Notes
- Compared to People's Alliance–Liberal Party totals in the 1986 regional election.
- Compared to the combined totals of People's Party and Alavese Unity in the 1998 regional election.
- Compared to People's Coalition totals in the 1986 general election.
gollark: No it doesn't. Politicians can happily get away with not doing this.
gollark: Yes, that was a bit odd. I think heav was going for (based on DMs) "it might be offensive if some exist and some don't" but I don't consider this much of a problem myself.
gollark: Clamping down heavily on any "rule violations" is not a very sensible response to people being unhappy about aspects of your administration.
gollark: You seem to mostly just insist that people disagreeing with you are being unconstructive.
gollark: Excpet uqb's.
