History of The Leftist Assembly: Difference between revisions

Line 54:
They went radio silent until 31 April, where they departed the region without announcement, using their remaining influence to eject British Accia and New Tuva SSR. Consequently, Atealia assumed the position of interim Secretary until the official vote of no confidence passed unanimously on 3 May, seeing the Prime Minister formally take on the top job for a second time.
 
===Leadership and legislation===
===Llorens' legislative push===
The remainder of the [[5th General Assembly]] saw significant progress as a result of the resignations of several inactive Ministers and the spearheading of a raft of new legislation by Second Justice Llorens, with a focus on amending the issues exposed during the April Crisis. He was the only candidate to nominate for Secretary in the [[June 2017 general election]], being overwhelmingly confirmed in a confidence vote to become the first ‘Assemblian native’ elected to the position.
 
The [[6th General Assembly]] saw Llorens once again lead an overhaul of legislation, removing the Secretary’s voting advantage, expanding the banjection code, and amending the Constitution to apply a new numbered format. The following term, after another strong show of support in the [[September 2017 general election]], he passed bills abolishing the Leftist Defence Force, as well as separating the legislative and judicial branches. The Secretary also organised the first quarterly census in October, as well as the [[1st Culture Competitions]], which became a biannual event to design and vote on new features of the region, such as its flag and animal.

In foreign affairs, the region became tied up in a dispute over the proposed NSLeft membership of the Social Liberal Union. While most NSLeft regions had voted in favour of their membership by 23 November, scepticism led by some vocal figures concerning the acceptance of a ‘liberal’ region into the alliance and perceived antagonism from members of the Social Liberal Union towards authoritarian leftists prompted regions to reconsider their stance. The Leftist Assembly reaffirmed its vote in favour but would be the only region to do so as all others abstained or voted against, seeing the bid fail on 30 November.

The rival tickets of South Miruva/Atealia and VegemiteIsGross/Libertasnia emerged in the [[December 2017 general election]], with each campaign emphasising different foreign policy visions. The former was narrowly elected on a campaign seeking to continue "unity-oriented foreign policy," as opposed to their opponents' plan to ban embassies with regions tagged as Liberal and move the region closer to The Internationale.

Under the new Secretary, the [[8th General Assembly]] featured two particularly contentious bills, with Cedoria narrowly passing a bill prohibiting Justices from dually serving as Ministers, promoting Senators as Ministers "where possible," and allowing all Ministers to view internal General Assembly communications, while a subsequent bill by Llorens to repeal most of the new provisions failed by one vote in a referendum. The first population boom of the region also occurred during this time under Minister of Recruitment Kavagrad, with the regional population more than doubling to over 250 nations by the term's conclusion.
 
===Community developments===
The term would also be remembered for aA failed invasion by the nation of Mycra on 29 August, whichbecame was later labelledknown as the 'August Farce' for its farcically poor planning. The nation illegally spammed the region with World Assembly puppets to endorse themselves in a comically slow bid to take the Delegacy, but their efforts were stifled after all their nations were ejected and site moderators banned them from the World Assembly.
 
Another notable nation that emerged in this period was AnPrimus, which was founded on 25 November. They became notable for coining such names as ‘Red and Gold the Tricksy’ for Llorens, ‘Cedoria the Strong’ and ‘Horse the Hugger’ for The Final Horseman, as well as the tendency to throw virtual poo across the RMB. It iswas widely believed that the account belonged to Morvan, though others havewere beenalso suspected, andbefore theyit havewas sincerevealed becometo be VegemiteIsGross in January 2021. The nation became a regional folk legend, inspiring several short-lived spinoffs.
