Parties and Biographies
The Centrist Party is the party in the middle. They vote issue by issue on different things. They are the incumbent party. Their main platforms are Foreign Affairs and Equality.
The Monarchist/Imperialist Party was formed after the last election when the two parties merged to gain more political influence. Their main platforms are expanding Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia and giving more power to King Charles.
The New Democratic Party is a far left leaning party, supporting individual rights and environmentalism, yet at the same time is against communism. Their platform is "For the People, by the People".
The Liberal Party is a left leaning party. The main differences between them and the NDP are that they are not communists yet do not oppose communism, and they are not environmentalists.
The Conservative Party is a right leaning party. They believe that the country matters more than the people. Their platform is about improving AHY, and raising taxes to improve quality of life (quite ironic). They also support the Axis.
The Fascist Party believes that white Germanic people are the 'pure' people. They are agressive and have some Nazi beliefs. (Nazis don't exist, but just to get the point across.) They are running on the Nationalist platform as well as the Racial Purity and Expansion platforms.
The Communist Party runs is a far left leaning party. They believe that everyone is and should be equal. They believe that everything should be state-owned, so that they can give everybody the same things. They are running on the Equality platform, hoping to get the poor and minority votes. They support the Comintern.
The Socialist Party is also a far left party. They believe in Communism, but take everything further. They say that every company should have a group of peasants leading, and everything is democraticly decoded by Worker's Councils. Their platform is that everyone should have a say. They do not support the Comintern, saying it is too capitalist.
The Serbian Independence party believes that Serbia should become its own Nation. They run Candidates in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Croatia. While people are amazed that they would run in Croatia, they justify it by saying "The Croat people hate Serbs, and hate being in a union with us, especially because we have more power. Because of this, they are willing to vote for the Serb Independance Party just to get us to leave."
The Bulgarian Independence Party believes that Bulgaria should not be a part of Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia. They run candidates in Bulgaria and multi-cultural Macedonia. They would be willing to accept Turkey as a ruler over AHY.
The Polish Independance Party wants to establish Poland as a soverign nation. They work in conjunction with Parties and Movements in German Poland and Russian Poland.
Results By Province
Austrian Citizens voted to keep the Status Quo. They voted 24 seats (48%) to the Centrist Party, with the Monarchist/Imperialist Party taking second in Austria with 8. The Liberals took 7, while the Conservatives got 4. The NDP took 3 seats with their anti-communist pro-individual stance, while the Communists took 2 seats, and the Socialists got the last seat.
In the province of Serbia (which consists of Serbia, Slovenia & Montenegro), the NDP won 12 seats, with the Centrists taking 11 and Serbian Independance Party 9. The Liberals came 4th with 4, and the Socialists and Monarchist/Imperialists came 5th and 6th with 3. The Fascists, Communists and Conservatives rounded off the pack with 2 each. Every single party that ran a candidate in Serbia got at least one seat.
Poland elected 10 Communist MPs, along with 8 Polish Independace Party members. The left-leaning NDP took 7, and the Liberals took 5. The Centrists took the last seat in Poland. Not surprisingly, not a single right-leaning party member was elected.
Rumania was also won by the Communists, though they recieved only 5 seats out of 28, because like Serbia, every single party that ran got a seat. The Centrists, NDP, Facists, and Socialists all got 4, while the Liberals and Monarchists took 3. The Conservatives took the last one, by only 15 votes in North Baia Mare over the Communists.
Croatia, always wanting power, voted in the Centrists with 8 seats. They believed that they would win, so having more Centrist MPs would be a boon for them. The Fascists took 7 seats simply by saying that included in the ethnic cleansing would be Serbs, but not Croats. It is still unkown how they took 2 seats in Serbia. The Liberals and NDP took 5 and 4, respectively, while the Conservatives took 2 seats. The last seat, Central Zagreb, went to the Serbian Independance Party, "Just to get rid of them".
Hungary, after having had a successful revolution and then having to lose some of its power, voted for the Monarchist/Imperialist Party with a strong margin, their 10 doubling the second place Centrists' 5 seats. The Conservatives took 4 seats, as the Socialists took 3. The New Democratic and Fascist Parties took 2 seats, and the Liberals took the last seat. The Communists were the only party not to get a Hungarian Seat. After the attempted Communist Revolution in Hungary, the Magyar people have hated them with a passion.
Bohemia & Moravia also voted in the Monarchist/Imperialist Party with 10 seats. However, the Centrists did better here, taking 9 seats. The Liberals took 4 and the New Democrats took the last 3 seats. Bohemia had quite a few interesting battles, with 3 seats being decided by under 200 votes, and 15 being under 1000 votes.
Bosnia & Herzegovina was the only province to elect the Conservatives, giving them 50% of the seats. Their 4 doubled the second-place Centrists' 2. The Liberal and Monarchist Parties each took 1 last seat.
Bulgaria elected the Centrist Party with 3 seats. The Bulgarian Independance Party took 2 seats, but contested 2 other seats, one Centrist and one Conservative. They complained that they actually won them, but after recounts they failed on both tries. The Conservatives, New Democrats, and Liberals all took 1 seat.
The territory of Macedonia was an interesting one. They had 10/11 parties field candidates, and only had 5 seats. The New Democrats won the territory with 2, while the Monarchist Party, the Liberal Party, and the Bulgarian Independance Party all took 1 seat each.
The territory of Albania had 2 seats, and elected the Centrists to both by over 2600 votes in each.

Other Election News
There are 238 seats and the Kings one seat, making 239 seats.
The Liberals proposed a Coalition with the NDP and either the Communists or Socialists, but the NDP rejected their offer.
The National Socialist Party and the Militarist Party also ran, but as neither won a seat nor gained 1% of the popular vote, they are not listed as official parties.
Though the Centrists almost doubled the NDP in seats, they are VERY far from the 119 needed for a majority. Therefore, this parliament might not last the full 3 years, and the Centrists will have to make wise moves politically.
The AHY election was done fairly, with only 2 protested seats. The observers are now being sent over to England to assist their.
OOC: EQ, I'm not going to PM this to you. Just use the results here for the update.
