The Neeves are one of the largest and tallest mountain ranges in Euclea, with the height of the range seocnd only to the Aventines. The mountains span across northern Euclea, stretching approximately 1,030 km (644 mi) through five countries; Alsland, Borland, Estmere, Kirenia and Werania.

The mountain range has had a significant effect on the climate and history of northern Euclea. Lands to the south of the range, such as Estmerish Highlands, are significantly drier, as they are within the rain shadow of the Neeves. As a major barrier to movement, the range has been a natural border for centuries; forming part of the northern border of the Solarian Empire and acting as a major southern boundary to the Rudolphine Confederation. In modern history, the Neeves allowed for Longwoodshire to resist the Gaullican advance during the Great War.

There has also been significant human habitation of the Neeves, dating back to at least the Paleolithic. These inhabitants have embraced cultures unique to those living in the surrounding areas; and this has persisted into contemporary times. Traditional industries such as animal herding, cheesemaking and mining were particulaly impactful on creating a unique Neevan culture across borders.

The economy of the region shifted at the turn of the last century. Tourism, particularly that revolving around skiing, has emerged as the primary driver of economic growth in the region, with traditional industries declining. Despite this, the cultural identity of the region has remained distinct.

MP before election David Johnson Sotirian Democratic Union Subsequent MP Harry Peterson Greens

A Shoreham by-election was held on 11 July 1982. The by-election was caused by the death of David Johnson on 7 May 1982, who had been elected on behalf of the Sotirian Democratic Union as the Member of Parliament for Shoreham less than a year prior.

The seat was traditionally an SDU-Radical Liberal (and later Reform Party) marginal, but the approval of a new nuclear power plant near the seat (approved by the previous SDU government and upheld by the new Reform government) majorly shifted the balance of power in the seat. The local anti-nuclear movement became a major factor, and the power plant itself became a major issue in the campaign. The Greens were able to flex their anti-nuclear credentials and act as a protest vote for both liberal and conservative voters in the seat.

The by-election was notable in that it saw the Greens win their first parliamentary constituency, catapulting them from extra-parliamentary opposition. The result was an embarassment for the SDU, and to a lesser extent to the governing Reform Party. The power plant's construction was paused indefinitely, and the seat was ultimately gained by the Reform Party in the next election, with the Greens in fourth place.

Leader before election Esther Bennett Elected Leader Jim Reynolds

The 2021 Reform Party leadership election was held between 22 July and 4 August 2021 to elect a new leader of the Reform Party, after previous leader Esther Bennett resigned following the poor performance of the party in the 2021 general election.

A number of party members initially made known that they were interested in standing for the leadership. Former cabinet ministers Andrew Sinclair, Roseline Perrier, Nicola Ramsey and Marjanne Sudermann all put themselves forward for the leadership. On 12 July, party backbencher Jim Reynolds announced his intention to stand for the leadership as a unity candidate. Sinclair, Ramsey and Perrier withdrew and endorsed Reynolds.

Nominations closed on 18 July, with Reynolds and Sudermann as the only candidates. The final ballot saw Reynolds secure 72.8% of votes from the party membership, and he was declared as the new leader of the party on 4 August.

Background

The Reform Party had been led by Esther Bennett since her election as leader in October 2014. Bennett had succeeded former Prime Minister Daniel Hawkins. She sought to lead the party back to power in the 2016 general election, but was instead forced to sign a coalition deal with the Sotirian Democratic Union, her party's historic rivals.

Bennett served as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary from 2016 until 2021, with a number of other high-ranking Reform politicians serving in a number of roles in the cabinet, first under Richard Graham and then under Reginald Wilton-Smyth. Her party experienced a poor result in the 2018 election, and in the 2021 election Bennett lost her seat of Tolbury Outer. The party saw a 9.6% swing against them in the party preference vote, and a 6.8% swing against them in the constituency vote. The party lost 57 seats, and the party's tepid reponse to the gambled pensions scandal was partially blamed for this.

Bennett resigned as leader. Deputy leader Andrew Sinclair became acting leader, while party president Charles Crampton became responsible for organising a leadership election.

Procedure

The procedure for a leadership election is outlined in the party's Governing Directives. When Esther Bennett announced her intention to stand down as leader, the Executive Committee - chaired by Party President Charles Crampton - was called to action in order to establish a timetable. The Committee met on 5 June, and officially released the timetable on 7 June.

Elections for Reform Party leadership positions use preferential voting, with voters able to rank candidates in order of their preference. According to the Governing Directives, the electorate for internal elections is comprised of all who held party membership at the time nominations open, establishing an effective cut-off date for membership in this election of 24 June.

The directives also outline the requirements for candidates. They must be a federal MP, and have to recieved nominations from either 5% (2) of the parliamentary Reform Party, 10% (7) of the party's (or sister party's) elected representatives across the constituent entities, or more than 1,000 ordinary party members.

Timetable

Key dates in the leadership election are listed below:

28 May	Esther Bennett steps down
7 June	Executive Committee sets timetable
25 June	Nominations open
18 July	Nominations close
22 July	Voting begins
3 August	Voting ends
4 August	Results announced

Campaign

The first candidate to self-nominate for the position was Roseline Perrier, who announced her intention on 2 July. As former Euclean Secretary, Perrier said that her leadership would focus on "open, liberal leadership" and a "firm committment" to the Euclean Community. On 3 July, Marjanne Sudermann announced her candidacy. Sudermann is an ethnic Aldman, arguably one of the most high-profile Aldmans in Estmerish politics, and former Equalities Secretary. She claimed that protecting the rights of linguistic and ethnic minorities would form a key pillar to her leadership.

Party deputy leader and former Justice Secretary Andrew Sinclair put himself forward on 4 July, as the "moderate, free-thinking" alternative with "experience to spare". He was followed by Nicola Ramsey, the former Labour and Business Secretary, on 7 July, who had previously explored Reform's options with entering coalition with the SDCP, and is considered to be on the party's left.

On 12 July, Jim Reynolds announced his intention to seek the leadership. As the son of party founder Robert Reynolds and as Defence Secretary in the Second Reid ministry, Reynolds had been widely seen as a potential leader for some time. He announced his intention to "unite the party", by "returning to its roots". After he announced his intention to stand, Sinclair, Perrier and Ramsey all withdrew from the race on the same day and announced their support for Reynolds. Sudermann remained in the race.

Both candidates recieved enough nominations from MPs by 13 July. Reynolds had recieved more nominations than Sudermann by the close of nominations on 18 July.

Reynolds was considered the frontrunner among the final two candidates, having more name recognition and being the only candidate to have served in a Reform-led government. Sudermann was considered to be from the party's left, as a social liberal and a progressive, while Reynolds was seen as a party centrist and a unifying figure. Both candidates have criticised the party's coalition with the Sotirian Democratic Union; but Reynolds' criticism was seen as more authentic as, unlike Sudermann, he did not serve in Wilton-Smyth's government.

Amendist Reaction

The ideas and death of Estmerish amender Johanne Stearn contributed directly to the Reaction.

The Amendist Reaction, also known as the Amendist Reformation or the Amendist Schism, was a major schism in 1500s Sotirianity in which the pre-eminant and dominant Solarian Catholic Church was challenged by dissident religious leaders, in response to a number of percieved failings within the Church, such as Papal dynasties, indulgences, general corruption and a culture of excess. The Reaction saw the rise of Amendism as a major Sotirian denomination.

There is some debate about the exact begining of the Reaction. It is agreed to begin between 1506, when Johanne Stearn began preaching his heretical doctrine and 1514, when Stearn was excommunicated and martyred at the gates of Solaria. Prior to Stearn, there was also a number of earlier movements which attempted to amend the Church. Nevertheless, the death of Stearn after his Pilgrimage of Humility set much of the Reaction into motion, and Stearn's emergence as a martyr united the disparate amendist elements of northern Euclea, noble and lowborn alike, against the Church.

The Humble Petition and the Stearnian Bible both spread throughout the north, in part due to the invention of the printing press, which allowed for such religious materials to be quickly disseminated. A distinct Amendist Belt emerged across the north of the continent, with Estmere, Hennehouwe, Caldia, Azmara and much of Kirenia and Werania embracing the Reaction. Many new churches sprung up across the north, largely following a congregationalist structure. Eventually state churches emerged organised on different structures, such as the Church of Caldia and the Church of Azmara. These newly Amendist countries came into conflict with the Catholic continent, and the Amendist Wars were subsequently fought as the demand for free practice of religion was made.

To fill the void left by Stearn's death, a number of other leaders emerged, such as Hans Brúgel, Robert Welby, Johan Kasper and Seán Creag. These leaders contributed to the rise of different branches within Amendism, such as Gospelism, Kasperism and Embrianism. The exact end of the Reaction is disputed, but there is some consensus that it ended sometime following the Peace of Frankendorf, which put an end to the Amendist Wars.

Name

The events are most commonly described as the Amendist Reaction, as the movement aimed to amend the Church, in reaction to the Church's percieved failings. Amendist Reformation is also sometimes used, in reference to the amenders' attempts to reform the church. Amendist Schism is additionally sometimes used, generally by non-Amendists.

Alte Bruderschaft

Weranian Premier Otto von Hößlin (left) with former Estmerish Prime Minister Reginald Wilton-Smyth in 2018. Wilton-Smyth and von Hößlin were seen as particularly committed to the Alte Bruderschaft.

The Alte Bruderschaft (Estmerish: Old Brotherhood) is a term often used to describe the special relationship between Estmere and Werania, in the form of the close culutral, diplomatic, economic, political and military relations that the two nations share. Both countries share a historic relationship, and the two have shared an alliance in one form or another since Weranian Unification; as such, the two have participated jointly in a number of conflicts, such as the War of the Triple Alliance, the Great War, the Solarian War, the Kirenian-Weranian War and the Tsabaran Civil War.

The term was first coined by Weranian foreign minister Adolf Ritter von Kral in 1883, following the peaceful resolution of the Lake Edward dispute. It was used more broadly in the run up to the Great War The term has subsequently been used by leaders and commentators from both countries.

Historically, the bruderschaft has greatly influenced Euclea. Starting with Estmerish support for the unification of Werania, the relationship and alliance between the two countries would later serve as the primary anchor around which the Grand Alliance was built. The relationship was instrumental in Werania's accession to the Euclean Community, and within the EC the two countries have repeatedly acted together for their mutual interest.

The strength of the Alte Bruderschaft has fluctuated over time, and its political component is seen as dependent on the leadership of the two countries. There have been a number of particularly close relationships among the heads of government of the two countries, such as between Viktor Beer-Hofmann and Fabian Young, between Ludolf Ostermann and Robert Reynolds, between Heidi Reid and Rasa Šimonytė, and recently between Reginald Wilton-Smyth and Otto von Hößlin. Critics have disputed the extent of the Bruderschaft, particularly in terms of its political, diplomatic and military aspects.

Name and terminology

Weranian foreign minister Adolf Ritter von Kral made the first recorded use of the term in 1883, in conversation with the Estmerish ambassador and the Weranian press. This was following the conclusion of the Lake Edward dispute, in which Werania and Estmere peacefully resolved a colonial border crisis. Von Kral hailed the Alte Bruderschaft that the two nations shared. He made note of the shared history and culture of the two countries, commenting on the mutual influences on each nation's cuisine, culture and political systems. After it's use by von Kral, the term became widely used in both Estmere and Werania, and has been used by leaders and commentators from both countries since.

The Parliament of Estmere (Swathish: Folkmoot of Eastmarchon, Flurian: Parlement d'Estme) is the supreme bicameral legislative body of Estmere. Parliament consists of two chambers, the upper chamber being the Chamber of Peers and the lower chamber being the Chamber of Commons.

Parliament possesses legislative supremacy and parliamentary sovereignty. Among the two chambers, the Commons is considered supreme, drafts all legislation and can overrule the Chamber of Peers, in a case of imperfect bicameralism. Parliament meets in Parliament Building, in the Borough of the City of Morwall. Parliamentary terms can last for a maximum of four years, after which another election must be held.

The Chamber of Commons is elected through the additional member system, and therefore Members can be elected to represent a constituency, or as part of a party list representing one of the constituent entities. The Chamber of Peers is appointed, with Peers appointed to serve for a single ten year term. Peers can be appointed either by the President (in which case they must be politically neutral crossbenchers) or by the constituent entities.

The most recent general election was held on 27 May 2021; the next must be held on or before 26 May 2025.
