Election-At-Home

In Chawosaurian politics, an **election at home** (also known as a **native election** or abbreviated as **EAH**) is when an election outside the Chawosaurian world has significance in relevance if that election takes place in the homeland of an Imperial Leader or a Chawosaurian politician of high significance like the Leader of the Opposition. For example, a United States presidential election can be "the election at home" of the Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria who is a native of the United States of America, whether born a Chawosaurian or wasn't. The reason these kinds of elections are significant is because all Chawosaurians have duel citizenship, a Chawosaurian tradition honoring the concept of cosmopolitanism, a core part of the Chawosaurian identity; an election-at-home can represent a victory or a defeat of an imperial leader if his or her native party wins or loses.

The most recent Supreme Leader to win an election at home was Degotoga K. Atagulkalu in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, which saw DKA's Democratic Party cruise to a "blue wave" across the United States, giving Democrats a 41 seat pickup of the U.S. House of Representatives and seven additional governorships. The most recent Leader of the Opposition to win an election at home was Sydney Lucas Webster in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, where the same Democratic Party he shared with DKA have successfully avoided a Republican "red wave", the Democrats gained a Senate seat without losing one of their own, gained a net couple of governorships, and gained ground in state legislatures, while successfully yanking down Republican gains in the U.S. House of Representatives, though not down enough to prevent a narrow Republican majority. The Great Depression was the last time a Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria had a successful election-at-home, but Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy III would have broken this long streak in the 2022 Australian federal election, but he was pushed out of office before that would happen.

## Concept

The Chawosaurian world is a worldwide community that has its own ancestry, own history, and own society and culture, and the Empire of Chawosauria is a world government state with its own government, own laws, and own set of standards not associated with the rest of human society, which is called an Orbis.

Because of this, Chawosauria has leaders that will likely be from all over the world, for example, its current Supreme Leader, Shang Jong Parker, who is Chawosauria's head of state and government, was born in China. Chawosaurians treat their heterogeneous and global community and government as part of their culture, their way of life, that one of the ways they do that is either embrace duel citizenship or proudly reside in their native lands. Thus politically, started the concept of "an election at home" for their political leaders.

In the concept of an election at home, how it works is that because Chawosauria has leaders from all over the planet and that Chawosaurians have a proud culture of embracing their world community, Chawosaurian leaders are associated, at their own choice, with the political parties of their native countries or the country they currently live; in the Chawosaurian concept, it is called a "native party" and in some cases, a "home party" or the political party of a Chawosaurian politician who lives in one country but was born in another.

When a certain Imperial Leader (Supreme Leader, General Secretary, President, Prime Minister, or Speaker) serves, the country that Imperial Leader lives presently, whether it is the United States, Canada, etc. will hold an election, and that situation is called "an election at home" and that Imperial Leader (say is an American) is a Democrat but is still associated with a Chawosaurian political party, called a Chawoparty. When the Democratic Party wins an American presidential election, that reflects positively on the Supreme Leader, but when Republicans win, it reflects negatively on the Supreme Leader, and the same situation applies to General Secretaries, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Speakers.

## *Home Run*

In the Chawosaurian political context, a home run is when an election at home produces a successful result for a specific leader, the term has its origins from baseball, which is when a player batting the incoming ball so hard that he or she scores, leading to the sentence "he has hit a home run!".

Elections at home have become a tradition, due to the Webster years and the Great Depression, but however, they lost its relevance due to the dominance of the Chawallian Communist Party which leaders are mostly from the west or from countries that do not hold free and fair elections, this is because in the west, communist parties are vastly unpopular, and in countries where communist parties do rule, they do not rule democratically, and the anti-communist Leader of the Opposition George Windsor's election-at-home record is watered down by predominate British Tory election wins, he only had three home runs because of Tony Blair, making the 1997 British general election the first home run for an Opposition Leader since World War II.

But elections at home have gained a comeback during the Chawosaurian Revolution, when Supreme Leader Antonio Kingston becomes the first Supreme Leader since the interwar period to have received a home run in his native country, Brazil, in the 2014 Brazilian general election, and two years later, Supreme Leader Abooksigun Eluwilussit got a bad result from the United States in 2016, which tarnished his political career, thus further regaining the political relevancy of elections-at-home. Eluwilussit's fellow American-born Supreme Leader, Degotoga K. Atagulkalu, had a far better result in the U.S. in 2018. Since the Great Depression, a Prime Minister has never hit a home run in an election at home.

Countries that have succeeded in delivering home runs for the top three Chawosaurian political leaders are Spain, the UK, the US, Australia, and Brazil, a total of just five countries. But of all the nations that successfully delivered home runs, only one nation of the five has yet to fail in delivering a home run while the other four have failed occasionally at delivering home runs for leaders, that one country is Brazil.

The United States' first successful home run was for Prime Minister Garfield Lucas Webster in the 1918 U.S. midterm elections which saw Webster's Republican Party won control of the U.S. Congress on the back of war weariness amongst Americans. Webster also holds the United States' first unsuccessful attempt to deliver a home run, that was in the 1910 U.S. midterm elections, which saw the Democratic Party making major and serious gains, those elections created a cycle of bad press for the Republican Webster in 1910 and early 1911.

### Shang Jong Parker and the 2020 U.S. Elections

Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker lives in the United States and has citizenship there, but he also remains citizenship in China, and own residential properties in China as well, and he is not a member of neither the U.S. Democratic Party nor the U.S. Republican Party. But Parker endorsed Joe Biden for President in 2020. That was a controversial move, due to the fact that it is well remembered that Abooksigun Eluwilussit supported Hillary Clinton, though he didn't say it publicly, his preference was too obvious to be oblivious, and the 2016 election was a disaster for Abooksigun Eluwilussit. There was a fear that the 2020 U.S. election could embarrass Shang Jong Parker, though not to an extent that 2016 did for Abooksigun Eluwilussit, but would have made Parker looked bad if Joe Biden lost to President Donald Trump, but Biden's eventual victory spared Parker of a gut-punching geopolitical embarrassment.
