Red Line

The "Red Line" is a Lovian political term for an election treshold imposed by the Prime Minister during Mid-term Elections. Unlike the legal requirement of three votes, the Red Line is not based on the absolute number of votes, but on the number of elected Members of the Congress. For example, if there are seven candidates and the Prime Minister gave permission for five Members to be elected, the Red Line is graphically situated between the fifth and the sixth candidate. The term was coined by The Noble City Times during the Mid-term Elections, 2010.
