1931 Svetland Election

The 1931 Svetland Election was the first election in Svetland. It consisted of the three main parties, The Svetland United Party, the LeftSide Party, and the Reservation Party.



Leader Vote

In Svetland United, it was only really between two candidates for who would get the presidential ticket. Bill Clump, Mayor of Orige, and Samson H. Robinette, the Mayor of Coasas. By a 42% to 58% vote, Bill Clump won the ticket.

In the Reservation Party, Joe Poffin took a vote of confidence for himself going in to the election, and faced a 88% positive response. When the 18% were asked if they wanted a candidate vote, they unanimously declined.

Meanwhile in LeftSide, Ronny Burkin, MP of Jorvic, faced off against the MP of KentRose, Arlo Jones. It came down to 49.3% to 49.7%, but Ronny Burkin won.

Campaigning

Bill Clump's main campaign was that he would fight for more land for Svetland, promising at least 15 more states in his tenure. He was very convincing and seemingly smart.

Joe Poffin toured Svetland with his running mate Jamon Jorlingtoneonslingtongochgochgoch, and tried to make a positive impression. They wanted to reserve land peacefully, and not with force. He stated he promised at least 7 states, but these would be secured and in safe hands unlike Clump's.

Ronny Burkin was an outsider, as in he claimed he wanted no new states, but peace with the Natives. He wanted to make the country South Svetland, North owned by the Natives.

Results

Burkin claimed two states, Jorvic and KentRose. This amassed to 6 seats, which was nowhere near enough.

Bill Clump claimed Orige and Coasas, making up 31 seats.

Joe Poffin claimed Gaterson, Norfax, Soufax, Ecclestone, Hemlad, and Rockirom. This made up... 38 seats! Joe Poffin had won for the Reservation Party!

.....Or had he. Bill Clump ordered a revote of the extremely close vote in Ecclestone. By a 13 vote margin, Bill Clump had won Ecclestone, and went up to 41, seats enough to win the election.

END RESULT:

Burkin: 6

Poffin: 28

Clump: 41
