April 2021 Doggerland legislative elections

The April 2021 Doggerland legislative election is scheduled to be held on April 29, 2021, to determine the composition of the National Assembly of Doggerland.

Background
Just after the last general elections, both the Libertarians and the PFP joined the Civic Union. However, some discontent Libertarians decided to keep the party.

On 11 April 2021, Robert La Follette announced the creation of the Populist Party. Two days later, it was dissolved. The same day in which the PP was dissolved, Volt+Pirates, a LP splinter, was founded by Benjamin LeDuc.

The following is a Summary by DSPAN of the events of April 25, 2021.

Trashman's run for LWP leader fails as he is annulled by Mel's mandate from accusations of fraud. Trashman and Arjun subsequently are arrested. It is later shown that Mel himself was the one who commmitted fraud. The DL and the CP remove themselves from government, two factions are formed. A vote of no confidence was attempted, but was annulled by Ayvind Bjarnason.

The LWP faction led by the LWP, LP, CU, and IDP and the CP faction, led by the DCP, DL, Lbt, and AGP

Various irregular instances of conflict arise, former speaker of the house Ayvind Bjarnason leads a rebel group and bombs the parliament, killing several. They are removed from the DL and join the Communist Party.

Various members of the LWP flee the quickly escalating authoritarianism of the LWP's leader. 6 members defect due to this instance.

While in the Presidential Manor, various instances of murder occur, effectively killing two members involved with the earlier instances (Mel, Moss Boss) while the remaining three are arrested (Baveland, MapDude, and PrisonMike) as well as Beady. Senator OttoFrog is revealed to be an alt account of MossBoss and is stripped of his DL credentials. The 5 involved were revealed to have led a "cabal" of individuals which aided in various instances of corruption and voter fraud.

With the leaders killed off, Trashman is instated as leader of the LWP. Rune organizes, as a compromise candidate, a government with the agreement of the two party heads of the rivalling factions to avoid an all out civil war.

As a result of these events, the election was postponed from April 24 to April 29.
