  17. Giovannilandian 1423 Election Results! Porto Violeto, Giovanniland — In a surprising turn of events, Elisa Anario-Silva of the Partido Laboristo is slated to become the new Prime Minister of Giovanniland once the transition period ends and the new Kongresso chooses the leader of Giovanniland for a period of at most five years. Elisa's party attained 133 seats in the national legislature in comparison to the 120 seats won by the Partido Soquale-Verde of the presumably outgoing Prime Minister, Amore Gile Abrente. Although the governing power stays in the hands of the same left-wing coalition (PL, PSV and the far-left Partido Komunista), it is Giovannilandian tradition to always have the Prime Minister of a coalition hail from the party with most seats in it. A total of 18,190,676 voters came to the elections, which is a turnout of 75.73% from the total of 24,022,017 citizens with at least 18 years of age. Voters cast their votes for the general election according to their electoral district, where each party chooses one representative to run. created its own candidate list and the most popular candidate(s) from each party would get elected or not depending on the amount of votes. Regions and municipalities also elected members to their respectively legislatures, which in turn choose the leader for the given administrative division. The results confirm regional trends seen in previous elections, such as the Partido Violetista's strong appelation as a regional party in northern Lavender Island, as well as the domination of left-wing parties in major cities, bringing a large number of votes for their coalition's candidates. Left-wing voters also prevail in the very populous Giovannia Magna, Altana and Lido Ferenno regions, whereas the also densely populated southwestern coast of Lavender Island, the Primolido region, leans more to the right. Other political analysts focused on a more national overview of trends as seen in various polls. The graph below reunites several polls by different sources from the start of the year until three days before the elections, and then the actual results themselves with a prevalent bigger dot at the end. Polls aren't always accurate and only serve to show a snapshot of a specific moment rather than to predict, and this is shown by the fact most polls were predicting a Soquale-Verde win or at least a tie, but instead the Labristas gained a 13-seat advantage over their coalition allies. The surge of the Republikanos, as well as the fall of the Librale-Demokratas, were also movements not well caught by the polls, whereas for the other parties the polls were more or less in line with results. In any case, the final results were 133 seats for the Labristas (26.6%), 120 for the Soquale-Verdes (24%) and 72 for the Komunistas in the governing coalition (14.4%), a joint result of 325 seats which makes 65% of the 500-seat Kongresso. The other 175 seats represent the opposition parties, with the Republikanos' 111 (22.2%) accounting for more than half of them, followed by 43 for the Librale-Demokratas (8.6%), 17 for the Violetistas (3.4%) and 4 for the Patriotas (0.8%). Parties who gained seats in comparison to the 1418 Kongresso were the PK, PL and PR, whereas the PSV, PLD, PV and PP lost seats. These shifts, besides the obvious effects that they will have in changing the Prime Ministership from Amore Gile Abrente to Elisa Anario-Silva, also leave the PR's leader Lauro de Abreo-Florine in a much stronger position to potentially challenge the left-wing coalition in the next elections. Lauro, from the famous Abreo-Florine family that has given several Prime Ministers to Giovanniland in the past, most notably the brothers Tommaso and Kesare that started national industralization in the 12th century, will certainly enjoy influence over his peers from other parties, such as the PLD's Vinikio Lamponio and the PV's Tserino Fenestella. Also a rising star in politics is the communist leader Valerio Visellio Larone, whose leadership in the party has succeeded in rebuilding the party's influence in Giovannilandian politics after a decline in the late 13th century from its previous highly-regarded position. Meanwhile, in regards to the overall national vote for the parties, the Labristas led with 4,573,631 or 25.14% of the votes, followed by 4,215,191 or 23.17% for the Soquale-Verdes, 3,378,817 or 18.57% for the Republikanos, 2,758,506 or 15.16% for the Komunistas, 1,921,280 or 10.56% for the Librale-Demokratas, 1,090,949 or 6% for the Violetistas, and lastly 252,302 or 1.39% for the Patriots. Due to the nature of the elections being decided in each prefecture and then summed up to make the national Kongresso, there can be disparities between the popular vote share and seats distribution, this time benefitting mostly the Republikanos at the cost of the Violetistas. The final legislation composition is shown below: With elections concluded, we look forward to what the future holds for the country under new leadership. Although Giovanniland has a new leader from a different party, most stances on key national issues and political ideologies are fairly similar between the outgoing Mrs Abrente and the incoming Mrs Anario-Silva. After all, the new Prime Minister can rely on her predecessor's successes, including but certainly not limited to the Quorivo & Kharventhin Esferiad, the development of environmentally-friendly technology to maintain Giovanniland's position in the group of pioneer nations in this field, and continued improvement in social and economic standards across the nation.
  18. Could @Sekiya be masked Newspaper? Also, I apparently lost Newspaper forum access since I'm no longer Delegate. Oops. Could the Newspaper mask be readded to me as well?
