'''Federal elections''' were held in [[Gylias]] on 22 January 1980, to elect the 395 members of the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] and 400 members of the [[Gylian Senate|Senate]].

Held amidst the [[wretched decade]], the bitter campaign ultimately produced little change: the [[Aén Ďanez government]] was reconstituted despite mutual hostility between the {{G-RR}} and {{G-PA}}. Growing support for the far-right {{G-FROS}}, which increased its seat tally, was a cause for concern.

==Electoral system==
Both chambers of the [[Gylian Parliament]] were elected through {{wpl|single transferable vote}}, using the {{wpl|Droop quota}}.

The [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] was elected using 5-member ''circonscriptions'', drawn by [[Elections Gylias]] based on [[Regions of Gylias|regional]] populations.

The [[Gylian Senate|Senate]] was elected by [[Regions of Gylias|regions]], each electing 20 senators.

Parties were not allowed to nominate more than one candidate per seat. Candidates were not allowed to run for both chambers simultaneously.

==Background==
The late 1970s had seen the end of the [[Golden Revolution]] and the beginning of the [[wretched decade]]. The coalition between the {{G-RR}} and {{G-PA}}, with [[Aén Ďanez]] as [[Prime Minister of Gylias|Prime Minister]], was torn by deep-seated hostilities, as both blocs sought to undermine each other. The feuding began to affect public services; morale worsened among [[Gylian administrative agencies|administrative agencies]] and ministerial incompetence added to woes. The economy began to suffer; growth rates declined from 6,4% in 1976 to 1,2% in 1980.

The RR started from a position of weakness: while it had narrowly won a plurality in the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] in [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976]], its parties individually received middling support, lagging behind larger parties like the {{G-DCP}} and {{G-CNP}}. Since the [[Aén Ďanez government]] was a minority, it had to water down much of its program to hope to attract [[Non-inscrits (Gylias)|non-inscrit]] support. The RR's performance at the [[Gylian regional elections, 1978|1978 regional elections]] was also poor, as it returned only 6 [[Regions of Gylias#Government|governors]].

In spite of these weaknesses, Aén took a confrontational approach, seeking to push Gylias towards a more statist leftist model. While little of its program would be achieved, this made her a disruptive presence due to her fights with civil society, [[Communal assemblies (Gylias)|communal assemblies]], [[Municipalities of Gylias#Government|municipal]] and [[Regions of Gylias#Government|regional]] governments. This was a dangerous course to take, but at the same time she used it to mobilise and harden her base of support.

New political forces emerged out of frustration with the wretched decade, especially among {{G-NI}}. Several [[Populism in Gylias#Right-wing populism|right-wing populist]] "molehill parties" appeared, including the {{G-AFP}}, {{G-PFT}}, and {{G-PFF}}. {{G-PP-CM}} was established by [[Anarchism in Gylias|anarchists]] digusted with the PA's participation in government, regardless of their stated goal to isolate and "restrain" the RR. The {{G-HP}} was created in backlash against the {{G-FROS}}'s use of [[Gylian nationalism#Gylicism|Gylicism]] and [[Religion in Gylias#Religion and politics|religion as a wedge issue]].

==Campaign==
The campaign was marred by remarkable bitterness between the RR and PA, even though the two were ostensibly coalition partners. The PA continued to be marred by internal disarray, and participation in the government produced two factions: the "coalitionists" and "oppositionists".

The RR maintained the [[Populism in Gylias#Left-wing populism|left-wing populist]] style that had served them well four years before. Despite now being in government, they took an "{{wpl|anti-establishment}}" line to mobilise their existing support; observers noted that the bloc largely abandoned attempts to try to win new supporters. Aén treated the campaign as a proxy for the struggle with the PA, going so far as to urge RR supporters to not preference the PA. This resulted in a significant amount of {{wpl|undervote}}s and exhausted ballots from RR supporters.

The {{G-NB}} continued their [[Conservatism in Gylias#Hannaism|Hannaist]] line and carried out a campaign centred around their charismatic leader [[Lea Kersed]], a tenacious opponent of Aén and advocate of a {{wpl|grand coalition}} of conservatives, leftists, liberals, and centrists. The {{G-LU}} and {{G-CG}} still hadn't recovered from the losses of [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976]], and thus struggled to be heard in a highly polarised campaign environment.

The backlash against the RR's hardline rhetoric benefited the {{G-FROS}}, now advantaged by a charismatic leader and a strategy of moderating its extremist image to remain within the bounds of the law. This led to fierce competition with {{G-ARENA/meta/shortname}}, which remained popular as a protest vote and thus siphoned off the support FROS was aiming to attract.

The {{G-NI}} group saw the emergence of new parties, both "molehill parties", and others, such as the {{G-APP}} (a close ally of the {{G-GP}}), {{G-HP}}, and {{G-PP-CM}}. PP-CM in particular adopted a strategy of mainly targeting PA seats to punish the bloc for being part of the coalition government.

==Results==
In accordance with electoral law, the results were embargoed until the full counting and transfers were completed, and were released all at once on 26 January.

===Analysis===
Despite the rancour of the campaign, the final results showed little change from 1976. The RR once again won a narrow plurality of first preference votes in the Chamber of Deputies, increasing their lead over the PA. However, Aén's encouragement of supporters undervoting backfired, gaining only one seat in each chamber. The NB again finished a comfortable third, although Lea was disappointed by the modest improvements: increases of 1% in first preference votes for both chambers, and a gain of 8 deputies and 9 senators. However, the NB did take comfort in now being the second-largest electoral bloc in the senate, one seat behind the PA.

The dramatic swings of the last election gave way to more modest ones, in the range of 1% to 3%. The LU tied with the CG for deputies but won only 10,6% of first preference votes, their worst performance. The non-inscrits lost 11 deputies in total but gained 9 senators. Despite their high-profile media campaign, the PP-CM fell short of their ambition of pressuring the PA, although they became the third largest non-inscrit party, making for a respectable entrance into Parliament. The "molehill parties" performed poorly, failing to win any deputies and only winning seats in the Senate.

The FROS hit 1% of first preference votes and increased their seats in both chambers. Most of its tally was due to the {{G-ACFF}}, but for the first time the {{G-MNA}}, {{G-RU}}, and {{G-RLN}} won a seat each.

At the regional level, contradictory trends of consolidating support and weakened pluralities were in evidence. The RR kept their pluralities in the northern ''circumscriptions'' and took pluralities in the previously tied [[Ḑarna Region|Ḑarna]] and [[Nauras Region|Nauras]]. Elsewhere, the PA secured pluralities in [[Sváen Region|Sváen]] and [[Nezyál Region|Nezyál]], while non-inscrits, mainly leftist, took pluralities in [[Mişeyáke Region|Mişeyáke]] and [[Herlan Region|Herlan]]. The NB won all seats in [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]], and 3 seats in [[Nauras Region|Nauras]], ending their previous confinement to Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk. However, this meant that the FROS won seats in the mainland.

==Aftermath==
The new Parliament was sworn in on 1 February 1980. Between the RR's gain of one deputy and the PA's loss of 5, the [[Aén Ďanez government]] was largely returned intact. However, the PA defected on the first approval vote and voted against the government, causing Parliament to reject it. [[President of Gylias|President]] [[Seşas Ríseu]] then gave a mandate to Lea, who proposed a PA–LU–CG–NB grand coalition. The PA gave this serious consideration, worried about their loss of support reflected in the challenge of the PP-CM. However, the internal vote went narrowly against the grand coalition.

With the mandate returned to Aén, the PA used their defection to push for more concessions, deepening the grudge between the two blocs. In the end, the coalition was reconstituted and narrowly secured parliamentary confidence. However, this caused a public backlash and revealed the weak position of the PA, struggling with finding suitable replacements for the formidable figures of the Golden Revolution. The "oppositionists" grew vocal in advocating that the PA reconstitute itself in opposition rather than carry on damaging its reputation in government.
