Good morning!

Today, the results for the first federal election of the Free Principality of Ecclesiarreich were formalized.

The Federal Ecclesian Parliament is made up of six hundred and thirty five (635) seats. These seats are split between Federal and State level; three hundred and seventeen (317) seats are nominated on a federal level, and three hundred and eighteen (318) seats are nominated on a provincial level, with fifty three (53) seats assigned to each province. Every citizen of the Free Principality submits one vote for federal level seats, and one vote for provincial level seats. Results are based on proportional representation for both federal and provincial level seats, which is facilitated through the use of a single transferable vote system1.

I am proud to announce the results of the federal Free Principality wide election, subject to any appeals, as follows;

Unification Party of Ecclesian States (UPES) - 161
Ecclesian Conservative Party (ECP) - 143
Reich Workers Union (RWU) - 101
Socialist Party of Ecclesiarreich (SPE) - 89
Ecclesian Federal Moderates (EFM) - 53
Free Trade Ecclesiarreich (FTE) - 32
Libertarian Reich (LR) - 31
Ecclesian Environmental Union (EEU) - 17
Independents - 8

The Unification Party of Ecclesian States now has the right to approach other parties within the Federal Ecclesian Parliament, and Independents, and attempt to form a majority government.

Inforeich- your stop for unbiased information about Ecclesiarreich.

Today, the Unification Party of Ecclesian States (UPES) is attempting to form a government with the support of other political parties. To do this, the constitution requires them to find 351 supporting members.

UPES itself has 161 members.

The Ecclesian Federal Moderates (EFM) have pledged to support a UPES government, adding 53 seats to this total. But what of the other parties?

UPES is a centralist party itself by nature, because of the non-axis nature of it's major policy (Ecclesian Unification), which has attracted members from all ideological backgrounds. This also, however, means it is difficult for UPES itself to create policy beyond this. The parties that choose to back it, therefore, will strongly influence the policies of a UPES government.

On the right wing, there are three major parties; the Ecclesian Conservative Party (ECP), Free Trade Ecclesiarreich (FTE), and Libertarian Reich (LR). The combined support of these parties would create a coalition of 367 seats, not including independent support or EFM.

On the left wing, there are three other major parties; Reich Workers Union (RWU), Socialist Party of Ecclesiarreich (SPE), and Ecclesian Environmental Union (EEU). The combined support of these parties would create a coalition of 368 seats, not including independent support or EFM. RWU and SPE alone would create a coalition of 351 seats, enough to form government.

It is up to UPES to decide which way to go, or whether to attempt to form a centrist coalition of the more moderate parties on either side of the political fence that UPES sits upon.
