detriment to the anti-communists in the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections.

In the debate, Prime Minister MacAlasdair and Johnathan Montgomery relentlessly attacked Wendell Burton and his ideas. Burton defended his positions, starting off my distancing himself from the U.S. Republican Party, he denounced the American far-right movement, he backtracked his comments about LGBT people that he made in the last debate, saying homosexuality is not a lifestyle choice, he strongly condemned the 2020s anti-LGBT movement in the U.S., he publicly stated that he supported same-sex marriage, LGBT adoption rights, protection of LGBT people from discrimination, and he does not consider homosexuality to be immoral, though a backtrack from his previous stance from the previous debate. Burton distanced himself from his old stances from the last debate, saying "I needed time to educate myself and have personal conversations with LGBT candidates about their experiences" and of Donald Trump, who is the second ranked public figure to be met with displeasure amongst Chawosaurians, Burton stated that Donald Trump "does not represent my views as an American and a Republican".

Burton specified his political positions, he stated his skepticism of fiscal conservatism, saying "I do not think that balancing the budget, increasing defense spending, and shrinking the government can all happen at the same time", but stated that the government spending and the taxes done by the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government has got to stop, Burton said he wanted to force an end to the Chawo-Uralic War, he said AIs are a threat, and Chawosaurian workers are endangered of losing their jobs to robots. Burton also attacked Hip-hop music, pornography, sex on TV, and among others.

MacAlasdair attacked Burton as a flip-flopper, and Montgomery said Burton is who is he truly is, a conservative right-wing Republican.

The second topic is the Burton Coalition's ability to hold together, given it is divided between liberals and conservatives, as well as libertarians. Burton attacked the Socialist Coalition as divided as well, pointing to their moments of internal turmoil, most notably the 2022 Chawopolis Palace Riots and the 2022 Chawosaurian Prime Ministerial election, and the Socialist Coalition's inability to have a unified stance on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Burton declared that he will keep the Burton Coalition unified, but within the Burton Coalition, there is worry about Wendell Burton's age and who will succeed him, Wendell Burton will be 75 by the time he is potentially Prime Minister, and Supreme Leader Degotoga K. Atagulkalu was 69-years-old in 2019 when he died, which crippled the DKA Coalition's ability to stay together without DKA leading it, and DKA and Wendell Burton were born in the same year though the two men had never met in their lives.

### Impact of the Parliamentary Leaders' Debates

The debates escalated the competitive nature of the election, however Wendell Burton's third debate performance may have caused him to squander what would have been a revolutionary wave, thus saving the Red Age from collapsing.

## Predictions

Throughout the whole 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government's entire term, it was widely predicted that the Chawosaurian Communist Party (CCP) will dramatically lose seats to a wide extend, but predictions differ as to how would this effect their hold on power in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace. Before 2023, it was speculated widely that the Communist Party will lose seats but maintain only a bare majority, but after 2023, the belief that the Communist Party will lose so many seats that they'd lose control of parliament has gotten stronger.

### Parliamentary Predictions

These are new prediction models by OneThousand, projecting a Chawosaurian Revolutionary Party conservative majority.

### Two-Way Aggregation

In this two-way model, it was predicted that the Communist Party would hold a bare majority in parliament, but after the summer of 2023, the Communists lost their lead.
