Well tbh there's absolutely no way of telling whether it is or not, as you've only got pretty vague descriptions up. But "left wing moderate" doesn't inspire much confidence, no. It implies a very centrist party, which combined with the other parties in your thing being universally right wing, implies a normal standard which sits quite far right of centre on an international scale.

Hey cool. So now the fringe of the left is populated, it seems like there is a wider window of acceptable discourse, hmm? if you wanna get really in depth I'm sure you could write up how your voting system works, how the seats are apportioned, manifestos for all the parties and all that jazz. But for now, my vote would likely go to CD or the WP. Might wanna edit the name for CD too, as it sounds pretty radical when the party itself is not.

I might do that, but dividing the seats is a simple question of a majority vote I would say.

So proportional representation? I'd be more encouraged to vote along actual ideological lines, in that case, rather than pragmatism.

Unfortunately, the political system I am used to IRL demands pragmatism from its people

Rosmana

I updated by factbook.

Its not great but I am still proud of it.

In short:

Rosmana Independent News:

Elections are postponed until Saturday, and the 3 major political parties are campaigning, as well as a few new ones, including the Federalist party, that seeks more unity through law and order and the liberty party, that seeks to deregulate the banks to stimulate the economy, and the Workers Party, which aims to dismantle the capitalist state.

Technocratic Founder wrote:Unfortunately, the political system I am used to IRL demands pragmatism from its people

Ah, well, not in Rosmana. LOL

And for the record, this election WILL determine the future of my country. (AS well as my own political identity)

Not a Socialist here, as I do stand in the Syncretism (Mixed in left and right, and in a centre position as a Technocrat.) Unfortunately, none of them suits my tastes ;P

Election result estimates for the Senate so far are in, with 85% of votes counted:

The Tarkana Party. 59 seats. +9

The Sagradan Party: 31 seats.+1

Crimson Dawn. 46 seats. -24

Liberty Party. 4 Seats. new

Federalist party. 9 Seats. new

The Workers Party: 21 Seats, new

Breaking News:

The election results for the Senate are still being counted, but Brent Stockwall of the Liberty Party has already published allegations implicating the government in cases of fraud, and they are accusing the Neopagan community and the Workers Party of manipulating the election.

So far no foreign government or any of the other parties have issued any statement.

The joke about the senate thing is a reference from Star Wars, while Rosmana's post is about the seats in their own nation's RP senate thingy. I have no idea how they divvied them up, exactly. Meanwhile, none of this has any bearing on the regional government itself.

With the elections over it is now up to the Tarkana Party to form a coalition, but which parties have the necessary 85 seats to form a majority government?, because the Sagradan Party and the Workers Party have already stated they will not work with the authoritarian Tarkana Party.

OOC: Suggestions?

Seems like you've got a classic situation for a minority government. I'd expect the Tarkana party to form a minority coalition with the federalists, but the others don't seem like they have enough in common to actually form a coalition. If a minority government isn't possible, and if individual senators control their own seats, and can change party affiliation, the best strategy would be for the Tarkana Party and the Federalists to try to nab some Sagradan party senators who lean more conservative, and maybe even try to absorb the Crimson Dawn to a large extent, on the premise that their serious drop in national support shows which way the wind is blowing.

A minority government will probably be an option, but they are still debating AKA I am not sure yet.

And the Liberty Party wants a recount.

Today talks have begun to form a minority government between The Tarkana Party, the Liberty Party and the Federalist part, as the Workers Party are trying to get a counter majority by working together with Crimson Dawn, and leftist members of the Sagradan Party.

Tensions are high, but so far there have been no acts of violence.

Rumours about a new defence deal with Rosmana, if a workers party led government comes to power, came out of the Legislative Assembly today. Critics say....well....nothing. They're all dead. But loyal citizens believe this could pave the way for a new patnership in the region.

Sabalonia wrote:The revolution is here! Power to the people!

Too ideological in my taste, most viable option is giving out a minority government led of sorts really. Maybe include the Federalist Party and the Liberty party in forming as a coalition, and give a go in how they would致e played out.
