Ana Sofia Seco voted out in ULD internal vote of no confidence; Nico Miralles voted in as ULD pledges federalism and support for regionalism.

November 20th, 5732

After the Vintalli Tamayo Scandal, many had questions for if the ULD would continue it's right wing transformation into a national liberal party, and it seems in the 5732 Party Congress, the political environment of Gaduridos was given an answer as what was initially supposed to be seen as a reaffirmation of national liberalism, was instead seen as a rebuke of national liberalism and Ana Sofia Seco as delegates instead issued a vote of no confidence against her and succeeded, with Seco being replaced by Nico Miralles. Almost immediately, Miralles reaffirmed that the Liberal Democratic Union is committed to "modern international liberalism", "free trade", "federalism and respect for regionalism" and "centrist governing". 

The key focus has been on the last two, as Miralles ULD is looking to restore and repair relations with United Vintalli and ensure VU remains a viable partner for the ULD in Vintalli. And to prevent the VU from drifting entirely towards social democracy (as United Vintalli is a broad centre left party, ranging from social democracy to left liberalism/progressivism), it seems the explicit support for regionalism and not just federalism alone is made as a concession to make VU reconsider its current course. The final aspect has been refuting cooperation with the more extremist elements of the nationalist right, as Miralles has reaffirmed that the ULD is committed to the centre, leaving only cooperation with the PSSG and PNPG as the Free Soil Party (PSL) and it's sister party, the National Front (NF) remain firmly locked out of governing for the time being.

The right wing of the ULD has reacted negatively to this, perceiving it as an internal party coup and threatening to outright walk out of the ULD and join the PNPG. As a concession, Miralles have assured that the ULD will remain committed to classical liberalism and oppose big government. This has, seemingly, placated most of the ULDs right wing with the nationalists in the ULD grumbling but staying. But with federalism being made apart of the ULDs manifesto, the question is now shifting to whether federalism can be implemented and whether the Constitution can be rewritten to include federalist provisions for the Kingdom of Gaduridos.
