Election question

How does a nation that hasn't proposed any bills, was on the losing side of various legislative victories, and abstained from numerous bill win a huge chunk of seats in an election? Am I crazy? Or am I missing something?

I imagine you mean a party, not a nation. With that, if the player has visibility in the sections which are considered vital or dominant in the political opinions section, they may very well win seats in the coming election. Also, winning or losing bill votes does not really effect anything, though winning does have a more positive effect on visibility, it does not mean that they do not gain visibility.

I hope that answers your questions.

I haven't looked in detail, but I'd guess it's because every other party stepped on each others toes. You, me, the PP and the RCL all have visibility that appeals to the majority of Deltarians, so we're basically stealing each others votes. The SPD pretty much got a free, unopposed shot at the conservative minority (which usually gets you about 40% of the vote when you do it right)
