Contesting Parties

Participating parties in the elections of 1741 AN were:

• The Imperial Democratic Party (IDP) returned to the political arena with the goal of pushing for democratisation of Shirerithian society. While it had played an important role in fighting the most radical elements during the Mango Anarchy, its connection with the Imperial Democrats of Ransenar cost them in popularity due to friction among the populace for the loss of Guttuli during the Shiro-Benacian War.
• The Republican Imperial Coalition (RIC) united moderate conservatives and reactionaries who formerly voted for the Throne Loyalists and Mango-Strenghtening Movement.
• The Vanguard for National Rewakening saw a return as a fringe party, despite the passing of its popular chairman Tobias Wythe during the War.
• The Reform Society sought to protect gains made during the Anarchy which benefitted the commoners. Seen by some as radical, but relative harmless and moderate.
• H'graasreign Party, a Cedrist party accused of being fundamentalist, far-right and fascist.
• Other smaller, regional parties.

Aftermath and government formation

Immediately after the elections, the Republican Imperial Coalition vetoed any coalitions with the Vanguard and the H'graasreign. It invited the Ultra-Royalist and Conservative Monarchist parties of Batavia to preliminary negotiations. The Ultra-Royalists left these negotiations when the Reform Society was invited too.

On 16.IX.1741, a coalition agreement was formalized between:

• Republican Imperial Coalition
• Reform Society
• Conservative Monarchist Party of Batavia
• National Development Party of Talenore
• Passibelend
