101st Adorian Election

## Electoral System

*Further information:* AES explanatory doc*,* PMA explanatory doc

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

The main component of the AES is the popular vote which comprises 40% or more while the other 60% or less is simulated based on other factors such as propaganda, party activity, Party member notability, bills proposed, etc composing the rest of the electorate. At the very most AES accounts for 60% of seats which serves as a bonus system for activity but if these AES seats were not earned due to inactivity throughout the term then they are reimbursed to be popular vote seats. 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

On May 24th 2023, the 100th government formed consisting of every party: the SDP, KAB, PP, APM, CSM, PRP, ACI, and ALRP. Matthew V would return to the chancellorship after a 25 month hiatus. A total of 18 bills would be introduced in the 100th National Assembly.

### The Ultimate Government

The 6 independents of the NA would express disappointment in being discluded from the 100th government. Chancellor Matthew V would claim the reason had been due to time constraints and subsequently invited all independents to join the coalition. Carlos Montiel (IND) would reject this call to action and would announce he and the other 5 indies had unanimously decided to reject Matthew's invitation and instead form an opposition. On May 29th 2023, PP Leader Marcel would confirm that the PP would not be backing President Earthly's re-election and would instead being pursuing an SDP-PP ticket citing a better deal as PP had more seats than APM giving them motive to form their own ticket instead of just following an APM-KAB ticket that wouldn't even contain a PP member. Montiel would approach Earthly on forming a KAB-APM-CSM-PRP-IND to replace the grand coalition. Earthly would consider this nuclear option but would decide it against. Instead he would simply remove Marcel as interior secretary and replace him with Montiel. However he would reverse this decision 43 minutes later under pressure from Chancellor Matthew V. Earthly would consider Marcel's actions as a betrayal of the whole Right and simply opportunistic to gain the VP position. Marcel would later resign on June 2nd 2023, citing the President as being a ''stupid child'' simply for not blindly following him.

### An Active Assembly

Within the 100th National Assembly, a truly competitive speaker race would ensue between Berus (APM), Daniel Index (IND), Lich (PP), and StarsBees (SDP). In a runoff between Lich and StarsBees, Starsbees would triumph in a narrow 31-29 victory. Marcel's actions had costed him APM's support for PP in the speaker race. On May 31st 2023, President Earthly would present the East Africa Diplomatic Action Plan, Phase II to the Assembly after concluding his trips across East Africa meeting with their national leaders. It proposed the construction of an Adorian naval base in Djibouti, a Madagascar-Adoria student exchange program, and more. It would pass with 85.00% in favor. On June 10th 2023, Chancellor Matthew V would issue 9 executive orders and would later propose the Executive Agenda of the 100th Government that day codifying all 16 EOs of the term into law. This would be the first and only bill to be debated with the presenter and presider being the same person. It would pass with 82.61% in favor. Matthew would declare the government a success fulfilling his aim of at least 1 EO per Department. Additionally he would hold the first census since December 2022.

### Growing Connections

On May 30th 2023, President Macron of France would land in Adoria for an official State Visit. He would be warmly received with Foreign Secretary SoleSol even preparing an invitation list. The visit would be performed under the State Visit Regulations Act which had been recently passed by the 99th National Assembly. President Earthly, Chancellor Matthew V would be in attendance with many more. On June 12th 2023, the Greek Adorian Rail Project which had been passed by 94th National Assembly would make headlines for boosting tourism. It was completed in early May and marked the first time Adoria was connected to another country by rail allowing for both cargo and passengers to move between Adoria and Greece.

## Results

On June 11th 2023, the 101st general election would begin concurrent with the 45th presidential election. After a groundbreaking **102** hours, results would be released on May 17th 2023. This would be the longest wait time ever surpassing the 97th general election. The results were regarded as unsurprising with the SDP, APM, CSM who all did bills in the 99th and 100th terms rising while the PP, KAB, ACI, ALRP who did none or few falling. Turnout: **16.59%**.

## Government Formation

With the release of results negotiations would ensue. It would seem as if a SDP government would be inevitable especially as it was within the right of the newly inaugurated President Bossman to nominate an SDP chancellor even without a majority. In spite of this the SDP would be unable to effectively form a government as their most viable ally the CSM would refuse to form a government with them due to abolishing the monarchy. With the SDP unable to recruit coalition partners they would give up on forming a government for the election cycle. A rightco of APM, CSM, KAB would be negotiated. 5 out of 12 of the cabinet positions would be kept the same from the previous government. KAB would snag the vice chancellor position despite the CSM being bigger than them due to APM's pro-KAB sympathies and CSM's general apathy towards cabinet positions they can't make active. As Earthly's presidency was now ending he would be able to rejoin a party once again. Mr. Nugget's last act as APM leader before relinquishing power back to Earthly would be to secure a position as Chancellor in the new government. On June 18th 2023, President Bossman would officially announce the new government consisting of the APM, CSM, KAB with Mr. Nugget as Chancellor.
