1958 Colombian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 16 March 1958 to elect the Senate and Chamber of Representatives.[1] They were the first elections held under the National Front agreement,[2] which only allowed the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party to contest the elections, and allocated 50% of the seats in both houses to each party.[3] As a result, the main contest at the elections was between factions within each party.[3]

gollark: It's not actually encryption, unless you count ROT13 as encryption, in which case it is and please stop talking now.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/EGPpcZbNLOLcrypt - it encodes arbitrary bytestrings as sequences of differently-capitalized LOLs and punctuation.
gollark: <@278889690596376576> I'm shown in the player list when I'm not actually on, and when I try to join it's stuck on logging in.
