2011 Second Congress

The 2011 Second Congress is the current congress of Lovia, having ruled since 1 July 2011. It was preceded by the 2011 Provisional Congress. The 2011 Second Congress is scheduled to rule until 31 January 2012, at which point it will be succeeded by the 2012 Congress. The Congress was the first Congress to follow the rules of the 2011 State Reform, which reformed the Congress into an 100 member legislature.

History
The year 2011 began with the election of the 2011 Congress, which at first seemed as an active Congress and a promising force to Lovia. However, because of the Galahad v. The Brigade Trial against the just elected Prime Minister Ygo August Donia, the Donia I Government quickly became very inactive, and activity fell to an extreme low once Donia was imprisoned. Many popular Lovian politician refused to discuss or vote proposals in Congress.

Despite the inactivity, in late April 2011, former prime minister Yuri Medvedev and MOTCs [Marcus Villanova]] and Justin Abrahams put forward a proposal to create a Provisional Congress. Eventually, nine members were selected to become part of the new 2011 Provisional Congress and Marcus Villanova became the new Prime Minister of Lovia. The Provisional Congress formally began activities on 30 April 2011.

Within the month, small protests began to break out in several cities demanding new elections and a democratically elected Congress. Prime Minister Villanova quickly ordered new elections, scheduled to begin on 30 May 2011 and end on 23 June 2011. With the passing of William Krosby's 2011 State Reform, the Congress was hugely reformed, now consisting of 100 members chosen by the numbers of votes of the electoral candidates. By 23 June, the Congress had been decided and the National Congressperson Order was created. The Congress consists of a Progressive majority in the form of the Progressive Congress Coalition.

Currently, no laws have been passed in the Congress but it is currently organizing its internal structure. A Speaker of Congress as well as a government are set to be elected before 9 June 2011.
