60th Adorian Election

←59th - 2nd of October 2021 - 61st*→*

## Electoral System

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system for the term is decided via dice roll. As a Simulated Vote was rolled in the previous election in which the odds were 75% AES - 25% Popular, the odds of this election were an additional +25% to the losing choice for odds of **50-50% AES or Popular**.

If AES is rolled the Adorian Election System is used to determine the election results. The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% of the AES with other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. The AES is overseen by Matthew V. Independent Candidates function outside of the AES and only require 1/85th (1.18%) of the Popular Vote.

## Background

#### Previous Government Formation

With the results of the previous election, the SDP would see their largest seat share yet at **39** seats. Much of this would be attributed to SDP Leader Dekks' constant campaigning and bills. Though talks of a Coalition between the SDP and NUF were floated however this possibility was ruled out by NUF Co-Leader Reeves who would then shortly resign as this was the NUF's worst performance ever. The new Labour-Conservative Party would express interest in a coalition with the SDP however SDP Leadership would primarily debate a coalition with either the United Workers Front or Liberal Democratic Party. Settling on an SDP-LDP Coalition with Dekks, the Government proposal would be widely confirmed by both Parties' membership. On 22 September 2021 President Lich would confirm the new government and appoint Dekks as Adoria's next Prime Minister. With a whopping **58.82%** Seat Control of the National Assembly, this would be the 2nd Largest Government Majority in Adorian History, after the 22nd Government under PM Matthew V.

#### State Consolidation Movement

As part of the Government's official agenda, the Ruling Coalition would aim to merge inactive and dysfunctional states into 3 main island states. In an LDP-Bill sponsored by the SDP, The State Consolidation Act would aim to merge the states of Aklanos and Maritania into the State of Synaro by ordering state referendums in the respective regions. As required by the Constitution, States must consent to their dissolution, or a 2/3rds NA Vote is required. With the Act's passing on 24 September 2021 Synaro would vote the next day nearly unanimously to consent to the 2 other states joining them with only Fmr. Governor Tooger voting against it. However, Aklanos and Maritania would not be on the same page with Aklanos voting 60% against the merger and Maritania 75%. This would for a large part end the State Consolidation Movement.

#### Hussaria Flag Act II

The State of Hussaria for long had flown their State Flag higher than the National Flag as passed by their Hussaria Flag Act, On 22 September 2021 the same day the 59th Government was sworn in, the Hussarian Assembly would pass the Flag Act II banning any flag other than the State Flag from being flown from Government buildings in Hussaria, the next day Lavanda Islands would follow, and Synaro the next. However, this would incite harassment of federal workers in Hussaria with State government officials blockading them from entering some government buildings. It would even be reported that one Hussarian Janitor had splashed a bucket of cold water on federal employees. Following these events, Governor Yannick would veto the Hussaria Flag Act II. The Government would also pass the Adoria Flag Act on 26 September 2021 mandating the National Flag be displayed at the top of all government buildings federal or otherwise. President Lich and Governor Yannick would give speeches calling for Adorian National Unity in the Hussarian Capitol of Winleydon.

Such action would appease restless sentiment in Hussaria however denizens of Lavanda and Synaro would be outraged to find their state legislation overruled. On election day 02 October 2021 A viral video of a masked man burning the Adorian flag and calling for the independence of Lavanda Islands would be uploaded, gaining hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of days. In Synaro, several federal buildings would be quarantined after an anonymous person sent letters filled with white powder to all major federal buildings in Synaro, the capital city of the province of Synaro. The white powder would later be identified as regular flour with no injuries reported. Both incidents would be investigated by the local police forces with no culprit found.

#### Low-quality Adorian Food Products

On 29 September 2021 the Adorian Customer Society (ACS) would file an official complaint to the government stating that Adorian markets had become flooded with cheaper foreign goods, such as Adorian-made Nutella containing cheaper ingredients such as whey instead of skimmed milk. Other such incidents would be cited such as in the candy industry and laundry detergents. The ACS would call for these practices to end before Adoria becomes known as *a den of low-quality products thrown away by wealthier Europeans.* The Government would respond swiftly with Industry Minister Fabiaen issuing an Executive Order requiring that any product that is sold in Adoria as well as outside of Adoria must be of an equal quality in Adoria as in any other country. Along with also giving the Industry Ministry and ACS both the ability to prohibit any good or company they believe is violating this. This declared prohibition would then need to be approved by the other institution if approved then the prohibition stays in force until equal quality is achieved, if vetoed the prohibition ceases with an investigation of the product at least every month for the next six months by both institutions to follow.

## Results

Results would be announced along the 25th presidential election on 4 October 2021. This election would see a turnout of **22.64%** with a dice roll of **AES**. Besides the 55th Election, this would be the only other occasion in which 8 independent MNAs were present. NUF Co-Leader Based Autocrat would resign following his party's disappointing results.

## Government Formation

With the announcement of the results coalition forming would begin. A continuation of the SDP-LDP Co was expected but with the LDP promoted to Senior Partner of the coalition. LDP and SDP would proceed to negotiations however SDP Leader Dekks would also enter into backroom negotiations with the NUF to explore the nature of a potential Anti-LDP Coalition as a means to preserve the SDP's place as Head of the governing coalition. These backroom negotiations would be leaked by Adoria Times. As the SDP Leadership had not been consulted on the prospect of a coalition with the NUF, Dekks would resign as SDP Leader and Prime Minister for going rogue as the party had voted for a coalition with the LDP. The LDP would withdrawal from negotiations with the SDP and would form a governing coalition with the LCP and Fmr. President Arjona holding a total of **50.59%** of the National Assembly. The newly inaugurated President Daniel would appoint LDP Leader Bert as Adoria's next Prime Minister.
