Elections to the 3rd Cosa - March 1986
I'm not sure if this is correct, but my interpretation of the early years of Talossan democracy is that people didn't take it as seriously as they do now. Wild ideas are floated and quickly put aside, people and parties made various major shifts seemingly without too much damage to personal relations. The more disappointing is it how boring the numbers for the March 1986 elections are in comparison. This was all preceded by Danihel Laurieir demanding that Ben become a dictator (which might have actually greatly limited his power over other Talossans) and apparently starting some kind of guerilla movement. None of that matters. His DDP got two votes before and gets two votes again electorally. Not much change either for the far-right TNP which apparently went from 3 to 2, but with reduced turnout. It is not clear if the party of the PM, Frédéric Coriü participated.* This doesn't matter as it was already only an essentially superfluous junior party in a large coalition of "centrist" parties, headed by the King's PC, which remained the largest party without gaining a majority. The first and least convincing of various Talossan liberal parties is apparently supported by the King as a sort of decoy party basically supporting the status quo. The Black Hand is part of the coalition as well. Regardless of what happens to FUN the other parties are all still the same, get roughly the same result (only TNP and PC lose some votes). According to Ár Päts the coalition even manages to continue without the Liberals but still lead by Coriü. None of the future changes in Talossa have anything to do with this election result. The PC may not be as dominant as it would become yet but Ben comfortably holds the reigns in Talossa.
Turnout: 11(db)* (-4)*
Votes / percentage:
Progressive Conservative Party (PC): 4 (-2) / 36.4%(db)* (-3.6)
Democratic Dandipractic Party (DDP): 2 / 18.2%(db)* (+4.9)
Liberal Party (PL): 2 / 18.2%(db)* (+4.9)
Talossan Nationalist Party (TNP): 2 (-1) / 18.2% (db)* (-1.8)
Black Hand Party (BH): 1 / 9.1% (db)* (+2.4)
Front Uni pour la Nation: -- (-1) / -- (db)* (-6.7)
* Ár Päts gives different percentages. For one it suggests the results lead to a PC/FUN/BH coalition getting 53.8 of seats. This could mean 13 rather than 11 voters with either BH or FUN getting two more votes than listed in the database (giving a total of 7 votes for the coalition, 7/13 = 53.8). It also mentions a percentage of only 25.1 of the votes for the PC and 14.1 for the DDP. Both those numbers are impossible for any realistic size of the electorate. My guess would be that two FUN votes (including Coriü's) somehow went missing in the database.
