Elections in Democracy government type

Recommended Posts

An idea i've made in a older topic:

Laws: Laws define how the government works and its policies, making it more immersive to change regimes, they work in different categories going from sociopolitical issues to government & economic issues, they would be approved if the majority if the parliament approves the law.

Parliament: The Parliament is composed by a certain number of seats, defined by the laws. It would be divided betweent the government and the opposition, if the opposition is very popular and angry it may coup the government and impose the laws they support, forcing the government to collaborate with the opposition.

Parties: Each party defends an ideology, endorsing some laws and condemning others. Each party have a pressure ( percentage of seats in the Parliament ) and can propose laws according to the ideology that they defend. The parties can make coalition with others that have a similar ideology to get majorty in the Parliament.

Ideology: They define what each party supports, with minor variations. Some of them focus at reforming political liberty and guaranteeing social rights, while others focus at revoking these rights.

Some ideologies ideas list:

  • Liberal
  • Conservative
  • Social-democratic
  • Communist
  • Fascist
  • Authoritarian
  • Anarchist

And maybe also separatist ? They make referendums for independence.

I think when elections happen, they could be in a form of events, with 2 events for each election happening:

 

Event 1: 2 weeks left until election!

 

Outcome effect: Election event starts, opposition parties are being very active to gain popularity (support) in the civilization.

 

Event 2: (Civilization)Elections result/ (insert leader/party name here) wins the elections in (Civilization)

Outcome name should depend on if your government won or lost the elections, for a party/leader to win elections, they need to gain the majority of ideology popularity/support in the civilization 

Outcome effect: winners party come in power, leader changes and government changes if not democratic subideology/party (example: if conservatives or social democrats win, country stays a democracy or constitutional monarchy, if communists or fascists win, new government system is established)

Extra idea: in ideology text file there should be a way to make a government democratic (with elections) or not, like how you can make a government revolutionary in aoh2, and also a way to add parties/ subideologies like conservatives, social democrats, liberals etc...

There is my idea on how events could work. Hope you liked it, if I should add something, reply to me about it

Question for Łukazs: Do you have any confirmed plans to add elections to Aoh3 ?

مرحبًا Lukasz، أريدك حقًا أن تضع الوضع التاريخي في Age of History 3، تمامًا مثل EU4 وHOI4. وإلا ألن يكون غريباً جداً أن يتقاتل مينغ والجزائر بلا سبب في سيناريو 1440؟

Algeria did not exist in 444, but rather the Kingdom of Tlemcen or (Zayyanid dynasty) existed.

Game it's just in alpha, civilization for 1440 is Don't exist yet

The button ''change of government '' would take more sense if when you click on monarchy, you make it gain more popularity until the next election. If the monarchy won, the government would crown a king.

And possibly make the same thing to others countries for influence, and coup is more radical.

Party popularity could be boosted by selecting a specific one and then boosted by tools like propaganda. The propaganda becomes more effective if there are certain technologies like radio, TV, Internet, etc...

+ if your ruling government does bad (example stability is low, bad economy management, loses wars) then he loses party popularity and the opposing parties popularity grows, and if it does well then its party popularity grows. The effect should be greater on how bad/ good your ruling government does.

 

+ to make it challenging to stay at power, the opposing parties will be active at spreading propaganda, but they cannot when certain laws like freedom of press are restricted, or if some parties are banned (banning parties lowers stability instantly, but increases it overtime

As a new mechanic you could finance parties of your ideology, obviously the country could discover it and lower your prestige if you are not a superpower

I think it is unwise to name every party in every democratic country. It is a lot of unnecessary work because some parties disappear, others appear and others change their views.

I would create 9 parties in every democratic country:

In countries with a 2-party system (like the United States), there should also be 9 parties (because even their 2 parties change throughout history, wandering around the entire political compass), but only the 2 parties with the greatest support would get into parliament. 

I also believe that only one chamber of parliament is enough. Why make it more difficult by adding another one.

Democracy should not be able to be changed to another system unless the party wins:

  • authoritarian-leftist - the possibility of changing the political system to communism
  • authoritarian-centrist - the possibility of changing the system to fascism/nazism
  • authoritarian-right - the possibility of changing the system to a monarchy

Everything is fine, but it is worth noting that the electoral system exists not only in bourgeois parliamentary and presidential republics/constitutional monarchies. This aspect of politics also exists under socialist/communist regimes.

It is worth making the option of the presence or absence of parliament separate from the ideolony mechanics. Let this become a special opportunity in states with parliament to more accurately determine the essence of their regime by choosing a “faction”.

Example: The ideology of the state is communism, and the strongest faction in parliament is syndicalist. Or the ideology is fascism, and the faction is the Nazis. Or the “ideology” is a constitutional monarchy, and the faction is the Agrarian Party
