In your subnational unit, do people vote for a different party at the local level than they do at a national level?

In my state, our entire congressional delegation is Democratic, and voters picked the Democratic candidate for president. But the governor, state Senate and house, are all controlled by the Republicans.

In fact, all of Northern New England voted Hillary in 2016 and also elected republican governors.

Is this common?

No, everyone is in on the heist in this dictatorship

Our states are using a parliamentary system, so the governor is always representing the majority of the state chamber. There are states with certain tendencies except for Bavaria for a brief period pretty much any flip has happened at some point.

Though the current coalition government doesn't have a majority in the senate(which are direct representatives of state governments, not elected). They are ruled by different coalition governments.

Would you get executed for your 4chan posts if authorities found out? Does your country even have authorities?

I'm seething that Hassan won, but the governor has done awesome so far.

You see the current national government coalition is only represented in 2 states out of 16, and only in a single one if you consider the major/minor coalition partner dynamic.

In our system, which is shared by many, we don't vote for the prime minister (president) or premier (governor) directly, unless you happen to live in their riding. We vote for an MLA (member of the legislative assembly) or a federal MP (member of parliment). The federal parties are Tory, Bloc Québecois, Greens, NDP, and Liberal. There are other provincial level parties that sometimes win a seat here and there at the provincial level. Anyway, whichever party has the most singular votes at the end of the election usually forms a government in Her Majesty's name. The premier or prime minister is whoever happened to be head of that party at the time.


So for example, unless you live in Papineau, you never saw Trudeau's name on a ballot. You simply elected your local MP. At the end more liberal MPs were voted in than Green, NDP, Tory, or BlocQ, so the liberals formed a government and their leader, Justin Trudeau became PM.

It would be possible to have your province go liberal in a federal election but tory or NDP in a provincial election, it recently happened in BC I think, but this is very rare.

General geographic tendencies are: center-left parties are doing better in the protestant north, in the city states and in the Rust belt of Western Germany(though the most major industrialist socdem stronghold flipped this year).

Conservatives are doing better in the Catholic south and rural states(though the greens are governing a major South German state right since they changed quite a lot politically).

Hard left parties are stronger in the former GDR where they even hold a governor spot and even rival the two major parties in votes.

Why do you have different parties on provincial and national level?
>>
>>77201479
You almost never do, but sometimes someone who is basically an unafilliated independent candidate can get enough signatures and money in their riding (district) to form a meme party and subsequently enough votes for a seat. These include nonsense like the communist party, the marijuana party, etc.
They don't generally have enough support to form a legitimate federal party
