Parliament of Recommendations

[Drew]

Drewtopia's Inaugural Parliamentary Election

Methodology: I went back and looked at recommendations on the posts that I've made in the past year.  The poster with the greatest number of recommendations within their respective party was named that party's leader.  The tiebreaker for the aforementioned criteria was overall post count.  I went strictly by users' current avatar colors and did not take into account their actual ideology based on the content of their posts.

Summary of Results: Democrats fall just short of a majority and will form a coalition with the Socialists and Greens, forming a left of center governing coalition led by Prime Minister Secretary of State Liberal Hack.  The opposing coalition will be a center-right alliance between Republicans, Independents, and others, led by Opposition Leader Illiberal Progressive.

Drewtopia's Second Parliamentary Election

Methodology: I went back and looked at recommendations on the posts that I've made since the inaugural election a few months ago.  The poster with the greatest number of recommendations within their respective party was named that party's leader.  The tiebreaker for the aforementioned criteria was overall post count.  I went strictly by users' current avatar colors and did not take into account their actual ideology based on the content of their posts.

Summary of Results: The overall makeup of the House of Drew remains largely the same, with the main changes being in leadership roles.  Drewtopians For Progress, now led by Simple Union Jack (D-PEI), remains intact as the governing coalition, while A New Way For Drew, still led by Sun Belt Booster (fka Illiberal Progressive) (I-FL) continues to be relegated to the opposition.  Because the two parliaments resulted in a different number of seats, I expressed the seat changes as percentages.  Despite Democrats' continued frustrations of not getting a majority, their coalition remains intact after growing its overall share.  The left-of-center government likely takes a turn to the left with a few more socialists being elected.  The center-right ANWFD opposition experiences an influx of Republicans, though their share still trails that of Independents.  Libertarians gain a couple more members, while other opposition minor parties range from reduction (The O Bros and the AAA) to elimination (Constitution).
