Party of the Legalists of Archnox

Party of the Legalists of Archnox (PLA Or Legalists for short) is a center left political party in Archnox made-up primarily of sinophiles from the Archno old guard. The Legalist Party is the largest political party in Archnox. It was the leader of the governing coalition of Archnox during the S_kuzi Ministry.

Foundation
The Legalist Party was founded by Ugur Sahinler on 25 December 2020 to take part in elections under the Westminster Republic. The proposal for the foundation of the Party quickly received positive feedback from Basileus and RioDias. The foundation of the party was completed after S kuzi's addition. The founders quickly decided the basic principles of the Party, mainly influenced by de-facto Ideologist S_kuzi.

Parliamentary Activities
In the December 2020 Archnox general election, the PLA candidates RioDias and Basileus won in their respective election districts which gave the PLA the most seats in the Parliament. Their candidate for the Novorossiya election district, S_kuzi, could not win the vote of confidence. After the electoral defeat, Chairman Datvi announced that S_kuzi was the Party's official candidate for Prime Thijster.

Despite getting the most seats, the Party of the Legalists of Archnox failed to form a government due to the lack of a majority and formed a governing coalition with Redwolf169. Under this arrangement, the Legalists reformed citizenship, undertook Calendar reform, and ended the Regency of Hemuraile, thus founding another Empire.

January 17 2021 Crisis
As a party of various minds, the PLA found its members (Mainly Chairman Datvi) advocating contradicting ideas with the biggest differences of opinion being about the place of Hemu. Chairman Datvi, seeing Hemu's acts as irresponsible and disliking the general character of Hemu, advocated Hemu's replacement while Ideologist S_kuzi sticked loyal to the Party principles and advocated the status quo. It was clear that a crisis was incoming.

On January 17 2021, after the failure of a legislation proposed by Ugur Sahinler which proposed to repeal elections and promote Hemu's role as the ultimate decision maker in Archnox and was meant to be a joke considering how Chairman Datvi was not an Afrikaan therefore did not have the right to propose legislations, Basileus left the Legalist Party and founded the Gangsta Party. This split resulted in the loss of the Legalists' Afrikaaner plurality and Chairman Datvi's resignation from his party roles in favour of S_kuzi.

Party Officials
Before the Crisis of January 17 2021, the party de-facto had Datvi as its Chairman and Spokesperson, S_kuzi as its Ideologist and Basileus as its Debater.

While the Party's foundation documents do not state a Chairman, it can be said that Datvi de-facto had Chairman powers as he had decided without consulting others in several occasions such as appointing S_kuzi as the official Prime Thijster candidate and deciding the voting strategy in December 2020 elections.
