In the elections of this year, the [[Humanist List]] did not include famous Humanists such as Prime Minister [[Daniyal al-Osman]], [[Ardashir Babakan-e Osman]], [[Jamshid-e Osman]], and [[Linus Truls Thorgilsson]]. Media speculated on the reason of the Humanist surprise move in calling for new elections where most of their "prime candidates" would not stand for election. Some theories that floated was that the Nationalist & Humanist Party central offices have called these people to "more important" tasks in the recently expanded [[Benacian Union]]. Hurmu had already been seen in Humanist media as a "teaching ground" for Osmani and other Humanists seeking to learn the arts of governing and politics.

Whether this was an intentional abstention or deliberate boycott of the proceedings, remains to be seen.

== Government formation ==
 
Following the results of both Senate and Assembly elections, it became clear that Edasi Hurmu became the largest faction in the Assembly and its allied faction in the Senate, the United List, was the largest there. As such, the leadership of both allied factions decided to seek to form a coalition government on the basis of the principles of (1) continuity, (2) stability, (3) good government, (4) and increased social safety. With arithmetics in the Assembly being so that at least three parties would be needed to form a government if inviting either the Conservatives or the Humanists; not having either of them in government would create an unstable and weak government.
 
Edasi/United first considered breaking free from humanism, but the Humanists had been part of Hurmu's government since 1690. The Conservatives have no government experience. If Edasi/United would to lead the government for the first time since 1690, government experience would be necessary. While the Humanists and Edasi/United had many differences, they had found a way to negotiate and find middle grounds on several issues in a fruitful, productive, and respectful manner. Moreover the political events of 1710 had shown it necessary for Humanists and Edasi not be in opposition to one another but to recognize their codependency, for the peace and prosperity of Hurmu. As such, Edasi/United decided to invite the humanists in. In an effort, though, to keep policies "left" enough, they also invited the Social and Democratic Party into the coalition government.
 
The three parties thus agreed on a government programme consisting of:
 
''Social policies''
* increased social security support (sick leave, pensions, unemployment insurance)
* easier access to primary and specialized health care
 
''Labour law''
* reduction in full-time working hours to 96 hours per calendar month
* collective bargaining agreements to have legal validity
* increased power to labour unions
 
''Enterprise''
* Begin negotiating free-trade agreements on agricultural products (XC, with the RP)
 
''Security and defence''
* With the RP forces leaving Hurmu, increased funding for the Hurmu Peace Corps
* Those serving the Hurmu Peace Corps would be governed outside the remit of the states and districts and normal civil law; instead they would be governed under ''Pacific Law'', to be a non-territorial "district" directly under the Senate.
* Conscription into pacific or civil roles to be extended across the entirety of the State
 
In the end, and keeping in line with tradition that the Prime Minister be taken from the Senate, Edasi/United nominated [[Patrik Djupvik]] to the position of prime minister. Moreover, the Parties agreed that Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal would be Deputy Prime Minister as well as a division of ministerial portfolios.
 
On 18.I.1713, the Assembly passed a resolution nominating Patrik Djupvik to form the next government as Prime Minister. The matter then moved to the Senate. Negotiations in the Senate on various positions stalled the vote, but on 11.II.1713, the Senate passed the division of high state officers, with approving [[Patrik Djupvik]] as [[Prime Minister of Hurmu|Prime Minister]], electing [[Ichirō]] the new Commander of the Order of the Holy Lakes, and re-electing Li Naomiai to the position of Chancellor of the Order of the Holy Lakes.

Hurmu's fifth Parlerment elections are scheduled to be held during the twelfth month of 1712. The previous elections occurred in 1707. The next elections are scheduled for 1718

See also 1712 Hurmu general elections/IRL for the OOC procedure of the election.

Background

On 15.III.1712, Daniyal al-Osman, the incumbent Prime Minister of Hurmu for 22 years, aged 67 years, surprised the Senate by informing it of his desire of "soon stepping down". Instead of resigning the Prime Ministership and leaving it to a crown prince or so, within his own party, he asked the Senate to dissolve the Assembly of Representatives and call for new elections instead. The Senate, while surprised at the situation, readily agreed, and elections were called one year ahead of schedule. Daniyal al-Osman thus remain in place as Prime Minister until after a new Senate and Assembly had been elected.

In the elections of this year, the Humanist List did not include famous Humanists such as Prime Minister Daniyal al-Osman, Ardashir Babakan-e Osman, Jamshid-e Osman, and Linus Truls Thorgilsson. Media speculated on the reason of the Humanist surprise move in calling for new elections where most of their "prime candidates" would not stand for election. Some theories that floated was that the Nationalist & Humanist Party central offices have called these people to "more important" tasks in the recently expanded Benacian Union. Hurmu had already been seen in Humanist media as a "teaching ground" for Osmani and other Humanists seeking to learn the arts of governing and politics. Further interest and confusion was generated when it was observed that the House of Santiago-Santander and related affiliates, for some reason, failed to cast their votes at all. Whether this was an intentional abstention or deliberate boycott of the proceedings, remains to be seen.

Procedure

Eighteen seats in the Senate, elected by the members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, and 99 seats in the Assembly, elected by persons with legal and permanent residence in Hurmu are up for election. All electors must be at least 18 years of age on the last day of the election. Thus not only citizens of Hurmu are allowed to vote, but legally resident foreigners too. Citizenship is a prerequisite, however, for being a candidate.

Residents in the Lake District will elect 20 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien will elect 19 members, and Rekozemlje 21 members. Residents of Amaland will be represented by 7 members, and residents of Karnamark by 4. Al-Khadra District will elect 21 representatves, Transprinitica will be represented by 6 members, and residents of the Samhold Island will be represented by 1 member. Legal residency is not recognised in the Southern District, and as such, that district will remain outside the remit of the election. Hurmu citizens resident the Southern District or in Eesdeheito, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, may vote through their constituency of origin. Citizens who are members of the Order of the Holy Lakes do not vote in Assembly elections but in the Senate election.

The constitution of Hurmu allows for referendums to be held at the same time. Such referendums are binding and require the majority of electors to the Senate to be in favour in order to be binding upon the state institutions of Hurmu, for example amending the constitution or adopting legislation. Another option is for the Electorate through voting in the affirmative or negative to a question bind the Senate to introduce or not to introduce legislation on a specific matter. No provision in the constitution allows for country-wide referendums for Assembly voters.

Senate elections

In this Senate election, the adult members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, who during the year 1712 will reach an age of 18 or more, are electors. The electors will elect 18 members.

Referendums for Electors of the Order of the Holy Lakes

Three referendum questions will be asked the electors of the Order of the Holy Lakes:

  1. Question 1: Leave WANC? Hurmu is a member of the World Association of Non-aligned Countries. It is an association of non-aligned countries, currently Cisamarra, Hurmu, Meckelnburgh, and Sanama. Should Hurmu leave the World Association of Non-aligned Countries?
  2. Question 2: End Raspur Pact and other foreign military presence in Hurmu? Hurmu has extensive military cooperation with Raspur Pact forces in Hurmu territories, particularly in Apollonian Hurmu and the Southern District. This has helped pacify these areas, bring order and peace to the people there, and expand Hurmu's sovereignty. At the same time, Hurmu is a neutral country in terms of military alliances. Should military forces belonging to a foreign power leave Hurmu, and this military cooperation with the Raspur Pact end?
  3. Question 3: Should Hurmu join the Raspur Pact? The Raspur Pact was the only alliance to offer meaningful assistance in countering first Barikalus and then the Great Vanic Revolt. The Allied Mission in Eastern Apollonia, Hurmu & Lyrica was essential to the establishment and pacification of the territory now controlled by Hurmu following the collapse of Stormark. Free Trade with the Raspur Pact is also a significant contribution to the prosperity of Hurmu's developing economy. Should Hurmu recognise the accumulated debts of honour and put aside neutrality in favour of the mutually beneficial alliance?
  4. Question 4: Expel Harald posthumously from the Order, but Mahmud and Hendrik be members? Harald, High King of Stormark, and, for a short while, Prince-Baron of Hurmu, is a person who, since his reign in Hurmu, brought the Order of Holy Lakes into disrepute by his mere presence and precedence in the Order with his own line. His living descendants in Batavia, Çakaristan and Kurum ash-Sharqia, Knights and Ladies of the Order, have proved themselves loyal to the Order, and should not be affected by his posthumous expulsion. Should therefore Harald, High King of Stormark, be expelled from the Order, with the stipulation that the brothers Mahmud bin Alsalam (posthumously) and Hendrik Leopold des Vinandy be admitted as Knights of the Holy Lakes, with their own lines, from the same point in time as the expulsion of Harald?

Referendum results are binding on the new Senate in as much as they can be. In this instance, however, question 1 and question 3 are in conflict to on one another, as are questions 2 and 3 on each other. If such conflict (e.g., if no to Q1, and yes to Q3; and yes to Q2 and Q3), then the Senate cannot be bound by the result, but should nonetheless evaluate the best cause of action. Alternatively the Senate can adhere to the referendum decisions and leave any apparent contradictions to the foreign treaty partners to either resolve or internalise.

Results

Question 1: Leave WANC

Question 1: Leave WANC? Hurmu is a member of the World Association of Non-aligned Countries. It is an association of non-aligned countries, currently Cisamarra, Hurmu, Meckelnburgh, and Sanama. Should Hurmu leave the World Association of Non-aligned Countries?

Question 1 Yes No Blank
Ballots 552 394 3
Of votes cast 58.35% 41.65%
Of electors 56.15% 40.08% 0.31%

With 949 votes cast, of which 552 votes were "yes", both a majority of voters and a majority of electors were in favour of Hurmu leaving the World Association of Non-aligned Countries. This is binding upon the new Senate to effect.

Question 2: End Raspur Pact presence

Question 2: End Raspur Pact and other foreign military presence in Hurmu? Hurmu has extensive military cooperation with Raspur Pact forces in Hurmu territories, particularly in Apollonian Hurmu and the Southern District. This has helped pacify these areas, bring order and peace to the people there, and expand Hurmu's sovereignty. At the same time, Hurmu is a neutral country in terms of military alliances. Should military forces belonging to a foreign power leave Hurmu, and this military cooperation with the Raspur Pact end?

Question 2 Yes No Blank
Ballots 555 392 2
Of votes cast 58.61% 41.39%
Of electors 56.46% 39.88% 0.20%

With a majority of electors answering the question "yes", the decision is binding upon the Senate.

Question 3: Join the Raspur Pact

Question 3: Should Hurmu join the Raspur Pact? The Raspur Pact was the only alliance to offer meaningful assistance in countering first Barikalus and then the Great Vanic Revolt. The Allied Mission in Eastern Apollonia, Hurmu & Lyrica was essential to the establishment and pacification of the territory now controlled by Hurmu following the collapse of Stormark. Free Trade with the Raspur Pact is also a significant contribution to the prosperity of Hurmu's developing economy. Should Hurmu recognise the accumulated debts of honour and put aside neutrality in favour of the mutually beneficial alliance?

Question 3 Yes No Blank
Ballots 361 436 152
Of votes cast 45.29% 54.71%
Of electors 36.72% 44.35% 15.46%

While a majority of votes were against Hurmu joining the Raspur Pact, this did not constitute a majority of electors, and thus this decision is not binding upon the Senate.

Question 4: Expel Harald; and admit brothers Mahmud and Hendrik

Question 4: Expel Harald posthumously from the Order, but Mahmud and Hendrik be members? Harald, High King of Stormark, and, for a short while, Prince-Baron of Hurmu, is a person who, since his reign in Hurmu, brought the Order of Holy Lakes into disrepute by his mere presence and precedence in the Order with his own line. His living descendants in Batavia, Çakaristan and Kurum ash-Sharqia, Knights and Ladies of the Order, have proved themselves loyal to the Order, and should not be affected by his posthumous expulsion. Should therefore Harald, High King of Stormark, be expelled from the Order, with the stipulation that the brothers Mahmud bin Alsalam (posthumously) and Hendrik Leopold des Vinandy be admitted as Knights of the Holy Lakes, with their own lines, from the same point in time as the expulsion of Harald?

Yes No Blank
Ballots 727 22 200
Of votes cast 97.06% 2.94%
Of electors 73.96% 2.24% 20.35%

A majority of both voters and electors answered the question in the affirmative, and thus the decision of the electors is binding upon the Senate.

Assembly Election

Hurmu residents in the States and districts of Hurmu, as well as Hurmu citizens living abroad, may vote in the election to the Assembly of Representatives, provided they are above the age of 18 (or will turn 18 during the year of the election), and are not members of the Order of the Holy Lakes (in which case they will vote in the Senate election).

Residents in the Lake District will elect 20 members of the Assembly, while residents in Lontinien will elect 19 members, and Rekozemlje 21 members. Residents of Amaland will be represented by 7 members, and residents of Karnamark by 4. Al-Khadra District will elect 21 representatves, Transprinitica will be represented by 6 members, and residents of the Samhold Island will be represented by 1 member.

Citizens who are members of the Order of the Holy Lakes do not vote in Assembly elections but in the Senate election.

Government formation

Following the results of both Senate and Assembly elections, it became clear that Edasi Hurmu became the largest faction in the Assembly and its allied faction in the Senate, the United List, was the largest there. As such, the leadership of both allied factions decided to seek to form a coalition government on the basis of the principles of (1) continuity, (2) stability, (3) good government, (4) and increased social safety. With arithmetics in the Assembly being so that at least three parties would be needed to form a government if inviting either the Conservatives or the Humanists; not having either of them in government would create an unstable and weak government.

Edasi/United first considered breaking free from humanism, but the Humanists had been part of Hurmu's government since 1690. The Conservatives have no government experience. If Edasi/United would to lead the government for the first time since 1690, government experience would be necessary. While the Humanists and Edasi/United had many differences, they had found a way to negotiate and find middle grounds on several issues in a fruitful, productive, and respectful manner. Moreover the political events of 1710 had shown it necessary for Humanists and Edasi not be in opposition to one another but to recognize their codependency, for the peace and prosperity of Hurmu. As such, Edasi/United decided to invite the humanists in. In an effort, though, to keep policies "left" enough, they also invited the Social and Democratic Party into the coalition government.

The three parties thus agreed on a government programme consisting of:

Social policies

  • increased social security support (sick leave, pensions, unemployment insurance)
  • easier access to primary and specialized health care

Labour law

  • reduction in full-time working hours to 96 hours per calendar month
  • collective bargaining agreements to have legal validity
  • increased power to labour unions

Enterprise

  • Begin negotiating free-trade agreements on agricultural products (XC, with the RP)

Security and defence

  • With the RP forces leaving Hurmu, increased funding for the Hurmu Peace Corps
  • Those serving the Hurmu Peace Corps would be governed outside the remit of the states and districts and normal civil law; instead they would be governed under Pacific Law, to be a non-territorial "district" directly under the Senate.
  • Conscription into pacific or civil roles to be extended across the entirety of the State

In the end, and keeping in line with tradition that the Prime Minister be taken from the Senate, Edasi/United nominated Patrik Djupvik to the position of prime minister. Moreover, the Parties agreed that Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal would be Deputy Prime Minister as well as a division of ministerial portfolios.

On 18.I.1713, the Assembly passed a resolution nominating Patrik Djupvik to form the next government as Prime Minister. The matter then moved to the Senate. Negotiations in the Senate on various positions stalled the vote, but on 11.II.1713, the Senate passed the division of high state officers, with approving Patrik Djupvik as Prime Minister, electing Ichirō the new Commander of the Order of the Holy Lakes, and re-electing Li Naomiai to the position of Chancellor of the Order of the Holy Lakes.
