'''Federal elections''' were held in [[Gylias]] on 22 January 1969, to elect the 285 members of the [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] and 400 members of the [[Gylian Senate|Senate]].

The incumbent [[Darnan Cyras government]] was re-elected with minor losses at the height of the [[Golden Revolution]]. The main highlight of the election was the appearance of the {{G-LSDP}}, whose tongue-in-cheek campaign and platform made it the largest [[Non-inscrits (Gylias)|non-inscrit]] party, thus cementing the [[Political culture of Gylias#Elections|colourful character of Gylian elections]].

==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.

==Background==
In the 7 years since the [[Gylian federal election, 1962|previous federal election]], the [[Golden Revolution]] had begun, and was in full flower. The combination of [[Economy of Gylias#Economic miracle|a booming economy]] with radical {{wpl|social revolution}} translated into a climate of widespread prosperity and revolutionary exuberance, notably manifested in a [[Groovy Gylias|flourishing pop culture scene]] that [[Gylian Invasion|found success abroad]], and transformation of [[Gender and sexuality in Gylias|transformation of gender and sexual norms]].

Although the [[Darnan Cyras government]] benefited from good domestic conditions, the consolidation of the [[Gylian consensus]], and its role in encouraging the Golden Revolution, it was not completely unchallenged during this time. The big {{wpl|electoral bloc}}s increasingly lost ground to the {{G-NI}} once the unique circumstances of the [[Gylian federal election, 1962|1962 federal election]] dissipated, a trend first visible in [[Elections in Gylias#Municipal elections|local elections]]. The government's turn towards a {{wpl|withering away of the state}} position in the last years of the [[Liberation War (Gylias)|Liberation War]] caused lingering controversy, which erupted in a brief flaring of protests by [[Anarchism in Gylias#Others|"anarchaotics"]] in 1968.

Inspired by contemporary protests in [[Akashi]] and [[Delliria]], the "anarchaos" protests were unsuccessful — broadly unpopular due to their {{wpl|egoist anarchism|egoist}} tendency, unclear grievances, and attempts to instigate fights with the widely-respected [[Gylian Police]]. The government partly defused the protests by organising a [[List of Gylian referendums#1968|referendum]] in September 1968 on "abolition of the state" and encouraging voters to vote invalidly, resulting in its invalidation. The "anarchaotics" founded the {{G-LSDP}} as a political vehicle, but were quickly expelled due to a factional battle, and the party instead adopted [[acid communism]] as its main ideology.

The protests also benefited the {{G-ARENA}}, which leveraged its image-based politics and lack of clear ideology to win support from voters who were exasperated with "anarchaotics", and would've otherwise been inclined to support more right-wing parties.

Another significant political force to emerge was the {{G-MED}}, which seized [[Populism in Gylias#Left-wing populism|left-wing populist]] ground with its {{wpl|economic nationalism}} and the charismatic leadership of [[Maria Elena Durante]]. Before the election, it formed a {{wpl|political alliance}} with the {{G-NPP}}; the two parties fielded joint candidates and ran a united campaign.

==Campaign==
[[File:Gylias-elections-federal-1969-PAposter.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The ''petite république'' poster created by the {{G-PA}}]]

With the [[Golden Revolution]] ongoing, the established electoral blocs' campaigns were compared by some commentators to a "comedown" from the heights of [[Gylian federal election, 1962|1962]]. Their collective manifestos were more modest in aims, and their campaigning took a more comfortably subdued tone.

The {{G-PA}}, as the incumbents, went into the election with comfortable advantages: high popularity, the successes of the Golden Revolution, respected cabinet ministers, and indirect support from the [[Revolutionary Communications Office]]. Their main challenge was described by the {{G-DCP}}'s [[Freeman family|Jessica Freeman]] as "revolutionary complacency": the risk of becoming too established as incumbents and losing touch with the popular agitation that drove the {{wpl|social revolution}}.

Their collective manifesto was the target of parodies: compared to the utopian goals of constructing a new society 7 years prior, it largely promised a continuation of the Golden Revolution, and its sole major promise was a reform of [[Local government in Gylias|local government]] to establish [[Regions of Gylias|regional]] governments. Nevertheless, its advantages seemed enough to see it through. Its high-budget [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPBs]] and posters became famous in the election, particularly the ''petite république'' poster, which personified Gylias as a young woman — closer to [[Ana (personification)|Ana]] than [[Lisa (personification)|Lisa]] — and successfully made the case for the government's collective "guardianship" until impending "maturity".

The {{G-LU}} took their usual role as pragmatic foils for the more utopian PA. This campaign saw them play down economic policy — found to not make much headway among the current electorate — in favour of themes of political reform, individual liberties, and a philosophy of rights. They supported the establishment of regional governments, but their proposals to reduce the threshold for constituting [[Municipalities of Gylias#Government|municipal government]] were less popular, and rejected in a [[List of Gylian referendums#1968|1968 referendum]].

The {{G-CG}} were a known quantity as the official opposition, and [[Sasa Ruişela]] proved a foresitter in the vein of [[Beatrice Albini]]: commanding broad public respect that failed to translate at the ballot box. By this point, the ongoing [[Conservatism in Gylias#Gylias|"constructive"–"recalcitrant" war]] and resulting concentration of centre-right politicians in the CG frustrated Gylian centrists, one of whom remarked, "We have a left bloc, a centre-left bloc, a centre-right bloc, and a right bloc, but no centre."

The {{G-RR}}, {{G-CC}}, and {{G-FROS}} remained marginalised, and practically nonentities during the campaign. The RR's anti-"anarchaos" stance in 1968 backfired on it, by worsening its perception as "{{wpl|old left}} dinosaurs", obsessed with economics and reactionary on social issues. The compositions of the CC and FROS changed slightly due to certain parties being shut down for anti-constitutional activities.

The {{G-NI}} proved the stars of the campaign, and the new {{G-LSDP}} its main attraction. Boasting an [[acid communism|acid communist]] stance and a charismatic foresitter in [[Hildegard Wirner]], the party used satire to make its point, and humorously embraced [[Drugs in Gylias|drugs]] as a force of revolutionary liberation. It ran on the slogan ''Gylias needs LSD'', and its platform included pledges to create {{wpl|Around the Moon|state-owned "oxygen clinics"}}, adding LSD to the national {{wpl|water supply}} (parodying conspiracies around {{wpl|water fluoridation}}), and establishing {{wpl|Sexually transmitted infection|Special Tourist Districts}} for [[Tourism in Gylias|sex tourism]].

[[Maria Elena Durante]] campaigned heavily for the MED–NPP alliance, and her [[Populism in Gylias#Left-wing populism|left-wing populist]] platform and {{wpl|demagogue}} rhetoric found an appeal among voters who were skeptical of the Golden Revolution's ambitions, but were not {{wpl|social conservatism|social conservatives}} or reactionaries. Similarly, the {{G-ARENA}} benefited from attracting voters who were exasperated by the "anarchaotics" but staunchly opposed to right-wing parties; [[Emilia Malandrino]] even used the [[Politics of Gylias#Party political broadcasts|PPBs]] to promote ARENA as a harmless protest vote.

==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 25 January.

===Analysis===
The results of [[Gylian federal election, 1962|1962]] were largely repeated: no bloc won a majority by itself, the PA maintained their plurality in both chambers, and the LU remained close behind in first preference votes. Although the CG finished third in first preference votes, they managed to win 4 more deputies than the LU, advancing them to second-largest bloc in the Chamber of Deputies.

Despite first preference vote losses of 3%–5% for the Chamber of Deputies and 6% for the Senate, the PA–LU alliance managed to hold on to most of its seats. The PA only lost one deputy, while the LU lost 7 deputies and 5 senators.

The non-inscrits performed best, and the LSDP played a key role in this, becoming the largest non-inscrit party. The non-inscrit bloc's first preference vote increased by over 10% in both chambers, although due to the multiple parties and electoral system, it translated into modest gains: 10 new deputies and 9 new senators. Other notable beneficiaries were ARENA and the MED–NPP alliance, both of which won the maximum 20 Senate seats possible for a party.

The RR and CC experienced further losses, while the FROS remained stagnant.

At the regional level, the PA once again swept mainland Gylias while the LU held their strongholds of [[Arxaþ Region|Arxaþ]], [[Alţira Region|Alţira]], and [[Elena Region|Elena]], and the CG its stronghold of [[Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk Region|Nerveiík-Iárus-Daláyk]]. The non-inscrits built on their previous performance, winning a plurality of deputies in [[Nauras Region|Nauras]], [[Kausania Region|Kausania]], and [[Tandar Region|Tandar]], and coming a close second in [[Mişeyáke Region|Mişeyáke]], [[Nezyál Region|Nezyál]], and [[Herlan Region|Herlan]].

Many [[Anarchism in Gylias|anarchist]]-leaning voters dissatisfied with the PA's performance in government switched to the LSDP.

==Aftermath==
The new Parliament was sworn in on 1 February 1969. The [[Darnan Cyras government]] was returned with minor losses: it held onto a majority in the Chamber of Deputies and was now 7 seats short a majority in the Senate.

The CC was destroyed by the election: reduced to only one deputy, it underwent {{wpl|entryism}} by "constructives" and its member parties were all abolished, replaced by the {{wpl|progressive conservatism|progressive conservative}} {{G-NB}}. This ushered a period of political realignment, with many centre-right politicians previously elected under the CG, non-inscrit, or independent banner joining the NB parties instead, leaving the CG as a centrist formation. The NB performed very well in the [[List of Gylian regional elections#1970|first regional elections of 1970]], [[List of Gylian municipal elections#1970|municipal elections of 1970]], and the [[Gylian presidential election, 1975|presidential election of 1975]], raising expectations they would become a serious contender in the next federal election.

The MED's campaign approach and results are seen by historians as a forerunner of the RR's rise during the [[wretched decade]]; indeed when the MED disbanded due to Maria Elena's death in 1972, much of its former support transferred to the RR.
