Codifying the Electoral System; First past the post to ensure stability.

As Constitutional Democracy looms, the big question has been how the electoral system will work. This week, the Enescu Government has presented it's answer. Instead of embracing the chaos, albeit diverse choice that is proportional representation and allowing a multi party democracy to form, it's been chosen to go for first past the post. While this means a multi party democracy can form, usually this is rare. As such, all districts for the Royal Assembly and Royal Senate will be single member districts, winner takes all, and redistricting will be handled by an independent federal commission. Due to the nature of first past the post, no electoral threshold will be present.
Alongside this, campaign regulations will be established, with a strict cap on spending, equal media time being required, public funding for all registered parties, and private donations being allowed, but capped and public. The last thing the Tripartite Kingdoms need is oligarchy and corruption. These campaign laws will ensure corruption doesn't take root and oligarchy is curbed. While no elections are yet to occur, and other parties are starting to form, due to FPTP being embraced, it's likely that the first elections would be a race between PAP and the CPTK.
Whatever the case, radicalism and corruption cannot spread to the electoral system, and this system will ensure that. Or, at the very least, prevent it from becoming a major issue. This electoral system will apply to all of the Tripartite Kingdoms, most especially for Federal and Kingdom elections.
