The Chronicle of the Death of the Atlasian Right (VERY VERY VERY DEAD!)

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

To emphasize just how dead the Atlasian Right is, this post will provide an easy one stop shop to look at just how dead they have become. (Percentages below include abstentions and votes for joke candidates with no lower prefs from valid voters, and so may differ slightly from official certified percentages.)

October 19-21, 2018 (The moment of Death)

President: Weatherboy (Left) 51% ; North Carolina Yankee (Right) 49%

House: 5-4 Left; Highlight is Speaker Fhtagn losing her seat.

South: Despite having no announced opposition, Conservative Governor Tmthforu94 receives only 78% of the vote, with 9 votes being cast for write-in candidates or NOTA (5/9 were cast for leftist alternatives). The left captures a 3-2 majority in the legislature.

Fremont: Leftist Senator Canis was re-elected with 79% of the vote. Among the dissenting votes, only a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate. FM YE received a strong challenge, but was re-elected 51%-49%. The left earns a 3-2 majority in the legislature.

Lincoln: Leftist Zaybay was elected with 63%; his nearest challenger, Former Regional Speaker LouisvilleThunder, received just 29%. The left earned a unanimous 3-0 majority in the legislature. Governor ReaganClinton was endorsed by all parties and thus had no challenger; he was re-elected with 91% of the vote.

October 26-28, 2018 (The Death Continues)

Lincoln: Leftist candidate Lok wins a Senate Seat by 64%-36%.

November 30-December 2, 2018 (Still Dead)

Lincoln: Three candidates for 3 seats so irrevelant
South: 1 candidate ran unopposed so irrevelant
Fremont: Leftist candidate Pericles wins over quirky centrist Lumine 53%-47%. With candidates eliminated in earlier rounds also being from the left or center, not a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate.

December 14-16, 2018 (Even more Dead than Before)

House: Despite running six candidates, Federalists elected just three to the House. The Labor/Pax coalition captured a 5-3-1 majority, electing all the candidates that it ran. Alliance, a little-known Centrist Party, prevents the Feds from having a 4th seat. The count of 3 seats is a true embarrassment for the federalists given their currently aggressive work ethic.

Lincoln: This election truly showed that the Nov 30-Dec 2 Special only elected a majority of right-leaning candidates due to lack of interest. In this regular election, candidates from leftist parties captured 2 of the 3 seats, with the 3rd going to Alliance. Not a single federalist individual will be in the Assembly. In the Senate race, Liberal Maineiac defeated popular but right of center incumbent Governor ReaganClinton by a large margin of 58 to 42 percent.

South: While incumbent Conservative Senator North Carolina Yankee was not seriously challenged, opposition candidates did generate 22% of the vote, demonstrating that not even the right's most popular and well-known characters can win elections without notable dissent.

Fremont: Liberal Senator Sestak was solidly re-elected with 71% of the vote, despite having a strong conservative challenger.

December 21-23, 2018 (LOL)

Fremont: Little known write-in candidate RFA09, whose candidacy the left did not even appear to be aware of until after the polls opened, defeated rightist Koopa DaQuick by a comfortable margin of 56%-44% in a special parliamentary election.

January 4-6, 2019 (New Year, Still Dead):

Fremont: Leftist Galaxie wins a Fremont Parliament election overwhelmingly, receiving more than 70% of the vote.

-----------------

The Right momentarily came back during regional elections in January where they retook the Southern Chamber and got a notable minority in the Fremont Parliament. They took advantage of a perfect storm situation to snatch the presidency and technical house and senate majorities in February. But in April, they lost the Congress. And then....

---------------------

June 21-23, 2019 (Nope, the right is actually still dead):

President: Adam Griffin (Left) 51.5% ; Young Texan (Right) 48.5%

House: 5-4 Left

South: Senator Vern receives only 62% of the vote, with 18 votes being cast for write-in candidates or his opponent WB.

Fremont: Leftist Senator Ontario Progressive was re-elected with 63% of the vote.

Lincoln: Leftist tack50 was elected with 62%; his nearest challenger, incumbent Senator LouisvilleThunder, received just 35%. With the Special election, the left earned a temporary 6-3 supermajority in the legislature. An extremely controversial gun law which even many Lincoln leftists did not support ended 1 vote away from ratification.

----------

August 23-25, 2019 (Even Deader than before):


As per usual, history is repeating itself.

House: Despite running four candidates, Federalists elected just two to the House. The Labor/Pax coalition captured a 5-3-1 majority, electing all the candidates that it ran minus JGibson, who narrowly missed a seat in a last minute attempt for 6 Labor/Pax seats. The left only missed on a 6 member House supermajority because of an inefficient allocation of first preferences.

Poirot, a notorious independent perennial candidate, prevents the Feds from having a 3rd seat. The count of 2 seats is a true embarrassment for the federalists given their currently aggressive work ethic. The count of 2 seats is also the worst result of the Federalist party in over 4 years (since June 2015).

The Federalist/ACP coalition only gets 35% of the popular vote and 3 seats, even worse than in December 2018.

Lincoln: Left wing darling PyroTheFox crushes independent candidate Poirot by 70-30. On top of that, no write-in votes were cast for any conservative candidate. Combine that with the fact that the Lincoln Council only has one Federalist member left (thr33, a moderate Federalist) and it's easy to see how the Lincoln right is not just dead but also buried deep.

South: While incumbent centre-right Senator North Carolina Yankee was not seriously challenged, opposition candidates did generate 18% of the vote, demonstrating that not even the right's most popular and well-known characters (to the point of being endorsed by the Labor Party!) can win elections without notable dissent.

Fremont: Liberal Senator Devout Centrist was solidly re-elected with 63% of the vote, despite having a strong centrist challenger. Again no write ins for a conservative candidate.

--------

October 18-20, 2019 (What happened to the right?):

President: Griffin received approximately 60% of the vote in the first round, and two thirds of the vote in the hypothetical final round with AZ!!

House: Labor attained a proper six seat majority with several votes to spare!!!

Senate: Peanut crushed Poirot with ~75% of the vote. OnProg crushed Brugh with about two thirds of the vote. MOST AMAZINGLY, MB defeated DeadPrez in the South!!!

South Governor: In an upset, Leftist Leinad defeated Darling of the Right Muaddib

Lincoln Council: THE LEFTISTS GOT ALL THREE SEATS

Southern CoD: THE LEFT GOT A 3-2 MAJORITY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2017 THAT THEY HAVE HAD A CoD MAJORITY AND THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION!!!

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

OP updated following this weekend's election. In the only contested race (Fremont), not a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate and the remnants of the right found themselves rallying behind a quirky centrist in Lumine, who still lost by 6%.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Lumine is right wing lol

As Lumine is not an official member of a rightist Atlasian Party, he does not count as part of the Atlasian Right.

What about the "dead atlasian right" taking back the Lincoln Assembly even though it has a +30 lefty registration advantage?

3 candidates for 3 seats is a victory by default for those 3 candidates and so means nothing.

----------

Looking forward to the left retaining and possibly expanding their house majority later this month!

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Because I thought WB was capable of running an efficient presidency based on what I observed behind the scenes. Of course, debate hasn’t been substantive as I’d like. As for this election, both Pericles and Lumine have caused uproar in the past, but I do think Pericles will add debate and ideas to the Senate while Lumine seems focused on game reform, which doesn’t seem to be that high of a priority right now to the Senate. I will say I would have considered voting for Koppa had he been active in the debate and not dropped out but I don’t think he would have been active.

The House of Representatives is passing sweeping legislation that is pro-worker, pro-immigrant, and pro-Atlasian! We are currently amending the Constitution to make government work more efficiently. The Senate has likewise been drafting legislation. This has been a productive administration!

Ah yes! Prioritizing the passage amnesty for illegals surely satisfies the #Populist impulses of YE as well as "pro-worker" bills that do nothing to solve real problems in addition to attempting to amend the constitution to bypass the fair process for governing. Also, the Secretary of Internal Affairs remains unfilled and we have a president who spends more time posting memes on discord than governing. How wonderful indeed!

Nothing has gotten done in the Senate outside of the EFCA though in Sestak’s defense, I know he has A LOT on his plate. I don’t think the bill passed by the House is amnesty and I thought just requires a reason beyond being undocumented for deportation (hint: that means criminals can be deported).

Waiving the risk of deportation essentially assures a flood of illegal immigrants. The proper way to handle this is in a bill like we did with Come out of the Shadows, which was a bipartisan compromise. This bill in the House not only undercuts that, it undercuts future enforcement as well as to facilitate cyclical amnesty, because it creates the assumption that future populations of illegals will just be legalized in turn. That just extends the problem we already have.

Also this defeatist acceptance of inactivity, "well everyone else is inactive so there isn't anything I can do?" That's bullsh**t!!!

The President can write and introduce legislation. The President can give speeches advocating for said bills, The President can PM congress members to get them on board and to make sure they are paying attention. The President can call on the people to demand likewise of their members. We are slowly but surely slipping into the Afleitch situation and we have a different constitution that empowers the President to do just that.


Where is the daily updates of the Chambers? Where is the daily PMs to all of the members? 

There is always something you can do. You can light the desks and the chairs on fire, that will get people off their asses. Doing nothing, conceding to inactivity and bemoaning general inactivity to justify other inactivity is not the solution to our problems. IT IS THE PROBLEM!!!

The Weatherboy Administration has achieved several accomplishments:

- Firing Fhtagn
- Appointing Jimmy7812, Sestak, and Zaybay to the administration
- Appointed a new NSC filled with excellent Atlasians
- Fired Dereich and appointed Bacon King
- Expanded availability of classified material (a move that has succeeded in angering the right)
- Appointed an excellent new GM in Reactionary

While no legislation has yet been put into law, this is because the house and senate have been unable to come together on legislation - the president cannot sign legislation when there is no legislation to sign. However, the house has passed several bills and the senate has passed a single bill and is considering several more, and I believe as the end of the term nears they will find ways to come together on a few pieces of legislation so they have something to mutually tout on the campaign trail this month. That being said, regardless of the sluggishness of Congress, Weatherboy has been an amazing president.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

There is a huge list of things that the President can and should be doing, and it's painfully obvious he's made no effort to do so.

But I get it, it must be very hard to get to the work he's supposed to do here. It'd take too much time away from him posting dumb memes on discord.

Ultimately it is the responsibility of Congress to pass legislation not the President. Surely Weatherboy would support all of the legislation passed by our left-wing house, but unfortunately the senate has refused to act. This is the fault of the Senate, not of the President. Just as Presidents in the former united states could not force the Senate to be attentive to the will of the nation, Weatherboy cannot do so here. Of course there are "soft power" things you can do, which I imagine may be going on behind the scenes, away from the public boards and from lokcord. But ultimately it is the Senate's laziness that is most impacting this nation, not that of the President.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Updated OP. Leftist majority in the House, Senate, and Lincoln Assembly elected. Feds will have just 3 seats in the House, just 2 in the Senate, and 0 in the Lincoln Assembly. The sole good thing for feds was the reelection of Senator North Carolina Yankee, who was not seriously challenged, and even he watched nearly a quarter of the vote be cast for a leftist challenger who had little name recognition and little campaign presence - a stronger opponent could have done far more. The other two Senate races were solid wins for the left.

Truly, one can now see that the right is indeed Dead. Let's look forward to another amazing installment of the Weatherboy Presidency!!!!!!!!

Updated with RFA09's win in the fremont parliament election

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Alright, listen, Wulfric. Listen closely, I don't like repeating myself.

Your constant yappings about how the right is completely dead, how Labor is the ultimate party, how everything will be like this forever end right here, right now. The idea that any party will remain in power for eternity is foolish. A Fed could've just as easily said the same thing back in early to mid 2018 when Labor had no seats in either branch in Congress, and when Labor had little power in the regional governments. But Labor has arisen, as you can see. But Labor will lose its grace. It will fall. Enjoy your cocktails and power while you still have it. The fact that a race between a Fed and a Laborite in such a titanium L region in Fremont can be close is proof that y'all should move into panic mode ASAP. Because trust me, this "red wave" we're experiencing is a thin balloon rising and rising in the air, and it will pop. You better invest in some parachutes, because you're about to fall.

It was only close because it was a little-known write-in candidate, whose candidacy the left wasn't even aware of until voting had already begun. That they were able to scramble up the votes quite literally at the last minute for someone people didn't even know is really something. If Labor had a more high profile candidate, or potentially if RFA09 had simply declared his candidacy in advance, you would have lost by more. Also, 12 points is not really close.

It was a one vote difference. One vote. The only reason it was 12 points was because Fremont is an underpopulated desert. ANY VOTER COULD HAVE SAW THAT A LABORITE WAS RUNNING, and considering how Labor has put elections over legislation, they flocked to the polls and voted based on partisanship. There were only 3 votes before RFA declared, and all three were righties. RFA was going to win, because all hail Labor, Labor is the only thing that matters, party over people.

But, you're distracting from the main point. Labor has gotten very cocky, but this success will end. It has an expiration date. Brace yourselves, Labor will die, and the pendulum of partisan politics will keep swinging.

After transfer of votes, it was a FOUR VOTE DIFFERENCE (19-15) (not one).

Further, I disagree with the idea of placing the left's awareness of (and focus on) RFA09's candidacy at the very moment at which he voted. My thread on the candidacy was not created until hours later, and the first vote after his that mentioned him was cast hours later. Further, leftists at first resisted the idea by backing RoyCooper2020 as a first pref, then shifted gears. This is clear in the voting thread. Despite that, as your post hints, Labor wins regardless of whether you use FPTP or RCV to decide the election. This was a real last minute effort, and it was amazingly successful, and the right remains dead.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Okay, I'm done dealing with you. Clearly, you aren't willing to accept evidence and reason. And even if I am cocky, Labor Leaders are clearly not, because we keep winning.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Bumped after Galaxie's overwhelming victory in the Fremont Parliament Election.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

How do the January regional elections factor into this?

In the south TM won by a slightly smaller margin than before, with more protest votes; but the Feds got back control of the Chamber of Delegates (3-2)

Meanwhile in Fremont while Scott ran unopposed and the left does hold a 4-2-1 majority as of now I think.

Given the Decent or better results for Feds in these elections, I decided not to include them for this.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

With the outcome of the elections, the right has returned to life.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Inb4 the left is dead.

This thread was, is, and always will be stupid.

Can't wait for Wulfric to become a Fed hack in June when FairBol primaries Tmth and wins the GE.

Nope, I'm a Laborite through and through, as you can see on my house ballot. It's just that I didn't sign an oath to the Peace Party, so when the leftists are running a Peace Ticket as the main show, I feel free to vote my conscience, whatever that may be.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Bumping this as it's very clear that Jan 2019 was a dead cat bounce for the right and Feb 2019 was a perfect storm. Apr, Jun, Aug, and Oct 2019 were each excellent elections for the LEFT.

WHEN OFFICEHOLDERS SWEAR IN ON NOV. 1, THE NUMBER OF RIGHTISTS IN OFFICE WILL BE VERY SMALL:

Yankee (Senate), Fhtagn (House), RC (House), LT (House), Muaddib (CoD) , Reagente (CoD).

YEP, JUST SIX CONSERVATIVES LEFT.

THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY NOW

THE RIGHT REALLY IS DEAD

(OP is fully updated)

MOURN THE RIGHT HERE.
