##Peruvian General Elections, 2021

Format

Both the directly elected President of Peru and the unicameral Congress of Peru are up for election. The President is elected in a two round system. If no candidate secures a majority in the first round, then the top two candidates proceed to the next round. Re-elections are allowed, but no consecutive terms may be served. The Congress is elected by party list proportional representation in each multi-member constituency, with a 5% threshold. The first round and congressional elections are scheduled for March 15th, the second round is scheduled for April 15th.

###The Presidential Candidates

Kenji Fujimori

Hoisting the orange banner of Fujimorism from his older sister, Keiko, and his father, Alberto, comes youngest son Kenji. With his father imprisoned for life for human rights violations, and his sister serving a ten year term for embezzlement, the current MC has become the leader of the Fujimorista’s almost by default. Fujimorism as an ideology is related to Third Alternative politics, espousing Peruvian nationalism, a strong presidential figure, rejection of international organizations, neoliberal economic reforms, the militarization of the state and has broad populist overtures. One major split in the ideology is over trade. Keiko Fujimori’s Popular Force espouses economic nationalism bullish on tariffs, while Kenji Fujimori’s Vengadores are generally pro-trade. Despite this split, Fujimoristas across Peru have rallied around Kenji, hoping that he can lead the embattled ideology to victory once again.

Carlos Augusto Oliva Neyra

Minister of the Economy in current president Martín Vizcarra’s cabinet, Neyra hopes to capitalize on Vizcarra’s popularity. He has been nominated by a broad coalition of centre-right to right-wing parties and interest groups. His popularity is dampened by his connections to the scandal-wracked Catholic Church, and his implementation of the severe austerity of the 2018-2020 budgets, which critics allege hurt working-class Peruvians most of all by stripping all but the bare minimum of public services. Undeterred, Neyra has pledged to strengthen relations with regional and global organizations, increase trade, and cut taxes on working to middle class Peruvians. He has also pledged to increase already substantial investment in rural Peru. In part to appeal to his base of conservative voters, he has pledged to return Peru to ‘traditional values’ and stop ‘urban do

Here is an effortpost I did so you can be informed:

TLDR for dumb Muricans:

We elect president and parliament today.

The parties:

GERB -Your average Right-wing populist corrupt party. Very shitty, but at least it's pro-EU.

PP - Pretty based new trendy liberal party, the best party that has a chance of winning.

BSP - Cringe former commies. Today they are socialist conservatives.

DPS - cringe and incredibly corrupt turkish minority party that would have been declared unconstitutional if not for one judge being sick. Like to pose as woke libs in EU parliament, really aren't.

DB - unfathomably based coalition of moderate conservatives, neoliberals and greens.

ISMV - see my post, too long to explain

V - fascists

The presidential candidates:

Rumen Radev (BSP, ITN, ISMV, PP) - Kinda succ centrist. He's ok.

Anastas Gerdzhikov (GERB) - He's like his party, but slightly more refined, because he's a university professor.

Mustafa Karadyi (DPS) - A embodiement of his party, first ethnic Turk to be a candidate for president.

Lozan Panov (DB) - He's average, very gaffe-prone and not liked by most DB voters.

Ok, so is there any coverage in English?

No, fuck you, I'm your only source, media monopoly go brrrr.

Though I have semi-legal acess to early exitpolls.

Additionally the EEpolls and politics bulgaria twitter accounts provide pretty good coverage. The former for a lot of memes, the latter for serious stuff.

I highly recommend you read the whole post though, I intentionally oversimplified and dumbed it up here.

Yesterday, September 25th 2021, Icelanders went to the polls for the general election to Alþing, the parliament of the republic of Iceland.

The polls closed 22:00UTC, and first numbers arrived about ten minutes later.

The Alþing ("all Assembly") is often claimed to be one of the oldest still operating parliaments in the world, having served continuously in some capacity (save a 44-year stint where it was disbanded by the Danish Monarch) since the founding of the Icelandic commonwealth in 930. Alþing is a unicameral legislature consisting of 63 members elected by closed list proportional elections. The country is split in to six constituencies that elect between 8 and 13 representatives roughly according to population, plus 1 or 2 equalization seats each that are distributed to parties that reach a 5% threshold nationwide. The Alþing is voted to 4-year terms.

The last general elections were held on the 28th October 2017. Turnout was 81.2%. After strained government negotiations a cross-spectrum three party majority of the Left Green Movement, Independence Party, and Progressive party was formed with the Left Green Movement holding the prime ministry.

The following parties have put forth lists in all six constituencies:

July 23rd, 2031

The last five years have been momentous for their normalcy in Peru. The incumbent president, 41 year old Raúl Lúis Vargas, has not been impeached, forced to resign in disgrace, connected to massive corruption scandals, involved in a foreign war, presided over economic collapse, called special elections or referendums to circumvent Congress, attempted to unilaterally amend the constitution, or had public affairs. Instead, he has overseen the rise of the GDPPC Peru by over two thousand dollars, furthered integration into the Andean Union, and peace and stability in Peru. Naturally, these simple acts of not doing anything stupid or getting unlucky with regards to world economic issues have made President Vargas wildly popular. A meme petition to coronate him as the first ‘King of Peru’ received thousands of signatures, though President Vargas politely declined. A more serious petition to amend the constitution to allow for re-election gathered over a million signatures, though President Vargas declined that as well, citing his support for term limits and his current campaign for Chancellor of the Andean Union.

With President Vargas off the table, all eyes went to his endorsement. He stayed out of the Vamos! primary, and immediately endorsed the winner, Sofía Huaricancha Michi, a half-Quechua Congresswomen from Iquitos. Her native background was seen as a significant electoral benefit, especially when running against the surprisingly strong pro-native Qhapaq party, which finished second in the 2026 general election. Opposing Ms. Michi is a center-right/Fujimorist candidate, Governor Carlos Ferdinand of Madre de Dios Region, and a Qhapaq candidate, Congresswoman Julía Caipa of Tacna. Various potential left-wing candidates declined to run and endorsed Michi or Caipa.

Polling suggests that Michi will win the first round in the low forties, followed by a tight race for the right to challenge her in the second round between Caipa and Ferdinand.

In the congressional race, Vamos! looks to loose its rare congressional majority though keep a plurality. The lack of a presidential candidate may mean the left wing parties will loose their seats, and both Qhapaq and the right wing parties are looking to expand their seats.

I hope this guide is interesting. This is my first post in this sub but I think I am knowledgeable enough to make this post deserve its flair. So, without further ado, may I present to you my guide to the Bulgarian general election!

Overview

Basic Information

On the 14th of November, Bulgarians will be heading to the polls to vote for a new national assembly and president. The National assembly is the unicameral legislature and it consists of 240 elected members. It has the power to pass laws and vote for a cabinet.

Election system

Members of parliament are elected through proportional representation with semi-open regional lists. Seats are apportioned through the D'hont method with a Herr-Niemeier quota and an electoral threshold of 4%. The regions have the same borders as the administrative provinces, except for the city of Sofia, which is divided into three. The presidential election uses a simple 2 round system.

Current government

The current government is a quite popular interim government appointed by the president. A very funny way to see how much better they are than the previous GERB government is to see that despite the covid crisis GDP has risen by like 7 or 8% just this year, which is unprecedented. Politically they are pragmatic af, but there are also a lot of prominent succs such as the justice minister.

Issues

The main issues include:

Covid restrictions - the new requirements for attending restaurants, bars, etc., and the schools going back to online mode have led to big protests throughout Bulgaria.

The EU green deal - very few parties support it in its current form, mainly because of the deadline for closing the coal power plants in the south of the country.

The economy + electricity prices - electricity prices have been rapidly rising and inflation rates are the highest since 2007. For now, no party is blamed, though that may only be temporary.

The parties

The strong parties, those that are basically guaranteed to enter (sorted by current polling data)

• GERB - the ruling party between 2009 and the beginning of 2021. They are your basic corrupt eastern European part similar to PiS, Fidesz, ANO, etc. They were created shortly before the 2007 European elections as the one-man project of the then-mayor of Sofia Boiko Borisov. At the time he was hugely popular and seen as a colorful, straight-talking populist, and proceeded to win the European election and did way better than anyone expected. The momen

###The Presidential Candidates

Raúl Luís Vargas

First Minister of Governmental Oversight, a Congressman from Lima, widely considered to be the author of the Andean Constitution, and founder of Vamos!, Raúl Luís Vargas unsurprisingly is running for president. Only 36, he nevertheless is one of the most experiences candidates in the race, and is widely perceived as the front runner following the key endorsement of popular former president Martín Vizcarra, who recently narrowly lost his bid to be the first Chancellor of the Andes on the Vamos! ticket. Vargas is a centrist, favoring international trade and cooperation, liberalization of society, and limited economic intervention.

** Jorge Pedro La Reyes**

A popular general and veteran of the Cinema War, he is one of the most public Peruvian nationalists, famous for his viscous denouncements of the Andean Constitutional Convention while he served as a delegate. He is running on a ticket of capitalism, nationalism, Catholicism, and militarism, and has already drawn comparisons to Alberto Fujimori. However, he rejects any Fujimorist labels, and instead casts himself as a Peruvian conservative. He surged to second place in the field. drawing significant Fujimorist support in addition to his conservative base.

Atahualpa Tupac Capac

A Quecha lawyer and local politician, Capac has leaped on the Qhapaq ticket to run for president. He has benefited from the collapse of the Fujimoristas, with about half of the Fujimorists supporting him and half supporting La Reyes. He calls for a pan-Andean new Inca Empire, the return of the traditional Incan religion, the declaration of Quecha as the sole legal language, and a diplomatic turn towards Asia and Africa and away from what he calls ‘colonial powers’. He is currently fighting for third place.

Marco Gonzalez

The candidate supported by P
