72nd Adorian Election

←71st - 12th of March 2022 - 73rd→

## Electoral System

The National Assembly elects all of her 85 seats in a Simulated/Popular Vote Lottery in which the election system uses a 4:1 ratio of AES to Popular Vote. This election will use AES with the next 3 also utilizing AES.

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

As the previous election utilized popular vote, all bills and announcements of both the 70th and 71st government terms are used to calculate the 72nd election results. This is to ensure that all bills and actions have weight.

## Background

The nicknamed ''NekoCo'' of DMEA, CSM, ANP, LF, Gyldenløve, and Barres would see its chance to rule. They would all have agreed to common goals of:

* Furthering the EU ascension process;
* Balancing the budget: through devolution and austerity measures affecting all spending except defence spending and Router who will not see any decrease;
* Allow for a mandatory religious studies class that allows for students to choose a religion to learn about, one year class;
* Presenting comprehensive plan to reduce flood vulnerability in Adoria this term and presenting it in the assembly;
* Neutral on social policy, no regressive or progressive policies shall be passed by this government

But soon this agreement but see its first test

### CSM Adoption efforts

On 2 March 2022, Milf would propose the Safe Adoption Regulation Act. The propose of adoption long overlooked in Adoria would finally be regulated, however Milf's bill would include a provision requiring all Adopters to have to be a couple of a biological male and female. SDP and many others would condemn the bill and its bigotry. CSM and those supportive of the bill would argue adoption had never been a right but rather a privilege. CSM would not budge from their position noting that they were simply standing by their values while other conservative parties like ANP would be too scared to do so. ACT would whip for CSM's bill while also leaving the final choice to upvote to their MNAs' discretion.

On 3 March, 2022, ICM would attempt to pass a plagiarized version of CSM's bill allowing for gay adoption, but this bill would be denied for plagiarism. 40 minutes later, CSM would repropose their Adoption Regulation Act, this time allowing for gay couples to adopt, it would pass with over 90% in favor.

Despite CSM's decision to propose a non-controversial adoption bill, The NekoCo would not approve of CSM violating the coalition agreement by attempting to pass any social policy at all, and on 4 March 2022, PM Dan would formally announce the sacking of all CSM ministers and the Coalition's consensus to replace CSM with ACT. On 5 March 2022, iShouldStop would propose expanding adoption rights to non-married couples who had been together for at least 4 years, this proposal would narrowly fail.

### The Senate and the States II

Originally proposed 4 months ago on 4 November 2021 in the 62nd Assembly, the Bipartisan Parliament-Government Reform Act proposed a massive restructuring of the Adorian political system by introducing an Adorian Senate. It however failed to gain 2/3rds and fell to the dustbin of history. On 2 March 2022, with a wave of renewed interest in a Senate, BankChairman Bert would repropose his Senate Bill. With only 65.91% in favor it would narrowly fail short of 2/3rds. On 4 March 2022, another attempt would be made to pass the Senate Bill. On 4 March, 2022, the Bipartisan Parliament-Government Reform Act would be passed with around 70% in favor. One of the most consequential pieces of Adorian political framework since the introduction of debates on 19 February 2021.

With the mood of federalism only growing, Yannick would take the occasion to introduce his first federal bill ever on 7 March 2022. The Provincial Devolution Act would delegate the States the right to levy their own taxes. It would pass the next day with **71.74%**. The Creative Team would again clarify economy is managed solely at national taxation and that provincial taxation has no bearing.

### Sexual Assault

The Adorian Military Academy in Ador City had long been established by the Adorian Military Education by the 70th Assembly, would see itself become the center of controversy after two young women quit the Academy on 6 March 2022, one claiming to have been harassed by a cadet with her complaints being dismissed by the Academy administration, the other claiming a male teacher having forced himself onto her with no reprehension. Many from all political aisles would condemn these acts adopting the *#StandWithThem* slogan. Just the next day, the Heinous Sex Crimes Punishment Act of 2022 and Establishment of the Adorian Military Police Force Act would be passed increasing punishment for sexual assault, rape, and child pornography; and establishing the Adorian Military Police to enforce Adorian and CofR law in the armed forces. On 10 March 2022, the Exploitation Act would be passed creating measures against child abuse and exploitation against predatory behaviour online.

### Ukraine Response

Inaugurated on 1 March 2022, President SoleSol's first order of business would be to meet with diplomatic staff and government officials on organizing relief for Ukraine and a NATO visit to Romania. The next day President SoleSol would land in Warsaw to meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda to discuss the situation in Ukraine. With PM Dan's approval, SoleSol would issue a presidential decree donating ₺65 million (€5.2m) of the Foreign Ministry's budget to Poland and Ukraine:

* 32.5 Million will be going directly to local Polish Authorities;
* 16.25 Million will be going to the Red Cross;
* 16.25 Million will be going to Global Giving.

On 3 March 2022, The 71st Assembly would pass the *Creation of Rapid Reaction Forces Act*, establishing 2 battalions totaling 600 soldiers in case of any NATO conflict these Rapid Reaction Forces will serve as Adoria's first response.

On 4 March 2022, Per the President's request, the Army would deploy 200 soldiers to Romania for training and review as part of Adoria's commitment to NATO and missions in the region. On 7 March 2022, President SoleSol and PM Dan would meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for very productive talks. Paving way for an additional ₺60 million (€4.8m) of the Foreign Ministry's budget for more humanitarian aid. President SoleSol would also entertain the idea of potentially sending lethal aid in the future, however with Parliamentary consent. The US Ambassador would thank Adoria for their quick cooperation. 2 days later, Chairman Bert would announce plans to freeze all assets held by the Russian Central Bank and the Subsidiary banks such as "Rossiya" and other state owned-oligarch affiliated banks such as VTB, Sberbank and Alpha Bank to be frozen indefinitely. Along with a withdrawal of the Adorian Central Bank from ownership of any Russian Government-owned stock of Lukoil and Rosneft which amounts to 2.8% of their total stocks given. PM Dan would also take the occasion to pass an Act formally apologizing to Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus for recognizing Cyprus as Greek territory, and would formally rescind this claim.

An effort by DMEA to formally establish a Russo-Sanction response, General Sanctions Act, would narrowly fail on 10 March 2022 for attempting to sanction US officials involved in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

## Results

The election would conclude on 13 March 2022. 30 hours later, results would be released on 15 March 2022. CSM's rise would be widely unprecedented. Turnout would be measured at **22.38%**. Traditional Workers Party would forget to sign up.

## Government Formation

LF would express preference towards SDP over CSM mainly due to ideological similarities and CSM having been unable to fulfill Neko Compromises. Though when the time came a LeftCo of SDP, DMEA, Liam, and Graydient would form. With PM DANIEL!'s retirement DMEA would go on without him. The government would form on 17 March 2022 with Dekks as Prime Minister.
