I've already touched on this in another post here, but I've been playing a new campaign and it honestly baffles me how disconnected elections, the upper house, and ideologies are.
In a campaign I played earlier, the ideologies were 18% reactionary, 20% liberal, 40% conservative, and the rest mostly socialist with few anarcho-liberals and communists. The voting intentions were 58% reactionary, 22% liberal, 19% conservative, socialists and communists got no votes. The upper house was pretty much the same as the ideologies.
