←78th - 27th of June 2022 - 80th→

## 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 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.

## Background

With a 78th government unable to effectively form the incumbent 77th Government would carry on as caretaker effectively giving PM Bossman a historic 5th consecutive term.

### Balancing the budget

The continuing SDP government would carry on with plans to cut down on the national debt. On June 20th 2022, The SDP's *Responsible Fiscal Policy Act* would be passed requiring all surplus from unspent revenue to be spent on paying the public debt. Later that day they would also propose the *Synaro Iron Mining Act* opening up Synaro for resource extraction and mining in iron-rich regions. A third of this royalty revenue generated by this new supply would go towards debt payment. The SDP's 78th Federal Budget would mark the 4th balanced budget in a row.

### Trial of Shennogo

*Main Article:* Adorian Situation Uprising

On June 9th 2022, the High Court had found Lavanda Governor Shennogo guilty of treason and incitation due to actions he had taken early on during the rebellion by publicly opening negotiations with protest leaders and even joining them himself. However on June 14th 2022, the Supreme Court would issue Verdict 45 annulling the HC's verdict for improper procedure, effectively freeing Shennogo. 2 days later this verdict would be expanded on with Verdict 47 clarifying that Verdict 45 was not an appellate trial overrule but simply ordering a retrial due to improper procedure in the HC, meaning Shen was still liable to punishment for the charges against him. However on June 21st 2022, the High Court would dismiss the case due to the prosecution (Lux Jefferson)'s failure to commit discovery violating the defendant's right to know the evidence against him. The trials would be considered political motivated due to the potential to blacklist Shennogo from power for up to 4 weeks and justices exhibited bias towards Shennogo and the rioters most notoriously SC Justice LastCelebration who would downplay reports of violence and treason.

## Results

The election would start on June 27th 2022 concurrent with the 34th Presidential Election, both would end the next day. After 29 hours results would be announced on June 30th 2022. After 4 consecutive electoral victories by the SDP they would finally drop below 30 seats for the first time since the 73rd general election. Turnout would be **20.62%**.

## Government Formation

On 30 June 2022, President King Adoria would announce a coalition of the AFP, LNP, KAB and Yannick together holding a collective 43-seat majority. This would mark the end of Bossman's historic 60-day premiership.
