The 2449 High Kingdoms legislative election was held on 11 November 2449 to elect 530 congressional district representatives to the House of Representatives in the High Kingdoms of Alaxia. It was the first ever legislative election held in the union, and was held simultaneously with the presidential election and other provincial, federal, and devolved elections. While no single party won an overall majority of the seats, the ensuing Golden Coalition of centre to centre-left liberals would have a combined seat count of 291 seats, a majority of 50. This gave President Clemenceau Richelieu, who was also a Liberal, great power over the legislature. Gõçal Bitraş, the Leader of the Liberal Party of Ahitereira and Koresa, became Premier of the House of Representatives in a vote 291–239 on 1 January 2450.
19 parties won seats in the election, with an independent winning a seat.
Background
The legislative election was the first and was therefore very hard to predict for pollsters and political parties. Independents could not run in this general election, with only approved political parties being able to be placed on the ballot. To do this, the political party must also hold at least 1 seat in the parliament of the same constituent country as the constituency they want to run in. The election would be held on 11 November 2449, and the requirement would require the seat of parliament to be held on the date of 30 September 2449 regardless of any upcoming elections that may take place between that date and the legislative election. The only exception was the National parties, which were allowed to be on the ballot to represent anti-unionist views.
The primary issues that the campaign was fought on in most regions was the completion of the constitution, the approval rating of incumbent president Richelieu, and on the founding principles of federal law. Because the constitution was unfinished and the federal government new, parties had different approaches on how to take the federal government. The Red Bloq favoured a strong central government which would take control of the welfare state to ensure citizens across the country had equal access to these services, while the Liberals preferred these to be handled by constituent countries, or even provinces in certain cases, so that domestic governments could have different laws for local needs. However, as the President was part of the Liberal party, they were very soft on their wants for the central government and preferred to campaign around their incumbent personality and ride off of the popularity of the Liberals in the nation already. The Liberals actually did not put out a manifesto in order to not tie down their beliefs and change their opinions as needed to give them as much power while in office. The Conservative party were similar to the Liberal approach regarding the constitution and favoured a smaller government with lesser day-to-day running of countries, but with the power to intervene in terms of the judiciary and important matters such as law and order.
Smaller parties would campaign around larger-scale issues. The Pink Daphnes for example did not have an official stance on the constitution, rather wanting to campaign on enshrining women's rights into law and pushing for reform to countries such as Kiavalar through the central government mechanism. The Bokanists too didn't have an official stance, but wanted protections for Bokanists and pushed for certain laws to be passed nationwide. The Alliance party, having no chance in government, advocated for a coalition government so that the final constitution could be the product of collaboration, as it had been thus far. No party elaborated on any speculation of coalitions, preferring to keep their options open.
