102nd 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 2 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 June 18th 2023, the 101st government formed consisting of the APM, CSM, and KAB with Mr. Nugget as Chancellor. A total of 25 bills would be proposed in the 101st National Assembly.

### An Active Assembly

    On June 19th 2023, the SDP's Noot Noot! would propose the Healthcare Amendment of June 2023 which was a constitutional amendment which would have many healthcare exclusively a national responsibility. It would receive backlash from federalists in Adoria and the bill would conclude in a 28-28 tie but VP MarceL would offer no tiebreak as the amendment required 2/3rds. In another rare competitive speaker race, StarsBees (SDP) would run for speaker again. This time he would run against Lawrence (CSM), and Berus (APM). StarsBees would receive **34** votes while Lawrence received 33 and Berus 0.

### Climate Conundrum

On June 22nd 2023, PP's Reeves would propose the Office for Natural Disasters Act 2023 which would create the OND which would serve to access disaster coordination, manage emergency drills, and deliver readiness reports. It would pass with **94.59%** in favor. On June 27th 2023, events news would confirm that the Space for the River | Adoria which had been passed in the 96th National Assembly was finally complete after 3 months providing flood protections for Adoria. It was also confirmed that the OND was now in effect but its overlapping responsibilities with the pre-existing Misfortune Mitigation Agency (MMA) hindered efficiency. SDP's Noot Noot! would swiftly respond by proposing the *Merging MMA and OND Act* which merged the MMA into the OND. It would pass with **84.61%** in favor. On June 30th 2023, via events news, the newly reorganised OND would alert the government of worsening weather conditions in the agricultural sector and water supplies meaning a drought was incoming. It was recommended to take preparations but it was too late for preventative measures. Chancellor Nugget would issue the Drought Management Act to create supply zones and mobilize engineers to create forecasts while also paving way for €250,000,000 in allocated funds. On July 2nd 2023, Defence Secretary Auber would issue the *Controlled Fires Campaign* which would order the OND to create fire campaign maps which the MoD would use to coordinate response efforts with relevant institutions.

### PMC Debacle

On June 25th 2023, Chancellor Nugget would propose the *Regulation of Private Military Companies Act* which would aim to keep private military companies (PMCs) legal for domestic production while having paramilitaries banned such as Wagner or Blackwater. It would pass with 52.46% in favor but would be vetoed by President Bossman on June 28th 2023, due to anti-gun stances. Chancellor Nugget would counter by issuing the Act as an executive order effectively bypassing the National Assembly. SDP Deputy Lady Alice would sue the EO for violating articles 18, 31 and 32 (the rule of law, and role of the legislature and cabinet). Chancellor Nugget would withdraw the EO and reintroduce a slightly altered version which would cause Alice's case to be dismissed but then re-accepted until being dismissed again following another withdrawal by the Chancellor.

President Bossman, July 3 2023

On July 2nd 2023, Chancellor Nugget would reenact the EO this time including provisions making the government the sole contractor for PMCs disallowing any private individuals or companies from purchasing from them. Lady Alice would in turn sue him until the next day when the Chancellor once again withdrew the bill and reenacted an amended version which was 100% identical to the previous day's version. President Bossman would threaten to depose the Chancellor if he attempted to withdraw the EO again. Bossman would even publicly flirt with the idea of removing Nugget and replacing him with Tomi which was within his right. The Chancellor would be sued once again with the trial still pending by election day but the verdict but eventually be delivered on July 10th 2023 with the EO being found unconstitutional.

## Results

On July 4th 2023, the 102nd Adorian election would begin and conclude the next day. It had originally been scheduled for July 3rd 2023 21:00 EST but was delayed to July 4th 2023 9:00 EST due to availability issues in the election team. After a 64-hour wait results would be released on July 8th 2023. Results would be generally unsurprising. This was the first parliament in over 3 years since the 21st general election to have yielded no Independent MPs. Turnout: **14.20%**.

## Government Formation

The right-wing parties would be able to form another majority except this time CSM would be exchanged for PP due to CSM's massive fall in seats. An APM-PP-KAB coalition would be formed with Mr. Nugget set to serve another term as Chancellor. KAB would gain the vice chancellorship for yet another term despite being smaller than PP in exchange for promising to help PP bills pass in the upcoming 102nd National Assembly. On July 9th 2023, President Bossman would officially announce the new government.
