Czechoslovak Elections and Political System

## Political System

The Alternative for Czechoslovakia: A fascist party that has since moderated somewhat to become more of a hard right conservative party, aiming to weather the current storm of Geopolitics through government control

The Social Democratic Party: A Social democratic to socialist party and the oldest party on this ticket, who believes that the government should not control people but should control industries for the people.

The Liberal-Conservative Party: A merger of the Conservative and Liberal parties into one was unexpected by most, but it made sense once the Fascist government made them both have the same policies. It is a Centre-right party that supports Libertarian ideas.

The Workers Party: An offshoot of the SDP during the Fascist government, it is hard left and communist, supporting a Soviet style government.

The Left: Another offshoot of the SDP, it follows a very liberal and left wing ideology, similar to anarcho-syndicalism.

The Liberal/Libertarian Party: The remains of the liberal party, committed to staying centrist and liberal.

The Green Party: A party focused on reducing pollution and carbon emissions, as well as reducing mining in Czechia and planting more trees

The Anarcho-capitalist Party: A party who wants to remove the state and have everyone fend for themselves

After the Fascist Government stepped down, the King(now Emperor) did not get any of his powers back. Instead, they defaulted back to the legislature that now elects an Executive prime minister, who has now most of those powers. The Parliament is now also elected via PR, so the archaic rules regarding areas for voting no longer apply

## History of Elections

#### 13/8/22

AfC: 32.5%

SDP 32.5%

LCP: 15%

Workers': 7.5%

Left: 7.5%

Liberal: 5%

   The left wing parties tried to form a coalition, but the left and workers' parties couldn't thrash out a deal. However, the right wing coalition was significantly weakened in their position by the Liberal party, who was the kingmaker in this election, and thus there will not be too much Fascism.

This coalition promptly fell apart.

#### 14/08/22

This time, the left wing got its stuff together and managed to form a coalition between the SDP, the Left party and the Greens. They agree on most policy points, but the Left managed to persuade the rest to be more liberal, and the greens that the rest be more eco-friendly.

SDP: 30%

AfC: 20%

Green: 12.5%

Left: 12.5%

LCP: 10%

Liberal: 10%

ACP: 2.5%

Workers': 2.5%

Total Coalition: 55

### 10/9/22

Snap elections were called after it was found out that the CSI had been operating out of Stettin for some time. Parties that took hard lines against this were the Green party, the Liberal-conservative party, the Ancap party and the workers party. The rest tacitly supported the move, along with the general population.

The results are as follows

SDP: 35%, 175 seats

AfC: 25%, 125 seats

Left: 15%, 75 seats

Green: 10%, 50 seats

LCP: 7.5%, 38 seats

Liberal: 5%, 25 seats

Ancap: 2.5%, 12 seats

Workers: Failed to reach 2.5% threshold.

The left and SDP parties formed a new coalition. The greens decided to sit crossbench as they support most government policy but not the stettin issue.
