Early July 2021 Doggerland legislative elections

The July 2021 Doggerland legislative election is scheduled to be held on July 3, 2021. A total of 15 parties are contesting the election, the most thus far.

Background
Two further splits on June 14 occurred creating two left-libertarian parties. One from former Volt-Pirates member Ben LeDuc and Rickroll as well as Reincarnated ex-DL member Seth Woods known as the Progressive Libertarians (PL). As well as reincarnated ex-DL member and ERA co-founder William Bos, ex Humanist MapGuy, and ex LWP and PP member Yma McRahcubolk forming Free and Equal (FaE).

There has been frequent debate over the sheer number of parties with some calling for the reduction of such by merging those which are most similar. Many pointed out that the large number of parties can lead to vote-splitting and can potentially be confusing for voters and parties alike. Contrasting this, some have pointed out that this can lead to more vibrant politics in Doggerland and argued that the diversity is beneficial.

This election was proceeded by the June 2021 Doggerland presidential election in which Doggerland Left leader and incumbent President Rune Tien-Long, running on the Forward Alliance with Labor Workers' Party deputy leader Avery Wagers won re-election against Joris Jansen who ran with the Independent Liberty Alliance with Green Peace Doggerland founder and Free and Equal member Seth Woods.

On July 1st, a regional party that has been formed somewhat recently as response to the growing Northern Independence movement called Self-Reliance! announced its intentions to run at the national level, saying it would try to sway an election in exchange for a referendum on independence for the north of Doggerland.

Reactions
Citing the pressures of leading two parties simultaneously, Hawyee retired from the ASU/DFS, deciding to solely lead the IDP. He used Beadyesque rhetoric to decry the IDP's removal of votes.

Following the results, Enrico Harper transferred power of the Reform Party of Doggerland over to MapDude, and retired to become its Deputy Leader.
