<!--While the [[SLP (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Social Liberal Party]] (SLP) led by [[Tom Kirchmann (Pacifica)|Tom Kirchmann]] won 240 seats with a majority of 35.5% of the votes, they still had the biggest swing of all parties. 9.5% of their voters from 2013 decided to vote differently this time. The former coalition partner, the [[SDP (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Social Democratic Party]] led by [[Marco Chulz (Pacifica)|Marco Chulz]] however gained votes and seats in this election, which gave them overall a more powerful position in possible coalition talks and later on in the opposition.

One new party, the [[KPHA (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|King's Party of the House of Atlantis]], joined the parliament with 7.2% of the votes. The party of the former [[King of Atlantis (Pacifica)|King of Atlantis]], [[Ikaros VIII of Atlantis (Pacifica)|Ikaros VIII]], advertised with a conservative program that was more moderate than that of the [[AVP (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Atlantic People's Party]], which lost all their seats in parliament after only one legislative period. The same happened with the [[FPG (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Free Democrats]], as KPHA as well as SLP both aimed in their campaigning strategy to get more liberal votes, while sticking to the concept of a [[Wikipedia:social market economy|social market economy]]. The Free Democrats, that were discussing a move to a completely [[Wikipedia:free market|free market]] model, were therefore after 63 years no longer part of the Gianlucian parliament.

The [[Grüne (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Greens]], [[PPG (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|Pirates]] and [[LGI (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|the Left]] completed the elected parliament with altogether 203 seats, however no party was able to reach an absolute majority of 326 seats.

Barely a week after the election SLP, Greens and Pirates came to an agreement on a coalition treaty. This depicted one of the quickest government formation processes ever in the history of the country. A continuation of the "social-coalition" out of SLP and SDP was outruled by SDP's leader Marco Chulz during campaigning.

In the [[2013 Gianlucian federal election|elections of 2013]] a coalition out of the Social Liberals (SLP), which lost their absolute majority, and the Social Democrats (SDP) gained a majority and with that secured a second chancellery term for [[Harald Schmidt (Pacifica)|Harald Schmidt]]. Due to the aftershocks of the incorporation of Atlantis in 2011 the nationalistic Atlantic People's Party (AVP) gained more than 5% of the seats in parliament and established themselves as the biggest opponents of chancellor Schmidt.

The so called "social coalition" was introducing a minimum wage of 8 [[Gianlucian Tack (Pacifica)|Tacks]] per hour in 2015, opened the [[Traffic in GI-Land (Pacifica)|Atlantic Strait Tunnel]] at the start of 2014, decided on new high-speed railroad tracks, finished the move of the capital of GI-Land from [[Gianlucastadt (Pacifica)|Gianlucastadt]] to [[Atlantis (City) (Pacifica)|Atlantis]] and elevated [[Wikipedia:esports|esports]] to their current status as [[Sports in GI-Land (Pacifica)|"sports-like activity"]]. The chancellor furthermore attended the conference to establish the [[World Forum (Pacifica)|World Forum]] in the beginning of 2017.

Schmidt announced in December 2016 he won't run for chancellery again. Media reports suggesting that this decision was made based on health related questions were left unanswered. Political experts think, he stepped back due to his age and the strong mistrust in his person especially by Atlantic voters.

The SDP proclaimed later they will not aim to get into another coalition with the social liberals, reasoning that SLP denied motions regarding a reform of the [[Education in GI-Land (Pacifica)|educational system of GI-Land]] and are the main reason why the minimum wage was set as low as it was in 2015.

In April 2017 former king of Atlantis, Ikaros VIII, announced his nomination for chancellery to the media. His party, who was only ever part of state elections up until then, declared themselves as the enemies of the strongly nationalistic AVP, since they "don't carry the Atlantic spirit". Their goal was to prevent AVP from joining parliament again and to possibly install Ikaros as new first or vice chancellor of GI-Land. This shall reach that the Atlantic voices, that they felt have gotten supressed under the rule of Schmidt, get heard better in the royal palace again. After this announcement support for AVP dropped steadily until the election.-->

The governing SLP was clearly voted out by a swing of over 10%. Reasons for that are numerous: Kirchmann, a calm yet respected chancellor, has died and the SLP candidate ought to succeed him was the unpopular choice. The program of the Social Liberals was very inoffensive and did not provide any vision or unique ideas in comparison to the Greens or to the KPHA for example. Also there are still voters, who took offense by the party taking over the [[PPG (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|PPG]] and [[SDP (GI-Land) (Pacifica)|SDP]] and thus boycotted the party, even if they liked their program or candidate.

The Greens profited of the [[Wikipedia:Fridays for Future|''Students for Climate'']] movement, that started in March 2019. Also many women have voted for the party due to the significant chance of Sanddorn becoming chancellor, especially after King and Leader [[Gianluca IV (Pacifica)|Gianluca IV]] has denied her the promotion to that office after Kirchmann's death.

Elected Chancellor

Marja Sanddorn
Green

On 5 September 2021 the 18th Gianlucian federal election was held to distribute all of the 450 seats in the 3rd Königspalast. It was the third federal election since the Incorporation of Atlantis in 2011.


Date

According to the Constitution of Gianatla the federal elections shall be held on a Sunday 45-50 months after the most recent federal election took place. Since the federal elections in 2017 have been done on the 10 September 2017, this meant the earliest election day could have been the 13 June 2021 while the latest date could have been the 14 November 2021.

On 31 January 2021 King and Leader Gianluca IV scheduled the election on 5 September 2021.[4]

Electoral System

Main article: PMMP (Pacifica)

Just like in 2017, the Preferential Mixed-Member Proportional-system was used for the election.
In PMMP every voter has two votes. The first vote goes to exactly one party. The party with the most first votes gets distributed the most seats in parliament, the party with the second most first votes the second most seats, etc. Parties that haven't overcome a 5%-threshold were - once again - not granted any seats in parliament.
The second vote goes to one or several individuals that run for parliament in the constituency. When voting for several people, a clear ranking has to be made, because even if a politician has a simple majority in the constituency it won't be necessarily enough to join parliament. In that case the vote counters will recount all votes for a certain candidate and take a closer look at the voters' second preference and whether they can join the parliament for their party or not. This process continues until all of the 450 seats of the Königspalast are filled.

Opinion Polling

Königspalast Opinion Polls between 2017 and 2021

Results

The governing SLP was clearly voted out by a swing of over 10%. Reasons for that are numerous: Kirchmann, a calm yet respected chancellor, has died and the SLP candidate ought to succeed him was the unpopular choice. The program of the Social Liberals was very inoffensive and did not provide any vision or unique ideas in comparison to the Greens or to the KPHA for example. Also there are still voters, who took offense by the party taking over the PPG and SDP and thus boycotted the party, even if they liked their program or candidate.

The Greens profited of the Students for Climate movement, that started in March 2019. Also many women have voted for the party due to the significant chance of Sanddorn becoming chancellor, especially after King and Leader Gianluca IV has denied her the promotion to that office after Kirchmann's death.

The KPHA manifested itself as the new conservative party in the Gianlucian political spectrum, once again reaching their goal of keeping the AVP out of parliament.

The FPG was able to win over former liberal voters from the SLP and PPG and thus reintroduced themselves into the parliament.

The 6.5% of the vote that went to the parties not being able to overcome the threshold got equally divided among the parties having reached the threshold. This is the reason why the parties, who overcame the threshold have de facto a higher percentage of seats in the Königspalast than the popular vote would normally allow them to have.

Constitution of the 3rd Königspalast and Government formation

The opening session of the 3rd Königspalast was on 26 October 2021. On that day the parliament decided on its presidium. Traditionally the party with the most seats - in this case the Greens - gets the right to propose a candidate to be the speaker of the Königspalast. Sabine Meischel was chosen to be the house's speaker. She received 360 yes-, 44 no- and 46 abstention-votes.

The other parliamentary groups may get represented by one vice-president each in the presidium too.

  • The SLP group gets represented by former Königspalast speaker, Dr. Frank Carlos, who got approved in the first ballot with a vote of 270-180-0.
  • The KPHA group is represented again by Prince Triton of Atlantis, who got approved in the first ballot with a vote of 339-66-45.
  • The FPG group is represented by their head of the party Nicole Klacena, who got approved in the first ballot with a vote of 277-103-70.
  • The Left group gets representation again by Lara Yt, who got approved in the first ballot with a vote of 239-178-33.

This time the constitution of the parliament was preceded by the coalition talks. The Greens have talked with both, the KPHA and the SLP, however negotiations went slowly. Sanddorn eventually criticised her potential partners, saying: "At the moment the talks are somewhat stuck, because the Social Liberals are too busy with collecting themselves and the KPHA wants us to moderate too much, when it comes to saving our basis of existence"[5]. A theoretical coalition between the SLP, KPHA and FPG was outruled by FPG-head Klacena and former WF-speaker Strunk.
On 25 October 2021 a de facto continuation of the green-liberal coalition formed by the Greens and the SLP was declared. Following goals were set in the coalition treaty for the legislature 2021-2025:[6]

  • Putting Gianatla on route to climate neutrality until 2040
  • Developing concepts for an UBI, a new school system and a potential tax reform.
  • Closing Gianatla's three least used airports
  • Continuing nuclear disarmament, but also modernising the Bundesarmee's equipment
  • Facilitating access to digital government services
  • Redistribution of research funds towards mRNA-vaccinations, future mobility technologies (e.g. Hyperloop), production of climate-neutral kerosine and more
  • Finalisation of the security agreement with the Frost Empire, Sedunn, Snolland and Anserisa
  • Start and finalisation of (free) trade talks with Voodoo People's Republic of Bruuma, the Frost Empire and the USI
  • Reform of the pension system
  • Introduction of state reforms following the 2021 Gianlucian citizens' assembly

Notes

  1. ↑ The Social Liberal Party has incorporated the Social Democrats[1] and the Pirate Party[2] of Gianatla in early 2020. Many members, including the former heads of the party, Chulz and Strabinger became members of the SLP and represented them in the 2021 election.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 The seat change refers to the number of lost or gained seats, if the former Königspalast would have also had 450 seats. In that case the SLP would have had 166 seats, the Greens 58 seats, the KPHA 39 seats and the LGI 30 seats. The rest of the 450 seats would have fallen to the SDP and PPG, which were not eligible in this election.
  3. ↑ Although Kirchmann has died on 11 July 2021 and a provisional government lead by Gianluca IV has followed, Kirchmann was still legally considered to be the last chancellor of Gianatla until a new one was elected.
