Patriotism and social values shape up campaigns as confederal parties hold their coventions, PCP collapses in polls while HMDP rises: echoes of the Tsardom

Rodashyam, Radin. As the third confederal elections in Nadiya's history begin to peak over the horizon, the 13 officially registered confederal parties have all began extensively campaigning across the federation. However what stood out the most for this electoral season was the hyper focus on Nadiyan patriotism and traditional matriarchal social values as thousands of posters, ads, and videos have been spotted across Nadiya which praised the Nadiyan family and the Nadiyan people by making sure to showcase the "average" Nadiyan be it a doctor, teacher, school director, Househusband, or military general. The trend was first started by the far right Hosian Matriarchist Democratic Party whose primary slogan is "Keep Nadiya Great Forever" with their sponsored events, posters, and ads always becoming viral across social media and especially with the youth and women that see the party as the defender of Nadiya and its people. As a result, the other parties have also tried copying the HMDP strategy by showcasing people from Nadiya with differing levels of success like the All-Nadiyan Communist Party trying to turn voters by promoting the idea of the proletarian Nadiyan and the proletariat family, then you have the Servants of Nadiya party absolutely failing at successful mimicking the success of the HMDP campaign as polls have shown that most Nadiyans considered their campaign attemp as "wildly out of character" and a "cheap attempt to mimic the trendsetters". Not only that, but the recent party conventions of the People's Pact for Nadiya and the Pastels Coalition for Progress has shown the deep divide within those two coalitions as the more conservative parties, namely the All-Nadiyan Communist Party and the Matriarchal Utopian Party, have called for the coalitions fo adopt a more right-wing social and republican stance due to the recent Amethyst wave hitting the republics of Radin and Brakav which both saw their progressive governments toppled in the ballots in favor of the local conservative parties. Radin held it's legislative elections in July of 5668 which saw the Radinese Party for Rebirth and Progress aka Rebirth win in a landslide as they secured 250 seats out of the 490 State Duma thus allowing them to roll back most of the gender equality measures that ensured men had equal rights to women and were safe from persecution but it also allowed for the Duma to fire the old president and replace him with a more conservative one that now allows the rebirth party to fully attack men's rights; In Brakav it's the same story with Social Democratic Alliance of Brakav ousting the long-standing Egelion coalition composed of the People's Justice Party, the Green Movement of 52 and the Pacifist Party, the SDAB then proceeded to immediately fire the president through a motion of no confidence with the support of the Brakavan Metzist Party that helped them secure the 200 votes needed for a 2/3 majority, now the artist republic has struck down most of the legal safeguards to gender equality and packed the supreme court of the republic which effectively killed all hopes for the restoration of those rights in the republic. With 2 out of the 3 remaining "gender equal" republics falling to the Matriarchist conservative agenda, this resulted in the PCP falling in the polls dramatically with a Vmeste poll having them at only 15,3% while HMDP surpassed them by being 26% in voting intentions while Putilova enjoys record breaking approval ratings. Nadiya seems to be shifting right but will the Confederation fall to the amethyst wave?
