'''Federal elections''' were held in [[Gylias]] on 22 January 1990, to elect the 500 members of the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] and 400 members of the [[Gylian Senate|Senate]].

A {{wpl|realigning election}} in the wake of the [[wretched decade]] and the [[Ossorian war crisis]], it marked a breakthrough for {{G-NI}}, who gained a plurality of votes and seats for the first time. Voters punished established blocs for their part in the wretched decade, with the {{G-PA}} and {{G-NB}} suffering severe swings against them. [[Mathilde Vieira]] became Prime Minister at the head of a [[Mathilde Vieira government|"plural coalition"]] of [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] and non-inscrits.

==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 [[wretched decade]] ended in 1986, when the [[Ossorian war crisis]] of 1986 galvanised the opposition and toppled the [[Aén Ďanez government]]. The [[Filomena Pinheiro government]] was formed as a {{wpl|grand coalition}} comprising every formation but the {{G-RR}}, {{G-FROS}}, and [[Populism in Gylias#History|"molehill parties"]]. The remainder of the 1980s was largely spent remedying the damage caused by the wretched decade both domestically and internationally. Although the crisis dissipated, Filomena did not implement major changes beyond her mandate as an interim Prime Minister, and these became the main topic of the upcoming election.

Political realignments of various degrees also occurred in the run-up to the election. Filomena's crackdown on the RR and FROS destroyed them as political forces and removed them from Parliament, causing the 5th Parliament to finish with a dramatically different composition than it was first elected. The ''[[dérive au droite]]'' and exposure of the [[neoliberal conspiracy]] caused a great scandal that similarly destroyed right-wing populist parties.

Established blocs suffered a backlash for their delayed action in ending the wretched decade. Although the {{G-NB}} had been the major beneficiary of the [[Gylian federal election, 1985|1985 federal election]], it had struggled with an internal rift between the [[Conservatism in Gylias#Hannaism|Hannaist]] {{G-CNP}}, {{G-NPR}}, and {{G-PDU}} and the increasingly {{wpl|neoliberalism|neoliberal}} {{G-FEP}} and {{G-IFP}}. The death of widely-respected leader [[Lea Kersed]] exposed the fracture, and the latter two split in 1989 to form the {{G-UFP}}. Although the NB had acted swiftly to reorganise itself and purge right-wingers, it still suffered from the fallout of the neoliberal conspiracy, and the need to replace a figure of Lea's stature.

Opinion polls since 1985 showed gains for the {{G-NI}} at the expense of the other blocs, with the NB being the last to maintain their standing until Lea's death. The unexpected beneficiary was the recently-founded {{G-NAF}}, whlie the debut of {{G-LND}} promised to bring a lighthearted note to the campaign. The NB–UFP split hit the NB's popularity, and helped non-inscrits widen their narrow lead to a comfortable 2–3%. The establishment of the [[Sigrid Eisen#Minor Party Alliance|Minor Party Alliance]] also heightened anticipation.

==Campaign==
The election was conducted in a notably festive atmosphere, reminiscent of the [[Golden Revolution]] that had largely been overwhelmed by the wretched decade. The dominant theme was how to best overcome the wretched decade and preserve the [[Gylian consensus]]. Among the front-runners, the {{G-PA}} used the slogan "restore ''eupraxia''", the {{G-LU}} adopted the slogan/unofficial theme song "{{wpl|Chega de Saudade}}" — partly in reference to half-Lusitan [[Gylian English|foresitter]] [[Mathilde Vieira]] — and the NAF promised to "build a bridge to the 21st century".

The campaign was notably personality-dominated to a greater extent than past elections, boasting a new crop of charismatic, media-savvy [[Gylian English|foresitter]]. [[Mathilde Vieira]]'s youth and credentials in the anti-Aén opposition proved a boon for the LU, while [[Regions of Gylias#Government|Governor]] of [[Nauras Region|Nauras]] [[Édith Champion]] ended the PA's long period of disarray and collective leadership. [[Mielikki Salonen]]'s campaign was described by [[Ŋéida Vaşad]] as "seemingly impervious to embarrassment" — she played along with jokes that the NAF was a {{wpl|Business-firm party|personal party}} and took advantage of caricatures depicting her as a {{wpl|soundbite}}-spouting technophile. One [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPB]] depicted her buttoning her coat to punctuate the NAF's platform, earning frequent parody but proving memorable.

One of the undoubted "stars" of the election was [[Moana Pozzi]], a famous [[Pornography in Gylias|pornographic]] actress that served as the foresitter of LND. Moana represented a playfully intrusive presence in the campaign, delivering innuendo-laced speeches and wearing physique-enhancing [[Kaede Nakano]] business suits that sent up the typical politician, much to audiences' delight. She famously used the slogan "If you want to waste your vote, vote for us!", explicitly seeking support from disillusioned and apathetic voters, and starred in one [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPB]] where she satirically discussed sex as if it was the economy, criticising other politicians for ignoring the "sex recession".

With the RR and FROS practically destroyed by Filomena's crackdowns, the UFP became the marginal figures of the election. Their right-wing profile and explicit advocacy of capitalism was met with hostility by the electorate; their candidates were frequently heckled and booed out of {{wpl|husting|public meetings}}, and their campaign rallies disrupted by others. They gained a reputation as "petty and joyless sociopaths" from their attacks on beloved institutions — including statements supporting the privatisation of [[Gyliair]] and [[Gylian National Rail and Transportation Services|GNRTS]] — and an incident where they reported LND's PPB to the [[Information Bureau]] for misinformation; the IB instead replied that the PPB was clearly a satirical {{wpl|short film}}, earning the UFP a flood of mockery.

==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===
In a historic result, the non-inscrits won a plurality of first preference votes for the first time in a federal election. Previously, they had secured pluralities in the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] since [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976]], but now they collectively won a majority of 255 seats, a gain of 119 over [[Gylian federal election, 1985|1985]]. Much of their breakthrough came from voters punishing the established blocs for their failures during the wretched decade, particularly the delay in overthrowing [[Aén Ďanez]] and the close scare of the [[neoliberal conspiracy]]. 

The [[Sigrid Eisen#Minor Party Alliance|Minor Party Alliance]] proved effective, and the biggest winner among non-inscrits was the {{G-NAF}}, which finished third overall. Similarly strong gains went to {{G-LND}}, the {{G-GP}}, {{G-PP-CM}}, and, somewhat surprisingly, {{G-ARENA/meta/shortname}}.

It was a night of mixed fortunes for established electoral blocs. The most disappointing night was for the NB, which lost 6% of first preference votes and 40 Chamber of Deputies seats, a result made worse by the great expectations of its first-place finish in 1985. Its decline was largely blamed on voters revolted by the ''[[dérive au droite]]'' and instead preferencing non-inscrits ahead, particularly the centre-right {{G-UNR}} and [[Anarchism in Gylias#Right anarchism|market anarchist]] parties. By contrast, the CG managed a small swing in its favour, although this meant it only gained a seat in the Chamber of Deputies and 6 in the [[Gylian Senate|Senate]].

[[Mathilde Vieira]] led the LU to second place overall, with a swing of 8,1% in first preference votes that brought less seats due to the non-inscrit gains. Nevertheless, it was a major victory, as it was the first time since the [[Popular Progressive Front]] that [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] had won more seats than the left-wing in a federal election. By contrast, the PA's first preference vote declined by only 0,1% in the Chamber of Deputies and 2,5% in the Senate, but it lost 22 deputies. Overall, it was considered a good result on account of the reputational damage the PA had suffered from participating in the Aén Ďanez government, and [[Édith Champion]] received credit for her vigorous campaigning.

Given the strong opprobrium earned by the UFP during the campaign, the fact that it managed to win 2% of first preference votes and 3 seats in each chamber was somewhat remarkable, although their poor result brought renewed mockery. Given the crackdowns carried out by the Filomena Pinheiro government, less surprising was that the RR and FROS collapsed to less than 1% of first preference votes, and were shut out of Parliament entirely. 

Regionally, the electoral map was scrambled by the non-inscrits' breakthrough. 8 [[Regions of Gylias|regions]] returned ties, outnumbering the 6 regions with non-inscrit pluralities. The LU carried pluralities in [[Arxaþ Region|Arxaþ]], [[Alţira Region|Alţira]], and [[Elena Region|Elena]], but the PA fell behind non-inscrits in their traditional strongholds of [[Mişeyáke Region|Mişeyáke]], and managed a tie in [[Salxar Region|Salxar]], [[Makarces Region|Makarces]], [[Gacar Region|Gacar]], and [[Gerşyr Region|Gerşyr]]. It only carried [[Tomes Region|Tomes]] and [[Tandar Region|Tandar]]. For the first time, the NB failed to carry [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]], which was tied instead. Their tie in [[Ḑarna Region|Ḑarna]] was similarly disappointing in contrast to the continued success of [[Regions of Gylias#Government|Governor]] [[Margaret Roberts]]. Their only plurality was in [[Nauras Region|Nauras]].

==Aftermath==
The new Parliament was sworn in on 1 February 1990, once again with no obvious government to be formed. It was clear that the non-inscrits would play a significant role in the government formation, given their collective majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

[[Mathilde Vieira]] was first given the mandate to form a government. She aimed for a reconstruction of the old PA–LU–IRAM alliance of the [[Golden Revolution]], believing that would be the most reassuring option for Gylians. However, negotiations to include the PA in the coalition were unsuccessful, so she settled for accepting their {{wpl|confidence and supply}} from outside the government. Talks to include the NAF and LND progressed more smoothly, while she also reached out to the NB out of respect for their role in Filomena's grand coalition.

The final proposal presented to Parliament was unexpected. Mathilde proposed a LU–NAF–LND–IRAM minority cabinet, which would include a few ministers from the PA and NB without their full participation. Her shrewd negotiation paid off, and the cabinet was approved. Although this was a seemingly weak foundation for a government, Mathilde made it work through her proficiency at parliamentary negotiation and dealmaking. Her [[Mathilde Vieira government|"plural coalition"]] inaugurated an era nicknamed the "liquid Parliament", in which the other blocs took an ambiguous role, alternately supporting and opposing the government depending on issues, blurring the line between government and opposition.
