So, to Summarize, The Left formed a Minority government.
This election was crucial. Mainly because of reasons like:
1) Atsumi trying to coup Stewart;
2) Bruhsam Quitting politics and going on to paint waifus and paintings and sing;
3) Major splits in Communist Party, SDP, Liberal Party and the dissolving of Chittagong Party and Tippera Congress and their Merger into Liberal Party and Conservative party respectively;
4) A near war with Austria-Hungary;
5) The Communist Paramilitary and Conservative paramilitary confronting each other in Noakhali again;
6) Integration of Burma into East India;
7) numerous resource shortages;
8) Basically Nukeya vs East India thingy led both come to terms.
While the right front (currently Conservatives+ LDP+ Burma Nationalist party) started to crumble because of a split in Liberal party, two parties formed. The Liberal party, and the Liberal democratic party. While the Liberal Party stayed in the centre, the Liberal democratic party went rightwards and supported Center-right politics. This split mainly happened because Atsumi Aihara, the leader of Conservative party felt threatened from foreign interference and disliked Liberal Party's attitudes to issues. In a way though, they made the party crumble, so yea, technically they were successful. They campaigned on the issues of 'Nationalism', Bangla-dominance on other states, effectively inciting violence against Bangla migrants, campaigning for free market, militarisation and related stuff to it. The right front went just from the right to a more polarized right, where they recruited more people into their armed wing.
The Armed wing is effectively a paramilitary that is operated by a party or a particular organisation according to East Indian law. Mostly though, the Armed wings are politically based. Most of the Major parties have an armed wing. They are not with weapons, but have batons and sticks, and airsoft rifles which they often use to clash with each other's armed groups. This is a big issue, as it caused a large political polarization, but, if anything bad starts to happen, the East Indian police is quickly deployed to solve issues and resolve things peacefully. Sometimes, it is not the case and we always get a major fight in streets of Noakhali, mainly because it is equally as leftist as it is rightist, and the vote count always comes to difference to 2-3 votes, effectively polarizing the population.
The left front (Communist party+ SDP+ Burma Congress) was way more mature this time. Instead of crying crocodile tears, they expanded their armed wing, but didn't use it to fight. Instead they used it to help people from grassroots, effectively creating a shadow government in areas like Kolkata, Rangoon, Rajshahi and Dawei. They campaigned on the issues of 'nationalization of production', talking about uniting communities to form a new identity of East India, they too campaigned for militarization, demanded help for the people in deprived areas of Kishoreganj, ultimately forcing the government to work there. They also campaigned for protectionist economic policies and secularization and equality for all. They also used numerous food shortages and Uranium shortages as an issue, which they used to question the government many times. The left front though suffered some splits.
Something unique about the left and right front was that they were for a rare time agreeing on something. They agreed that militarization was important, mainly for national security, but the left was different. They hate corporationism, and for that reason, despise Nukeya. In many areas, images like this were used to support left:
Basically, in states of north east, they used this stuff to campaign. This ended up being a big issue where the president had to interfere and stop the left causing more troubles between the hostile relations and stop their candidates defaming european nations in general. But who cares about respecting enemy in elections, they proceeded and made it a turning point in Sikkim and Nagaland.
The centre front was newly formed with the remnants of Liberal party, Syndicalist Party of East India: a split party of Communist party which is slightly less radical than Communist party, Radical Humanist party: A split from SDP slightly more radical than SDP which believes in Radical Humanism, an idea proposed by M.N. Roy. The coalition also included Independent candidates. Why were they centre despite being mainly leftist? They believed that the modern politics is bad, and needs revolutionizing. They believe that the modern politics emphasizes more one's identity than serving people, which they consider is against the principles of the East Indian morals. Truly a radical thought, but they refuse to ally with both the political groups, thus forming a front of themselves, commonly known by the above name and also known as third front. They mainly campaigned by spreading leaflets to people and giving speeches on modern society and how it should be changed and the corrupt leaders be replaced with ones which are more serving of the people, rather than just counting money.
Stuff was bad. Many violent incidents took place.
But at the end, Election results were declared.
