80th Adorian Election

←79th - 13th of July 2022 - 81st→

## Electoral System

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

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 1 utilizing popular vote.

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.

## Background

Formed on 30 June 2022, the AFP, LNP, KAB and Yannick coalition would soon be the last formed under the Adorian Federation Constitution.

### Sixth Federal Republic

*Main Article:* Sixth Republic Referendum

Meow Zedong who had long since been aiming to bring an end to the Federation for 2 months now, would now organize a constitutional convention. A who's who of the political elite and all who were influential in Adoria. The diverse selection would manage to put together a Sixth Federal Republic constitution based on the German FRG constitution that would hold the support of every party except the CSM. Once finished a referendum would be held on the proposal which would pass with **82.46%**.

After 14 months the Adorian Federation would officially come to an end on July 5th 2022. This would also be the first original constitution built from scratch since the 4th Republic constitution 26 months ago.

### Shennogo Shenanigans

With the adoption of the new constitution, PM Shennogo would become the Federal Chancellor but he would now need to face the required vote of confidence which began on July 5th 2022. The vote would be tenacious with whipping on both sides for if it failed it would effectively serve as a VONC. The next day it would conclude with **51.35%** in favor and with it Shen would remain the chancellor.

Additionally the Vice President would also be transitioned into its successor position, the Assembly President for the same reasons as the chancellorship. Big Ben by now had become regarded as a deeply inactive incompetent VP/Ass.Prez and on July 7th 2022, the SDP would propose a VONC of him. Realizing he had lost the confidence of the NA, Big Ben would resign the next day. The VONC would pass with over 80% in favor.

As there was no Assembly President, a snap election would be held to fill in which only Shennogo and a minor politician called Boris ran in —both AFP. Realizing he would loose, Boris would soon drop out making Shennogo the new Chancellor. This would be considered an odd course of events to many as the AFP had whipped so hard to keep Shen as Chancellor only for him to resign 3 days later for an inferior position.

Regardless now that there was no chancellor, President King Adoria would have to appoint a new one. In questionable constitutionality, he would appoint Vice Chancellor Nepo to be Acting Chancellor and then nominate him. The Nomination of Nepo would go down as The Great Filibuster of 2022 for 2 and a half hours the Assembly would recite *Green Eggs and Ham*, *Industrial Society and its Future*, and discuss 15th century English history. The next day, Nepo would rage quit and leave Adoria after realizing the vote would fail, which it would with around 55% voting against. As the presidential nomination had failed, the assembly would now elect a Chancellor of their own but as the nomination had been a fluke with Nepo leaving mid-way, KA would questionably make a 2nd nomination as the first was potentially void. He would choose Liimur but it would fail the next day with only **43.59%** in favor. The NA was closing soon so an assembly election would never be held for Chancellor. The crisis would leave unanswered on recess appointments and nominations withdrawals.

## Results

The election was originally scheduled for July 12th 2022, but would begin 3 hours late on July 13th 2022. This would be the first election since the 64th general election to be posted by Matthew V. All others in the last 8 months had been posted by Montiel but he would be unable to this time due to irl commitments. This would be the first election held after the Three Year anniversary of the creation of the server and the first held under the Sixth Federal Republic Constitution. POGfish would forget to sign up the Liberal Democrats.

Concluding the next day after 24 hours, results would be announced on July 15th 2022 following a 28 hours wait. This election would unexpectedly utilize the **popular vote** as Matthew V had secretly made the decision to move the popular election up a cycle early from the planned 81st general election this way it would be easier to count e.g. GE80, 85, 90. Turnout would be **19.46%**.

## Government Formation

With results released both the SDP and ANP would attempt to form government. While a SDP-ANP-KAB coalition was originally suggested, the ANP and KAB would refuse to agree to it unless Liimur was chancellor. Branding the effort as a UnityCo and not just enabling an SDP Leftco. The SDP however would reject this believing they should control the chancellorship as the largest party. The SDP would then consider a SDP-UWF-KAB but the KAB would reject as, *''the KAB does not consider themselves spineless centrists who accept anything for power''*.

The rightwing parties would attempt a ANP-AFP-CSM-LUA-KAB coalition with Liimur as chancellor but when asked about abortion by CSM leader Ethan the coalition members would only be willing to increase restrictions instead of a full-ban suggested by Ethan. The CSM would turn out to have been allied with the SDP and UWF to form a SDP-UWF-CSM coalition from the beginning, and was just trolling the right wing parties to garner reactions. The SDP-UWF-CSM coalition agreed to a status quo on social issues, although the abortion ban on Mediterraneo had passed before the formation of the government, followed by the controversial ruling of the Supreme Court that abortion is deemed illegal pertaining to the new Sixth Republic Constitution, which the coalition was surprised by, but ultimately wasn't of their doing as their agreement was a status quo.

Under the new constitution, new chancellors would now need to face a Vote of Confidence. Passing with **55.71%**, Valeryon would become Chancellor on July 17th, 2022. He would subsequently announce the new SDP-UWF-CSM government.

Following his failure to signup for the election, POGfish would face an internal party VONC attempted by Kortographer. POG would survive the VONC and would consequentially kick Kor from the LD in response.
