CPX prevail in 5720 Elections; Pure Apple Coalition formed.
-----------------------
February 15th, 5720
-----------------------
The 5720 elections have concluded, and it seems voters across the country chose to give the CPX the mandate to govern. Moving from 229 seats to 236, with a swing of 1.2%, the CPX has emerged as the de facto winner of the election. On the flip side, the XIP, while not suffering a total defeat, dropped from 171 to 163, suffering a -1.4% swing, as Karma's Entrepreneurial Socialism spooked moderates, who, rather surprisingly went to the ISDP, who is arguably the biggest winner of the night, jumping from a minor 7 seats to 35, with a swing of 5%. Certainly a jump that no one could've expected in the 10th. 

Regarding the other party's, Left-Green Dovani held firm, moving up from 70 seats to 73, with a small swing of 0.5%. Steady growth, and stable. The SLP plummeted, as a majority of its voter base went to other party's, such as the ISDP, with the SLP falling from 37 seats to 17, with a swing of -3.5%. For the SPX, they've dropped from 11 to 10 seats, with a minor swing of 0.2%. Both the DSLP and the LBP saw a swing of -0.5%, losing three seats as the DSLP fell from 5 to 2 seats and LBP falling from 15 to 12. The GNP saw a swing of -0.4%, going from 15 seats to 13, whilst the DPP fell from 3 seats to 2, suffering a swing of -0.2%. 

Normally, the CPX and LGD would have a fine majority, and Monlam Aurousseau would have a majority to enact his agenda, but after the results were certified on the 10th, disputes emerged between the CPX and LGD over the status of foreign policy, as LGD has demanded a moderate to be installed, or someone from LGD (as there are concerns within LGD over Monlam Aurousseau and his staunchly left wing agenda), whilst the CPX has refused to consider giving foreign policy to Left-Green Dovani, pointing towards the disaster that was the Mearvi-Shar Conference, something that happened under an LGD Premiership. While cynics would hope that the Pure Apple Coalition would fall apart before it even began, a compromise was made to include the ISDP, and offer the position to a moderate, with the coalition agreeing on comrade Gephel, a moderate within the ISDP but still a firm pacifist.

With that issue resolved, Monlam Aurousseau has been formally inaugurated as Premier and has made it clear that there's much work to be done. Continuing the Red-Green Revolution, enacting reforms to the economy to reorient it towards a more worker council oriented direction, and if conditions allow, merge the position of Premier and Custodian. However, Monlam Aurousseau will need to work with PAX heavily as his more radical ambitions may be watered down or outright rejected.
