Randworth - The verdict of the voter is clear, we're going back to the Nationals and the Reform-Labor Coalition as the liberals of Forward Mordusia got decimated in these elections. Its clear, no politics in the centre anymore for the Mordusian electorate. Its been announced that Forward Mordusia will support the winner of the elections, the Nationals in forming a government by giving support and supply confidence, they will not deliver ministers this round. The leader of the Nationals, Henry Humperdinck will be the next Prime-Minister of Mordusia. His counter-part of the Reform-Labor Coalition, Ariana Swan, will become the Leader of His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition. 

The last five years saw a hung parliament with three big factions dominating the political scene. Increasingly the intense debates began to erupt between the old rivals, the conservative Nationals and the centre-left Reform and Labor parties. In this battle it seems strategic voting and the media attention plus combined with experiences campaigning has caused the mainstream parties to regain their traditional position in these elections. 

But these five years were reformative for the main political parties. The Nationals had recovered in opposition the five years prior and could showcase their experience and new leadership during the last five years in their role and a junior party in the coalition. With 5691 marking the re-unification of the Reform and Labor parties in their coalition, brought a stable and strong but also united voice of the left in the opposition. The Reform Party conceded to new rules for leadership, formarly dominated by them but now open to discussion regardless of size of the parties. Labor on the otherhand didnt mind keep the old name of the Reform-Labor, they however did in return get their new leader as the coalition leader, which has brought them great success. 

The new National government will focus on strengthening the economy to finally resolve some issues related to mining, encouraging international trade and strengthening the roads. The Nationals also want to codify and strengthen the ties between Mordusia and Luthori but also between both Crowns. The Nationals have also stated that Seleyan affairs will also take more of a focus of Mordusia, wishing to cooperate and trade more with nations such as Saridan and the Anantonese Empire for a secure, better educated and prosperous Seleya.
