Metok wins a 2nd term; To another five years.
-------------------------
February 18th, 5705
-------------------------
The 5705 elections have concluded, and it's safe to say that the Metok Administration will continue on for another 5 years as it has a mandate to form a government coalition. Metok has pledged to continue his agenda of economic growth, but has made a key focus on strengthing Pan-Dovani institutions, especially with the recent signature of DEAB. With the CPX celebrating the victory, and PAX getting ready for a new legislative session, let's go over the actual election results themselves.

Starting off with the winner of the election, the Communist Party of Xsampa made solid gains, 16 seats and moving to 255 seats, with a firm 2.8% swing. This has been attributed to moderates endorsing the Metok Administration, and SLP voters defecting en masse. Speaking of the SLP, they have dropped to 74 seats, seeing a swing of -4.1% as voters have left the SLP behind, largely over its identity and the recent division in the SLP Primaries last year. Moving onto the XIP, they have cemented the Xsampan Right firmly, moving to 132 seats, with a 1.2% swing in their favour. Next, Left-Green Dovani, which saw 7 seats gained, and a swing of 1.1%, even with Pan-Dovani Sentiment making major ground in this environment. Land and Bread fell to 15 seats, as rural voters flipped to XIP, causing a swing of -0.3%. Meanwhile the GNP has managed to hold onto its niche of Social Monarchism, but has lost 3 seats, dropping to 18 seats with a swing of -0.5%. The Democratic Progressive Party has also seen a minor drop, dropping to 5 seats with a swing of -0.1%. Barely any changes, but still notable as the DPP has not been ejected from PAX. The XLF keeps its usual 1 seat, and 3 independents also won.

It's clear of 3 things. One, voters chose to not rock the boat and embrace the CPX for another term as the economic growth and stability in the past 5 years was rewarded. Two, the Xsampa Improvement Party has cemented itself and the Xsampan Right as capable of existing as a conservative socialist alternative, to the CPX. And three, the Socialist Labour Party, a giant in the 56th century, is continuing its trend of dying as it continues to lose seats every election. Associated trade unions have questioned whether staying with the SLP is a wise idea, and there are even rumours of potential splits and dissents in the SLP. Whatever the case, Metok has included the SLP and Left-Green Dovani into a governing coalition.
