Are we having election rolls every turn now?
As I understand it, we get politics rolls every turn for how well the parties are doing, but election rolls specifically are happening rn because we last had elections in 42AE and it's been 5 years, it's just that this happened to coincide with the end of the war. If we had kept fighting, apparently we would have had the choice of whether to run elections during the war or delay.

Technically speaking, the chance was for the government to call a snap election as they both wanted to cash in on winning the war and the knowledge that the economy was going to collapse in short order in the next year from the issues of wartime mobilization. This did not work out the best.

They fell in numbers this cycle? They lost like 18 seats to the BFP and PPP. Despite the massive advantages handed to them (the hated enemy reappering to reinforce all the racist prejudices of Mourans).
I meant the second election. And even still they are the 2nd biggest party even if barely. I won't be satisfied until they are at least less than 100 and ideally less than 50

The second election was, notably, five years ago and reflects extreme youth dissatisfaction (with half the population, "everyone born after the nuclear exchange," being 'youth' for this purpose) with an economy that effectively locked them out of worthwhile jobs due to extreme and rapid advances in automation.

I am cautiously optimistic that the actual fascists have peaked, because there are powerful old monster within the right wing who are actually hostile to them, whereas the usual fascist path to victory relies on co-opting other elements within the right and then sidelining them after seizing formal power.
