HISTORY

=
The Chann family dominated the GDP leadership 3181-3600, not entirely implausible given that the party was founded by the Channs. But the 3600's brought to view the fracturing of the family into various clans, for as the family grew larger it branched off into different clans, mainly the Fuwan and Nukeyan clans (two branches of the family adopted the names of their respective states in which their families were mainly based).

3610-3620 saw the Fuwan clan at the head of the party, but the 3619 elections proved fatal to their power as the Nukeya clan swept the party elections and went on to win vast majorities in the inter-party organization. The rift in the party unfortunately spilled into the general election of 3620 where GDP's nearly 30 year rule. The Solentian Nationalist Party swept in claiming 68 seats of the 100 seat senate, leaving the GDP severely weakened with only 32.

The Election of 3625 saw a GDP resurgence as the SNP party was unable to govern and collapsed as a result. The GDP captured all 100 seats. For the next decade, the GDP again saw no political competition and settled once more into a clan power struggle.

The Fuwan Clan mounted a large comeback, even forcing Grand Consul Soto Nukeya to retire in 3640, after 20 years as GC. Mao Fuwan won the leadership and in turn won the election, even with the Solent National Party mounting opposition.

RESURGENCE (3758-3762)

The GDP made a resurgence as the Chann National Party and in the Year of the Golden Tide (Election 3758), won majorities in every state and won the presidential election. Efforts toward shared governance with the other parties came to a standstill as the UDP and SPP joined in opposition to the CNP. Two cabinet proposals were shot down before the UDP and SPP authorized a cabinet composed completely of CNP members.

President Mao-Xin Fuwan pushed forward a spending bill and a supplement to increase spending for education and healthcare by $15 Billion (Spending Bill:http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=421985 and Supplement: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=422030)

One of the chief accomplishments of President Fuwan's first two years in office was the passage of a landmark immigration reform bill (Open Arms Act:http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=421883) which laxed the governments active searching of illegals. He later pushed through a comprehensive immigration reform bill (Immigration & Wage Reform Act of 3760: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=422109) which also raised wages for every worker to a living wage well above the poverty line. The SPP proved a valuable ally in these initiatives.

In foreign affairs, President Fuwan built closer ties with Indrala in the far east with the ratification of the Indralan-Solentian Shipping & Deep Sea Oil Exploration Treaty (http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=2878).

CNP WINS PRESIDENCY, MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT (3762-3766)

Solentians woke up this morning having issued an astounding referendum on CNP governance, granting it a clear mandate in both the elections for president and parliament.

Samrin Chann proved so popular and the CNP platform so visible that voters went without a second round, electing President Chann with 50.73% of the votes. Frank Williams of the UDP came in second with 28% and David Johnsson came in third with 21%.

President Chann was successful in casting himself in the shadow of President Mao-Xin Fuwan, who had served only one term and is now retired from politics and has accepted a position as Regent of Chann University.

In Parliament, the CNP grew its majority from 110 to 117 seats, a 52% majority. Wei Fuwan, the speaker, credited the growing majority to the relevance the party displayed,

"We might not personally agree with where the nation stands on markets and government responsibilities, but this is a democracy and we must do the bidding of the people."

3766-3769

Samrin Chann was ousted as the party leader and Mao Xin Fuwan came out of retirement to lead the party once again.

3769-3773

Mao Xin Fuwan won in the second round against the UDP's Frank Williams 56.32% to 43.52%, roughly 13 point lead.

3773-3777

Mao Xin Fuwan won in the second round against the SPP's Oscar Lindman 58.10% to 41.71%, a 17 point lead.

3777-3779

Mao Xin Fuwan won in the first round against the three parties that split the vote. He won 51.70%, ruling out the need for a second round. The UDP's George Crowley was a distant second at 23.95%.
