Election Aftermath

In the last few days the exact consequences of the voter's will have been inscribed upon every governmental branch. As most people should be aware, Falconias won elected to the Goldenblock. While this has sparked some negative reaction from the typical higher ups in friendly reasons, the hyped up backlash from allies did not occur. Since election Falconias proposed his entire Cabinet to the Senate which were all approved with minimal trouble.
The more interesting story is how the Senate turned out. In an extremely close election the Conservatives lost control of the Senate and became a back-benching party despite their Presidential candidate winning by a respectable vote count.
"Falconias didn't carry the kind of coattails he needed to bump some NCPers into the Senate. HEM and Asianatic both got waves of last minute voting and really deprived the NCP of any sort of majority," Professor J. Leno explains. "The real issue is the late undecideds who may have decided to hold their nose and vote for Falconias over the semi-active CSP [toward the end of his campaign] may have still punched their ballots for the veteran members who now control the Senate."
Indeed, all but one of the Independent Faction members could be considered veteran. Common Sense Politics stands out from the bunch as a fairly new face, but having opposed Falconias the previous election he may be less inclined to support NCP proposals. It doesn't help either that one of the NCP's 4 Senators vanished AWOL around the 15th, but somehow managed to carry enough of the vote to get elected. Some are calling this the results of partisan politics -- the NCP voting for any of their members despite their resumes or current situations.
"Something decisive was clearly the Speaker vote." says an aide from Senator HEM's office. "From the start Senator HEM made requests to the NCP that they back a non-NCP members as speaker as a gesture of good faith. His proposal was responded to very coolly by the two NCP members he approached, and he never really got an official response when he asked one of them to pass the message on."
The NCP unsuccessfully backed fellow Senator and Constitutional Drafter Swakistek for the Speaker post but found themselves faltering at the gate when the entire Independent Faction united around former President Asianatic for the post who eventually won the vote in a squeaker decision.
"The question really comes down to," Professor Lion Forrest says, "Is whether the Independent Faction often known as a sporadic and mismanaged group of citizens with totally different ideals will continue to unite and face NCP proposals with deadlock, or if this Senate will be a bipartisan one."
The later of course, would give us much less to report on.
