In the [[Aguda Empire]], a '''flycatcher''' ([[Ziba]]: ''ngemuozaibungai'' {{wp|Help:IPA|[ŋəmɯɒzaibɯŋai]}}) was a person {{wp|employment|employed}} in a {{wp|household}} ostensibly to catch {{wp|flies}} and other {{wp|pests}}. However, later on in history, their role became that of {{wp|reputation|prestige}} symbol or {{wp|sexual objectification|sexual object}}, or even {{wp|sex worker}}, to an extent that this supplanted their role as {{wp|pest control}}. Flycatchers were generally young {{wp|men}}, seen as having the fast reactions, {{wp|dexterity}} and {{wp|endurance|physical endurance}} to do the job.  
The '''1980 Piraean general election''' was the first democratic election of [[Second Piraean Republic|Piraea]] after the {{wp|military dictatorship}} to elect the members of the [[Piraean Senate|Piraean Courts]] (now Senate) and the new premier of the republic. It was extraordinarily held on 1 February 1980 and marked the start of the [[Piraea]]n {{wp|metapolitefsi}}.  


Flycatchers were a symbol of a household's {{wp|wealth}}, {{wp|sophistication}} and {{wp|Taste_(sociology)|taste}}, and most of their role was simply to be seen (or even just known about), by visitors, passers-by and other members of the household. They were appreciated for their looks both by their employers and guests, and might in some sense be regarded as {{wp|living statue|living sculptures}}. By their character and appearance, flycatchers advertised their employers' aesthetic refinement or sexual preferences. They were also expected variously to actually catch flies and deal with other pests (such as {{wp|mosquitoes}}, {{wp|spiders}}, {{wp|rodents}}), to help with errands around the household, to be {{wp|entertainment|entertaining}} for guests and household members (such as by {{wp|conversation}} or physical feats, such as fly-catching tricks), and to provide sexual services for members of the household or guests. If expected to provide {{wp|sexual activity|sex}}, flycatchers generally had considerable control over when, where and how, in more the manner of a liaison (extramarital sex was broadly not illicit in Aguda society). The roles of flycatchers varied considerably from household to household and from time to time, dependent on the particular {{wp|negotiation|negotiated}} relationship between them and their employers, especially as the coy fiction was maintained that they were primarily pest control employees.

Most voted-for party by region in Piraea proper.

The 1980 Piraean general election was the first democratic election of Piraea after the military dictatorship to elect the members of the Piraean Courts (now Senate) and the new premier of the republic. It was extraordinarily held on 1 February 1980 and marked the start of the Piraean metapolitefsi.

The elections were agreed in 1979, after the military junta lost the national plebiscite in which it sought to legitimise a new leader. In September of 1979, the two largest parties of Piraea, the PSEE and the People's Party, signed, together with other minor legal parties, the conditions for the transition under the Hankssun 300 Pact; the military junta agreed the disassociation from the new government and institutions on the conditions of inmunity and the outlaw of the Piraese Section of the Workers' International. Most of the members of the illegal PTED participated under the Progressive Federation platform together with other clandestine leftist minor groups.

After the general elections the 1st Legislature of the Piraean Senate were formed, with an absolute majority from the People's Party, which counted with the PSEE as the main opposition party. The new premier, Ioannis Apostolou was invested with the votes of LK and Centre Union, while the post-Functionalist far-right proposed their abstention.
