The '''Cynulliad Cenedlaethol election of 1688''' were the elections for the [[Cynulliad Cenedlaethol|unicameral parliament]] of [[Calbion]]. The election was the first following the expansion of the nation, also known as [[Ynysoedd Unedig]], which was approved by the Assembly in 1686 against the wishes of [[Governor-General of Calbion|Governor-General]] [[Evyn Drakeford]]. Following this political defeat, the Drakeford government became unable to control the Nationalist faction in the assembly, resulting in a lack of confidence and early elections in 1688. In addition, the international community became increasingly hostile to the independent Calbain state, which saw Calbion becoming more and more isolated in the Raspur-, and USSO-dominated power play. Several prominent liberal members of the Nationalist Faction convened shortly one week after the fall of the government, and announced that they would back the young liberal George Kingsbane for Governor-General. Upon this announcement, Drakeford immediately left the faction, and announced the formation of the Ynysig Movement, a traditionalist nationalist movement that promotes isolationist, traditionalist and autarkic policies. He was followed by 24 Nationalist assembly members. In a political upset, Evyn Drakeford declared that the Ynysig Movement would back the Realist candidate, Richard ab Ioan in the elections. | The '''Cynulliad Cenedlaethol election of 1688''' were the elections for the [[Cynulliad Cenedlaethol|unicameral parliament]] of [[Calbion]].

Partly because the internal fight and fracture, the Nationalists lost a lot of support. In addition, the expansion of Calbion's territory also meant that the political power balance shifted. Kilkelly and the Western islands were a lot more conservative and traditionalist than the nationalist stronghold of Calbion. During Arcadian occupation, the Conservative movement that became part of the Realist coalition had governed with a massive majority. It was this that had caused Drakeford to take position against the Ynysoedd Unedig plan. As a result of this change in political balance, the elections resulted in the biggest defeat for the nationalists ever in Calbion's history. | Partly because the internal fight and fracture, the Nationalists lost a lot of support.

The Cynulliad Cenedlaethol election of 1688 were the elections for the unicameral parliament of Calbion. The election was the first following the expansion of the nation, also known as Ynysoedd Unedig, which was approved by the Assembly in 1686 against the wishes of Governor-General Evyn Drakeford. Following this political defeat, the Drakeford government became unable to control the Nationalist faction in the assembly, resulting in a lack of confidence and early elections in 1688. In addition, the international community became increasingly hostile to the independent Calbain state, which saw Calbion becoming more and more isolated in the Raspur-, and USSO-dominated power play. Several prominent liberal members of the Nationalist Faction convened shortly one week after the fall of the government, and announced that they would back the young liberal George Kingsbane for Governor-General. Upon this announcement, Drakeford immediately left the faction, and announced the formation of the Ynysig Movement, a traditionalist nationalist movement that promotes isolationist, traditionalist and autarkic policies. He was followed by 24 Nationalist assembly members. In a political upset, Evyn Drakeford declared that the Ynysig Movement would back the Realist candidate, Richard ab Ioan in the elections.
Partly because the internal fight and fracture, the Nationalists lost a lot of support. In addition, the expansion of Calbion's territory also meant that the political power balance shifted. Kilkelly and the Western islands were a lot more conservative and traditionalist than the nationalist stronghold of Calbion. During Arcadian occupation, the Conservative movement that became part of the Realist coalition had governed with a massive majority. It was this that had caused Drakeford to take position against the Ynysoedd Unedig plan. As a result of this change in political balance, the elections resulted in the biggest defeat for the nationalists ever in Calbion's history.
