| - The Dorvain General Election, 1919 was held on the 23rd January 1919 to elect the 30th Parliament of the Commonwealth of Dorvain. Each of the 125 parliamentary constituencies elected one Member of Parliament to Parliament. It was the first election not to be held on the scheduled time, of every four years on the 27th of May. Instead it was postponed by some months due to the resolution of a certain conflict, the postponement was backed unanimously, even by the few Democrats in parliament at the time. The election was notable for the emergence of two new parties: the Liberals and the Socialists. The Liberals were founded mostly as a response to the decline of the Moderate Party, and what many classical liberals felt was a cowardly response to the war from the Moderates. The Liberals were however slightly to the right of the Moderates, having more of an appeal to former Royalist voters. As a result, they did best in areas which have traditionally been fairly Royalist. The Moderates managed to win one seat, but would be the last time they do so, as after the election they would dissolve and merge almost equally into the Democrats or the Liberals. Finally, there were the Socialists, which campaigned on a broad socialist platform which had most appeal to former Democrat strongholds which felt the party had abandoned the working classes, and wanted a more aggressively progressive platform than they were offering. The rise of numerous third parties was mostly to the advantage of the Royalists who managed to retain it's strong majority, along with the fact many felt the party was the most stable and best equipped to take charge of the nation post-war.
