Leagioan 2020 Elections (EU Councilor & National Congress)
-
Three More States Call-In, One Unaccounted For!
The results from the States of Muale, Gopen, and Condris have just come. These results still show a decent contention between Marie and Francis in this race, but whoever is in first place does not matter much in this round. Remember, this race is important for the top two candidates meaning this race is important for both first and second places. Whoever is in the top two in terms of the popular vote will be the wons that will win this round and then fight on to the second round of the election. There is still left the Federal State of Tullion that has been unaccounted for. There is a chance that anyone of these candidates will suddenly get a huge lead in end of this round.

Tullion Calls-In At Last: Leagio Prepares for Round 2
At long last, Tullion called in on the results. Now, the Commonwealth now knows who will be going to round 2 of the EU Councilor Election and having to fight through the Popular Electoral College. The two candidates that have won are.....Francis Plessis of the Civil Populist Party (with 3,195,137 votes or 33.03% of the total votes) and Marie-Laure Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance Party (with 3,119,990 votes or 32.25% of the total votes). With 9,674,407 votes counted in this race, which equalates to a 78.4% percent turnout in this round. This election could be debated as being one of the tightest races in the history of the Commonwealth.

EU Councilor Election Debate in Dilaton University (Part 1)
Announcer: Good evening everyone and welcome to the 2020 EU Councilor debate held here in the Speaking Hall of Dilaton University within the State of Condris. Here inside this debate, we have the two candidates for the Electoral College Round of this race. The Incumbent EU Councilor Francis Plessis of the Civil Populists as well as the Eurogroup called European Liberal Democrats. His challenger is Marie-Laure Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance. Here the candidates will be asked questions and then they will answer them, where then the other candidate will not only provide their answer but also rebute their challenger in this debate. New stations may be allowed to ask questions but the first three questions will be from the announcer; questions that were the top ones submitted by the people to the Speaking Hall. Now, by virtue of a cointoss, we will start with Francis Plessis. Mr. Plessis, first question, you are a member of the EDLR (European Liberal Democrats) and there are claims, especially from the Spanish, that the Eurogroup you are a part of is controlled by Councilor Van Allen with tight strings. Is that true and does it affect your ability to serve the people of the Commonwealth as a Councilor in the EU Council?
FP: Although, Mr. Van Allen has this attitude or impression that the other members within the Eurogroup are puppets. I would like to deny that Councilor from Reitzmag has a strong authority within the party, just like the European Progressive Alliance. Every member has the ability to be free and independent as they wish with the support of the other members within the Eurogroup; which ensures that I am able to act without issues or interruption with my duties as the EU Councilor for Leagio.
Announcer: Miss Lahaye, would you like to say anything about that?
MLL: Yes, I would. Councilor Plessis, you talk about free and independence within the party. If that is the case there, then why did you not issue opposition to Councilor Van Allen's election about a month ago that lasted 4 days. An Election that lasted for four days where the people of Reitzmag has to decide who to elect to the EU Council. Many people within the EU community issued opinions and complaints about the fact that within this election in Reitzmag that there was hardly any time for any opposition to form up against Van Allen in that election. You once said that the EDLR is a group of liberty and independence. I can hardly see that when you kept silent when the leader of the EDLR held himself an election that hardly gave enough time for Van Allen to sit on the toilet and wait out for the results. No campaigning or anything of that sort was done for Van Allen to win. He won because of a broken law in the Kingdom of Reitzmag.
Announcer: Alright, Miss Lahaye, it is your turn to answer a question. After the recent Romain incident, where a UNSR cargoship managed to sneak into the Commonwealth and try to smuggle Nuclear Material back to the UNSR. What do you intend to do to prevent this situation through the EU Councilor, if you are elected?
MLL: I would introduce legislation that would give the ENAA the authority to regulate the transportation of Nuclear Material overseas. We need to give the ENAA to better powers ensure that the nuclear material that is shipped out of countries like Leagio are not falling into the wrong hands. The Commonwealth cannot afford to be in trouble if anyn nuclear material goes to a country not authroized by the ENAA to build nukes at limitless numbers.
FP: I would like to comment on the issue. The issue of Nuclear Material is not one that requires EU legislation to fix but is a national issue to the Commonwealth. The President and the National Congress has already resolved the issue with the passage and signing of the Nuclear Regulation Act, which forms the now open Nuclear Trade Commision (NTC).
Announcer: Next question, Councilor Plessis, if you are re-elected, what are your plans for the EU Council?
FP: If i am re-elected, then i will issue a series of legislation that prompt economic growth and expansion within the lowest GDP countries within the EU Community. Originally, i was going to campaign for a European Health Organization to deal with health crises. But thankfully, the Speaker of the Council from Inquista had been able to successful build-up such legislation recently. In addition, one of the things that I am doing now is providing additional funding to various programs of the EU, including the Health Insurance Card Program.
Announcer: Miss. Lahaye, would you like to respond to his response?
MLL: Yes, while that is good Councilor Plessis. But what about worker's rights? What do you intend to do about the right for a worker in a European Union to be in a labor union? This is not a right guaranteed in the European Union constitution but is a right in the recent Leagioan Constitution. A worker in the European Union in any other country, besides Leagio, does not have the right to be in a union. If i am elected, i will amend the EU Constitution to provide equality to labor unions and then what about the environment. In the debate for the Ocean Protection Act, an act that you vote for, you toldthe Speaker cllr. Firoux, this 'If this act is passed, then Leagio would most likely be in serious economic trouble as that means that we will not conduct any commercial business with the EU. In order to ensure that we don't harm the eco life that would be protected by this bill, we would have to call for the expansion of the Arlick Corridor in order to be economically stable and adherent to the bill.' These words are your own in that debate....I cannot help but say that you were trying to overstate the problem with this act as it did not affect the Commonwealth at all as you thought. And you knew that because you voted for that bill, which proves that you knew that but wanted to try and derail the legislation. The only reason why you approved the act was to help in the polls for a few points.
Announcer: Councilor, would you like to comment?
FP: That is false facts coming from the Progressive Candidate. the reason why i was intially against the against was because i thought that it was too demanding for a country like Leagio. But the Speaker had reassured me that it was not the case.
Announcer: We will be back after these messages, where members of the press will ask the questions to the candidates.

EU Councilor Election Debate in Dilaton University (Part 2)
Announcer: Welcome to the EU Councilor Election Debate here in the Dilaton University Speaking Hall. We have the electoral college candidates here, Francis Plessis of the Civil Populists and Marie-Laure Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance in the debate. Earlier, they answered some of the top questions that were submitted by the people of the Commonwealth for the debate. Now, we will allow the members of the press to ask the candidates questions. These questions must not be aggressive nor inappropriate to the debate. The candidate will respond to the question and their opponent may provide their own input. We will start with Leagioan Daily News (LDN).
DLN: Miss. Lahaye, is there anything good that you could say about Councilor Plessis?
MLL: He doesn't quit. One thing that is great about him is that he always fights like a wolf in the field of politics.
Announcer: Next, we have Palico News.
PN: Councilor Plessis, could you explain about the discussion that is occuring within the EU Council on reforming the representation of council to be proportional? And how does that type of reformation benefit Leagio?
FP: I was wondering if that was going to be mentioned. Now, initially i was in favor of such a move for the Council. But i wanted to decided and figure out what the benefits to a proportionally represented EU Council will mean for the Commonwealth. After having a discussion with experts in Leagioan politics, i think that the method that Councilor Van Allen wants is not something that will mean well for the Commonwealth. The problem is that nations like the Durxian Union have the largest populations in the EU Community, which would give them the most votes in the Council. Now, i had the honor to meet the Counilor representing said nation and even he is not even favor of it from what i had understood.
MLL: I would agree with Councilor Plessis on the issue. This type of Representation might sound nice and all, but it does not equal to good equality for the Commonwealth in EU Council.
Announcer: Now, the Leagioan Broadcasting Company will present their question.
LBC: Councilor Plessis, the European Court of Justice is as i hear many other Councilors from the EU Council lacking in powers to enforce law and order. What do you intend to do about it? We know that you tried to implement a war crime act for that problem, but you had withdrawn it due to the many problems that other Councilor's had with it.
FP: I am glad that you asked me that. Right now, i am currently in the works of drafting a new law similar to the one i had introduced but with many improvements along with other provisions. This is a bill that i am writing with Councilors from various countries such as Fremet for example.
Announcer: That is all in the debate, the Electoral Election will be taking place on August 30th.

New Polls Come Out On Who Is Winning The Race
Recently after the EU Councilor Election Debate held in Dilaton University Speaking Hall, the polls were released in showing that as of this moment, Marie Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance is in the lead at the moment with a 3.79% margin of error in the current numbers. In another poll taken recently, it was shown that many Leagioans believe that Lahaye had won the debate. This is a blow to the incumbent Councilor Francis Plessis, who must win the election through the Popular Electoral College in order to keep his position for the next year. If the Incumbent intends to be aggressive in his campaign then now would be best for him as the Electoral Election begins on August 30th with the results being announced the next day. In addition, early voting in person and in-mail will begin on August 20th -
Distribution of House of Councilors Seats Released and How They're Elected in Each Province
Finally, after months from the distribution of seats for the House of Councilors in the National Congress has been announced. The method on which people are elected to the House of Councilors is decided by the State and Territories through their own legislatures. The methods that the provinces can choose from range from First-Past-The-Post all the way to Party-List Proportional Voting. In this map, some of the States have decided to divide their seats into multi-member districts, which is allowed by the Consitution as there is no rule against it all. The polls for the major parties that have a chance to gain a seat in the National Congress will be released soon, but one thing is for sure about that and that is that the Social Democratic Party will most likely be not able to run in this election as their own membership is declining at high levels. -
The Results of Electoral Round for the 2020 EU Councilor Election Coming In 2 hours.
This race for the EU Councilor has been fierce and long for over two months, two candidates have been competing for the spot to be for EU Councilor for Next Year between September 2020 to September 2021. After the first round last month, the top two candidates have been in a race to win this election. The top two candidates for this race are the Incumbent Francis Plessis of the Civil Populist Party as well as the ELDR and Marie Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance Party. A few weeks ago, many people felt that Lahaye won in the Councilor debate against Plessis. Plessis was campaigning on a platform of a strong stance against the UNSR and passing legislation that would prevent them from secretly smuggling nuclear material. Lahaye campaign on working to get progressive policies of equality and accountability to EU nations. In the polls that have been focusing on them for some time since the start of this race, it is shown that it is possible that this race could go either way. At the start of this final round, Lahaye had a strong lead against Plessis in the polls but that lead has shrunken to where either candidate is leading; this may indicate that the final round will be close at the end with either candidate have a lead in getting the 177 electoral votes needed to win the electoral college round.
Although, some pundits have an idea on the path of the smaller states and territories. The areas that everyone is looking at is Huttson, Tullion, Diamond Heart, Arlick where there are 153 of the 353 electoral votes that the candidates need to win. The results in the election will start to be released by the end of August 30th which will be in less than two hours. In addition, as the final votes are being submitted and counted, the elections for the RU Premier Commissioner and Internal Affairs Commissioner are also being submitted but the votes for those races will continue up to September 2nd. The candidates for these races do not need to win in the Popular Electoral College, but instead, they need to win the Leagioan vote through a popular election through the guidelines of the European Union Constitution.
As a reminder in how the Leagioan Electoral College works, each state and territory in the Commonwealth is given a number of votes that is equal to how many many Councillors and Senators that they have in the National Congress. The votes are distributed by how many votes that each candidate has in each state and territory. So for example, if EU Councillor Plessis and Lahaye get 50% of the popular in Muale with its 22 electoral votes then they each would get 11 electoral votes. Soon, the Commonwealth of Leagio and the European Union will see how this race will go.

The First Three Provinces Are In with An Electoral Tie So Far
Not long past 12am, the first three provinces within the Commonwealth released their results to the public. The Territories of Vernach, Sule, and Fiowa have announced how many Electoral Votes that each candidate gets. In Fiowa, Plessis managed to beat Lahaye by getting 3 more votes than her by getting 8 of its 13 electoral votes. However, that victory was short-lived as Lahaye managed to catch by leading in both Sule and Vernach. In Sule, a territory that has one of the smallest numbers of registered voters, Lahaye gote one more electoral vote than the incumbent EU Councillor. This area is one that is considered by many Leagioan politicians as Progressive territory. Meanwhile, in Vernach, Lahaye beat Plessis thereby getting 8 of its 14 electoral votes. In the popular vote of that province, she had a 17 point lead against Plessis.
However, there seems to be a level of uncertain that must definitely be rising inside of both candidates because as of this moment, both candidates are currently in a tie with each having 21 Electoral Votes. Even though, Marie Lahaye has a 40,000 vote lead in the popular vote against Plessis. However, these numbers will without any doubt change as the night progresses because there will be a candidate that will get 177 of the 353 electoral votes and it is possible that will be seen when big population states submit their votes in this race. Right now, some of the states and territories still have the polling booths open with the remaining people in line waiting to vote. By Leagioan Law, as long as you are in line at the booth then you will have your chance to submit your vote. Some other provinces are just at this point counting the mail-in ballots at this point and will soon submit their votes to the Popular Electoral College as well.
-
Muale and Niose Have Submitted Their Votes
Just four minutes ago, the state of Muale, a province that was granted statehood by the National Congress about a month, has become the first state in this election to submit their votes to this race. In addition, the territory of Niose has submitted its votes. In Muale, the incumbent Councilor Plessis has dominated in gaining its Electoral votes. He beat Lahaye in the popular vote by double digits, where he gains a healthy lead of 13 of its 22 electoral votes. You can literally his lead thereby seeing the number of counties that the Councilor had a majority in against Lahaye. In Niose, the Incumbent has somewhat a similar lead there that he has in Muale with a 17 point lead there. Francis Plessis gets 9 of Niose's 15 Electoral Votes, while Lahaye get 6.
As one can see here at this moment, in this election, Francis Plessis has a lead against Marie Lahaye. Plessis is at 43 Electoral Votes, while Lahaye has 36. Although, the popular vote in this election is more close with Councillor Plessis having only a one and thirty-five hundred thousand lead against Lahaye which makes a 7 point lead. But what matters in this race is that the candidate wins the needed simple majority of 177 electoral votes and no third candidates can get them. the reason is that in this round, only the top two candidates in the race back in July gets electoral votes.
-
Here Comes More Being Submitted To This Race
Just a few minutes ago, the territories of Loors and Karptniz have submitted their votes to this race for EU Councillor. The race in Karptniz is a tie in terms of the Electoral Vote as it seems that the two candidates both get 6 of the 12 electoral votes that the province has. Meanwhile, inside the developing territory of Loors, Francis Plessis gets another lead against Marie Lahaye as the incumbent EU Councillor get 9 of the 15 Electoral Votes to his name. From the looks of this race so far, Lahaye is having problems just even trying to catch up to Francis Plessis as there are times where her chance to catch up is meet with a tie in Electoral votes.
Right now, it seems that Francis Plessis as mentioned earlier is in the lead with the Electoral College. The incumbent EU Councillor for Leagio has 58 Electoral Votes to his name while Marie Lahaye has only 49 electoral votes to her own. In addition, while looking at the popular vote, Francis Plessis is still having that popular vote gain with a lead of two hundred thousand votes or an almost 9 point lead against the Progressive Candidate.
-
More States Submit More Votes
The states of Jullien, Gopen, and Condris have just submitted their votes, which has suddenly norrawed the election to where the two candidates have a tie in the Electoral College. Jullien showed to be a state that felt that Lahaye should get most of theirn electoral votes as she gets 16 of its 25 votes. In Gopen, the home state of Senator Kerstin (who is running for Primer Commissioner for the European Union), Marie gets 14 of its 25 electoral votes, while Francis Plessis gets only 11. Then there is Condris, what was formerly known a Tullion before the ratification of the Commonwealth's new constitution about a few months ago, the two candidates are somewhat close but Francis Plessis gets 15 of its 29 electoral vote but Lahaye is only one vote behind in that state with 14.
This race is now starting to get a little tense as both Marie Lahaye of the Progressive Alliance and Francis Plessis of the Civil Populists have 93 electoral votes. In this race, we have so far a tie happening a second time but it will change for sure as more provinces submit their votes. Lahaye lead will definitely change as she only has in the popular vote a 20,000 vote lead. A lead that will either go up, down, or switch towards Francis Plessis.
-
What Is Going On?
Now, the State of Diamond Heart (The Debatedly Most Conservative State in the Commonwealth) and the Territory of Wilson (which was established after Muale was granted statehood but had to lose its northern counties at the time) submitted their votes for this race. Diamond Heart has seem to face another tie issue with the two candidates with its electoral votes as both candidates get 17 of its 34 electoral votes; even though, Lahaye has a lead by 2 points in the popular vote in the conservative state but its not enough to get an extra point in an electoral lead there. Meanwhile, Wilson becomes the last territory needing to submit a vote as it gives Francis Plessis a huge lead in the electoral divide as he gets 10 of its 14 electoral votes.
In total, this race is starting to become more sweaty for the candidates because the issues is not a tie in total electoral vote because it is a more bigger issues than that for candidate that has that. Because Francis Plessis is winning with 120 Electoral Votes over Lahaye's 114, but Lahaye is winning in the popular vote with a 200,000 vote lead that is becoming a rare occasion to happen in races like this. However, in this race, the numbers that count is the electoral count, a winning candidate must have a simple majority in the electoral college with the magic number being 177 votes. If Francis Plessis wants to have a strong mandate in his re-election than he needs to win in both the electoral college and the popular vote.
-
Francis Wins Re-Election
Just now the states of Huttson, Tullion, and Arlick released their votes with Francis Plessis have a hold against Lahaye. In Huttson, Plessis gained traction by getting 26 of 44 electoral votes, while Lahaye got 18. In the State of Tullion, Plessis got 23 of it 37 electoral votes while Lahaye got only 14 as she was hit hard in the popular vote within the state. In Arlick, the Incumbent Councillor got 20 of its 38 electoral while his challenger got only 18 just like Huttson.
When combing these electoral votes and the ones that were accidentally missing as the vote were being announced on the board, it can be announced that Francis Plessis won re-election by attaining the necessary electoral votes need to remain as EU Councillor for LEagio up until next September unless he decides to run for re-election again. In this race that occur, Francis Plessis got at the end about 189 electoral votes while Marie Lahaye just 13 votes short had 164 electoral votes. In the popular vote, Francis had done well after the initial scare with a lead of over 400,000 votes on his tally. Tomorrow, Francis Plessis will be giving a speech accepting the results of the election and on September 4th, he will reaffirm his oath of office as the EU Councilor for Leagio.

States and Territories Announce How Their Seats in the House of Councilors will be elected.

Many of the states and territories have divided their seats in the House of Councilors through two different categories as specified by the Constitution. The first category that each province dive their seats in is the Constituency Seat where candidates are elected through the First Past The Post method and then the second method is through Proportional Representation through the Modified Saint Legu method.

Decision 2020: National Congress
Good morning everyone, today is a big day for the Commonwealth of Leagio. In fact, the past few weeks have been big as the nation was holding its first legislative election after it joined the European Union earlier this year. Many changes have come upon the Commonwealth, including a lot of big moments that have been occurring under the watch of the current administration. Ever since it joined the European Union, the Commonwealth has seen the rise of violence and fear throughout the entire region which ranges from the Eastern Haane Civil War to the Capsian Sea Crisis as the Leagioan Press began to call it. Many polls have been showing for the past few months that the Progressive Allaince Party has a strong chance in being the winner of the election for both houses of the National Congress. However, we will see on whether or not that is true as the results come in. About a few minutes ago, the last of the polls for the National Congress election ended in all of the states and territories within the Commonwealth. Before we start talking about the current results, we must remind the readers on how the elections for both houses of the Nationa Congress work.
First, the House of Councilors, the lower house, of the National Congress is elected through parallel voting of first-past-the-post and proportional representation through the Saint Legue method without a percentage threshold. Each state and Territory of the Commonwealth is issued a number of seats of representation in the House that is proprotional to their population. The highest representation is in Huttson, which right now has 66 seats of representation in the House, and the lowest is Elsweyr with its 9 seats. All states and territories are required by the new 2020 Constitution of Leagio to divide their seats in the House for the two methods, where 40% of their seats are used for the first-past-the-post seats and the rest is used for the proprotional representation method called List Seats. The method of proprotional representation is applied within the state level, a vote for a list seat is used only in the seats for the voted state or territory. However, in order to be voted in for a list seat all political parties are required to register candidates for those seats. Each state and territory has different deadlines for those registration to run for those seats, where most parties have indeed registered for them. The only ones where there is some inconsistency is in the Common Nationalists, Christian Democratic-Republicans, and the Eastern Leagio Party. However, some have stated various reasons as to why. Like the Eastern Leagio Party that only runs for the Eastern Territoires or states that were territories in the east. There are 525 permant seats for the House, but through a recently passed amendment there are abraod seats that add an additional 16 seats for Leagioans that live outside of the Commonwealth. We will talk more about those seats when they come. In this election night, there are a total of 541 seats that the parties are competing for in this nation. These seats are up for election every two years. In order to have a majority a party needs to get no less than 271 seats of the 541 seats up for grabs.
Now, the Senate, the upper house of the National Congress, in terms of representation and how it is elected is different. The Senate under the previous Constitution was always completely elected every two years like the House, but under this Constitution that has change. A Senator is elected every four years but half of those Senators are up for election every two years. In the Senate for thise Constitution, there are two classes. The first class will be re-elected in 2024 and the second class will serve a special two-year term where they will be re-elected in 2022. The Senate will be elected through a Mulitple-Non Transferable Vote in each state and territory. A state gets 6 senators and a Territory gets 4 senators, while the abroad sector gets 4 but they are elected every two years. For this election, there are a total of 100 Senate seats up for election. When 2022 comes that number will be 50 exactly. In order for a party to have a majority in the Senate they need to get exactly no less than 51 seats or 50 in the case of the Civil Populist Party where the Governor-General has the power to break ties.
When results for the election is coming through, the parties will be labeled as the following:
-
SUP (Socialist Union Party)
-
GP (Green Party)
-
ELP (Eastern Leagio Party)
-
SDP (Social Democrat Party)
-
LPD (Leagioan Pact of Democracy)
-
PAP (Progressive Alliance Party)
-
CCP (Civil Populist Party)
-
CN (Common Nationalists)
-
CRP (Conservative Reformist Party)
-
CDR (Christian Democratic-Republicans)
-
LUTF (Leagio United Together Front)
Some of these parties have made legislative alliances and when the final results have been made then they will be shown.
Lastly, in this election, many political parties are holding their primary elections for their candidates that will run for the execution positions of President and Governor-General. The methods on the people vote their preferred candidates for a party varies but we will see who will being run for the 2021 Executive Elections that will be held in next March.

SUP - 15
GP - 7
ELP - 6
