==Forming a Government== | |||
Duronis II is divided into provinces. Each province is divided into electoral areas. Each electoral area = 1 seat in Parliament. (There are 700 electoral areas) | |||
The Laudean with the most votes in a political area will win that seat in parliament. | |||
It is therefore possible for a party to have 50% of the planetwide vote but only 10% of the parliamentary seats –either because all their voters may live in one area or because their voters are spead too thinly across the planet! | |||
The Laudean Parliament has 700 seats in it. | |||
To form a government you must win 301 seats. | |||
If you form a government with 301 seats you will be a minority government (as the opposition have more seats) and it will be hard to pass any legislation. | |||
Political parties may form coaltions. The coalition with the most seat will form the government. | |||
The leader of the political party with the most seats is the Planetwide leader. Prime Minister. | |||
NB: Provincial governments still wield a lot of power. | |||

//With 50% of the vote now in, its a near neck and neck race to the finish. If something doesn't break lose soon, none of the parties will have the 246 seats out of 501 in parliament to have a majority and form a government. WE urge you to get out and vote or the parties may have to form coalitions after elections to form a government. | |||
Paetra Zrong representing the Popularist Party - 37,249 votes | |||
Zeon Zrong representing the Neo-Modernist Party - 36,438 votes | |||
Ahishma Chandra representing the Naturalists - 35,143 votes | |||
Oluwa Dela OKande representing the Royalists - 35,101 votes | |||
Benu Hashiwa representing the Traditionalists - 34,928 votes// | |||
Rocar: oO Of course if the votes were spread out over the planet and the seats come from each province that means very little. The tradionalists could have 20% of the vote but still only hold 10% of the seats in parliament as they would not of won any electoral areas outrightOo | |||
Rocar: Computer convert votes per location and tell me the number of seats each party has in the new parliament on Duronis II | |||
Computer: | |||
Popularist Party 261 | |||
Neo-Modernist Party 256 | |||
Naturalists 92 | |||
Royalists 36 seats | |||
Traditionalists 55 seats | |||

Rocar: oO You need 301 seats in parliament to form a government and even then if you had only 301 seats you’d still be a minority government…. Either Zrong can still form a government if they get the other parties to join them in coalition –or perhaps they will form a coalition together. Oo | |||
