ELECTIONS REDUCE PARTY HELD SEATS IN MAJLIS

(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Chancellor’s Office, June 17, 5729:  Majlis elections produced a surprise. Quite a few more seats went to delegates who were not associated with any party.  The Monsoon asked Chancellor Abdul Aziz what was the likely outcome and he responded:
 

The losses to parties were not evenly distributed.  All the religious oriented or affiliated parties grew, the Metzists of Majatra (MM) held their own, and the Working Institutional Group (WIG) and my party, the Free Radical Supper Club (FRSC) lost.  Think neither MM or Israi Vaues (IV) will want to leave an FRSC Chancellor in place when each has more seats than FRSC.
 
So at this point three scenarios are about equally likely. One is the existing governing coalition could remain in place but with either an MM or IV Chancellor.  MM and IV could come to an agreement but jettison either FRSC or the Forgotten Ahmadis of Majatra (FAM) or both.
 
My own opinion is MM and IV will each try to round up enough votes to lead a new governing coalition without the other

 Asked if he and FRSC would simply await developments given the circumstances, Aziz replied:
 

[font='Times New Roman', serif]That likely would be appropriate.  Seriously.  But no, I am discussing matters with WIG leadership in hopes of jointly encouraging IV’s Defense Minister Salman al-Makhtoum to form a moderate IV, FRSC, WIG, FAM governing coalition.[/font]

Foreign Minister Narouz Soqman, the MM leader, is quite capable of prevailing in these conditions,  and provide capable leadership if he does.
